Terri Schiavo's Husband: Jeb Bush 'Put Me Through Hell'

[Faun]

Neurologist testified during her trial that she had neck injuries caused by strangulation. It's documented.

Do you have a link to that? Because it kind of sounds like you are making shit up now.

Funny how the autopsy states the was no evidence of neck injuries. And while it also points out that any such injuries, had there been any, would have likely healed after 15 years, the medical examiner also reminds us there were no neck injuries, or any other signs of foul play, reported or observed when Terri first suffered cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest, by the way, which the medical examiner determined was most likely caused by a critical lack of potassium; possibly the result of an eating disorder.

Exactly. They conveniently like to ignore the fact that mr abuser withheld therapy and medical treatment for years prior.

Because they wouldn't do any good. Her brain was essentially jelly. She had no higher brain functions or motor skills. All she had was the part of the brain that keeps the heart and lungs functioning.

The only reason why I think the judge would have sided with the husband is because he was the husband. He thought the same as a lot of you seem to think, that the parents have no say in their daughter's life because she was married. Well, I don't believe that. They will always be her parents, regardless of whether or not she is married, and I would trust their unconditional love over a man who was cheating on her.

1) He wasn't cheating on her.
2) Other people she knew confirmed that she wouldn't want to be kept alive under such circumstances.
3) Such decisions are given to spouses for a reason.

Terri's own family encouraged him to start dating and to move on with his life.

Who?
WHo the **** cares?
The only--ONLY--reason you give a shit is because with Mitt out Jeb looks like the RINO choice, so you have to dig up some shit about some woman from 20 years ago that no one, including you, really give a **** about. Using other people's tragedies for your advatnage. Yup, you're a lib.
**********.

Actