You probably have heard about the case of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman in Florida who being starved and dehydrated to death in Florida. What you don't know, because of media one-sided biased reporting, is that Terri is a victim of a violent assault, with the most likely suspect being her husband, who asked the court to have her starved and dehydrated to death. On admission to emergency the day of the injury, a neck injury was noted that is consistent with strangulation. Terri's husband was the only one with at the time. In spite of Terri's husband Michael Schiavo's assertion that Terri's collapse was caused by low potassium from a eating disorder, a bone scan of Terri, dated one year after Terri's collapse, was recently found by Terri's family that shows a history of past trauma with healed and healing fractures. The foremost forensic pathologist in the country noted the skull fractures present and said that it was the skull fractures, not a low potassium level, that caused Terri's brain damage. Upon hearing that Terri's family had found the bone scan, Michael Schiavo asked the court's permission to have her cremated immediately upon her death. The court granted it, preventing future investigations of Terri's injuries. Terri's body is the evidence of the assault and attempted murder. When Terri's family's attorney called the doctor who found the injuries on the bone scan for his testimony, Michael Schiavo tried to prevent Terri's family's attorney from getting his statement. The Doctor testified that Terri's injuries were consistent with either a car accident or a violent assault, and since she had not been a car accident, it left a violent assault as the cause. What people do not know that that the bone scan was ordered when Terri schiavo showed evidence of pain and Said "No" AND "STOP" to the nurses and physical therapists when they were moving her. This was documented in written medical records that accompanied the bone scan. People who are brain dead, in a coma, or in a persistent vegetative state do not talk, or respond to pain. Michael has not allowed terri's family to review any more records, citing terri's right to medical privacy. The court allowed Michael Schiavo, the person who asked for terri's death, and his brother and his brother's wife to provide the testimony that Terri wanted to die if she was ever in a vegetative state. WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW IS THAT THE JUDGE THAT GAVE MICHAEL SCHIAVO THE PERMISSION TO REMOVE TERRI'S FEEDING TUBE HAS ALSO REFUSED TO ALLOW HER TO EAT OR DRINK BY MOUTH AND THAT THE JUDGE SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT FOR HER, THE SAME DEATH WARRANT THAT A JUDGE SIGNS TO EXECUTE A CRIMINAL. Terri is the first crime victim in US history that has been ordered executed by the state. She is the first person that we know of that has been ordered executed by the state without being convicted of a crime. AND TERRI HAS BEEN DENIED AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT HER IN ANY OF THE PROCEEDINGS. She has no legal representation. What is difficult to understand is that Terri's family has fought the court system all these years as a third party, unable to take certain legal actions for Terri, because they had no legal standing as a third party to take those actions. Now that congress has given them this legal standing, it is may be to late to save her because none of judge will grant a temporary reprieve to allow her to be fed. TERRI, AS ALL PEOPLE IN THE US, HAS A RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS OF LAW UNDER THE 14TH AMENDMENT BEFORE BEING DEPRIVED OF HER LIFE, WHICH INCLUDES HAVING OWN LEGAL REPRESENTATION AT ALL COURT HEARING. All these judges who have said that Terri has had more due process of law than anyone are lying because they know that she has been denied her own attorney and her legal representation, and that terri's family has been denied legal actions that her own attorney could have taken to save her life. In in spite of Michael Schiavo's assertion that is a private matter, he is taking someone else's life, and the court system should not be used as a way to "finish the job" when someone fails to kill their victim, or as a way to hide a crime. The federal and florida state court is setting an precedent that will allow the court system to execute people who have not committed a crime, without due process of law, as well as giving murderers a legal way to get rid of family members, children and husbands and wives, or hide a violent crime without detection or prosecution. This shows just how far federal and state judges will go to protect criminals. You can find the documents at www.terrisfight.org, click on "court documents". You can find the bone scan under the column titled "important items". click on the statement "Bone scan on terri-1yr after her collapse". You can find the document denying food and water by natural means under the main column titled "court documents". Scoll down to "greer denies food and water by mouth"
