With Last Court Defeat, Terri Schiavo's Family Out of Options
PINELLAS PARK, FL (LIFENEWS.COM) -- With a decision by the Florida
Supreme Court rejecting one last effort to head off Terri Schiavo's
painful starvation death, Terri's parents Bob and Mary Schindler are
virtually out of options to save their daughter. After receiving the
news that Florida's high court rejected an appeal seeking to halt the
starvation because Terri tried to say she wanted to live, the
Schindler family has gone into seclusion. Brother Paul O'Donnell, a
Franciscan monk who has been helping the Schindlers this week said
they would be granting no further interviews. The only remaining
legal options for the family rest with appeals filed by Bush's
attorneys seeking to overturn Greer's order against custody. The
appeals have been filed with the 2nd District Court of Appeal, which
has consistently ruled against the Schindlers and Governor Bush. The
Schindler family visited Terri on Saturday and attorney Barbara
Weller was with them. Weller told the Associated Press that Terri
cried when her mother hugged her. "She knows what's going on. She was
trying to vocalize something with Mary," Weller said. "Terri still
knows who her mother is, and she's extremely distressed," Weller
added. "She's not a vegetable who doesn't know what is happening."
Bob Schindler, Terri's father, said he appreciates the support from
the hundreds of pro-life and disability rights activists who have
been at their side during the week. He said he hopes they will
continue to be supportive in the coming days. "We want people to
continue to be here [at the hospice] with Terri, and with us," he
said Saturday night. Read the complete story[4].
TERRI SCHIAVO\'S PARENTS HAVE FILED THIER LAST COURT APPEAL
WASHINGTON, DC (LIFENEWS.COM) -- Terri Schiavo's parents have filed
their last appeal of a court decision, accoring to an attorney for
Bob and Mary Schindler. The appeal, ironically, has to do with a
motion asking for her starvation death to be halted because she tried
to tell an attorney for the Schindlers that she wanted to live. The
appeal comes of a ruling handed down by Circuit Court Judge George
Greer, who decided Terri's comments were involuntary and simply
groans and muttering consistent with a patient in a persistent
vegetative state. "This is our last appeal," family attorney Barbara
Weller said. "We do have one more iron in the fire," she added, but
did not specify what that strategy included. George Felos, the
euthanasia advocate who is Michael's lead attorney, told CNN, "Any
fair observer would say that the legal struggle is over here." The
motion said Terri clearly demonstrated her desire not to be starved
to death when she tried to tell a family attorney she wanted to live.
But, Greer said the family failed to bring up Terri's statement in two
previous emergency hearings he held during the week. "What you're
seeing is a textbook example of judicial tyranny,'' Bob Schindler
told reporters. "They either find way or make a way. They have a
mindset to kill Terri.'' Schindler said Terri was "putting up a
tremendous battle to live." "She is fighting like hell to stay
alive," he said. "I want the powers that be to know that. It's not
too late to save her." Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who is
helping the family, said the Schindler family is tormented over
what's been happening this week and saddened at running out of legal
options. ''The anguish is really with Mary [Schindler],'' O'Donnell
said, according to Bloomberg News. "It is so hard for her. You see a
brave front when they come out here, but it's heart wrenching. Each
day, it gets harder and harder.'' Read the complete story[5].

TERRI SCHIAVO\'S ESTRANGED HUSBAND DENIES HER FINAL COMMUNION
PINELLAS PARK, FL (LIFENEWS.COM) -- Terri Schiavo's estranged husband
Michael has denied Terri a final communion before she succumbs to a
painful starvation death. The decision has Terri's parents and family
in a state of shock. Responding for the Schindler family, Brother Paul
O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who has been helping the family this past
week, said it was an affront to Terri and her Catholic beliefs. "Terri
Schiavo ... a practicing Roman Catholic all her life, has been denied
the precious body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ," O'Donnell
said. "This is in violation of her religious rights and freedoms and
allows the governor to … intervene," O'Donnell added. The
decision is important to Terri's family as it could be the last time
she has communion before she dies. No one knows if Terri could
swallow the communion bread and wine because Michael has not allowed
doctors to conduct swallowing tests to determine whether Terri could
eat or drink on her own. Even if she can't eat or drink, a very tiny
morsel of bread and a drop of wine would have been placed on her
tongue during the ceremony, O'Donnell said.Read the complete
story[7].
TERRI SCHIAVO\'S PARENTS, MICHAEL\'S ATTORNEY DISAGREE ON HER
CONDITION
PINELLAS PARK, FL (LIFENEWS.COM) -- Terri Schiavo doesn't have much
time left and as her medical condition worsens due to the starvation
and dehydration, her parents and an attorney for her estranged
husband disagree on whether she is suffering. "She's doing remarkably
well under the circumstances," Terri's father, Bob Schindler, told
reporters after visiting her inside the hospice Saturday afternoon.
"She has put up a tremendous battle to live. She's not throwing in
the towel." That said, Barbara Weller, an attorney for the
Schindlers, told Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" that blood was
coming from Terry's eyes and tongue. "Her eyes are sunken and her
skin continues to flake off," Weller added. Terri looks so poor in
health now that Weller described her as resembling "an Auschwitz
victim." But George Felos, the euthanasia advocate who is Michael's
attorney, disagreed with Weller's characterization. He said Weller's
comments about bleeding were not true. "I will tell you that as it
appears to me, Mrs. Schiavo's death is not imminent by any means,"
George Felos told the Associated Press Saturday. "She is resting
comfortably. Her breathing does not appear to be shallow." Read the

NEXT BATTLE IN TERRI SCHIAVO CASE COULD BE VISITATION ISSUE
PINELLAS PARK, FL (LIFENEWS.COM) -- Assuming Florida and federal
courts continue their rigid stance in favor of Terri Schiavo's
painful starvation death, the issue of visitation could be the next
legal battleground. Terri's estranged husband Michael and her parents
Bob and Mary Schindler have not spoken in years and they do not visit
Terri at Woodside Hospice at the same time. As Terri's legal
guardian, Michael controls which people are allowed to be placed on
an approved list of visitors. Michael has spent most of the time with
Terri this week and the Schindlers are permitted to visit from time to
time. A local shop owner across the street from the hospice has
allowed the Schindlers to turn his business into a waiting area with
couches for the Schindlers to relax and be close to Terri and the
media circus outside the hospice. With Terri close to death, the next
battle in the ongoing controversy could be who gets to be with Terri
if she dies. Hamden Baskin, one of Michael's attorneys, said the two
sides have no discussed who should be allow to be present with Terri
when she dies. However, he indicated Michael would likely be with
Terri. "He will be in a position to be with her in the end as he
should as her husband," Baskin said. "He's been very gracious to
extend the family a great deal of time with Terri. As the time draws
near, it does become a more difficult logistic situation. Michael has
the right to choose the amount of time he will stay with her." Read

TERRI SCHIAVO FRIEND: SHE OFTEN HAD BRUISES, TALKED DIVORCE
PINELLAS PARK, FL (LIFENEWS.COM) -- A friend of Terri Schiavo's says
the disabled woman frequently had bruises on her arms and legs prior
to her collapse in 1990. The comments lend further evidence to
allegations that Terri's estranged husband Michael abused her and
that those actions caused her current condition. "I did notice
bruises on her upper arms and upper legs," Jackie Rhodes told Fox
News Channel's Greta Van Susteren. The two worked together at an
insurance company's office. Rhodes said she wasn't phased at the time
by Terri's frequent bruising and attributed it to "maybe running into
the desk at work or, you know, maybe she was extra-sensitive." "But
now, hindsight tells me that I did see them quite frequently and that
they may have been more than just a bump into the desk," Rhodes
explained. "They were mostly bruises where normally they would be
covered up, you know, during the work day," she said. "They were
smaller bruises, like maybe someone had grabbed her or, you know,
like, squeezed her arm or leg really tight." In her Friday interview,
Rhodes revealed that Terri and her husband had a heated argument on
the evening prior to February 25, 1990, when Michael supposedly woke
up to find Terri unconscious in the hallway of the couple's St.
Petersburg home. Rhodes told Fox News that Terri called her in tears
after the fight and she confirmed other accounts of Terri saying she
and Michael had discussed a divorce. Read the complete story[14].
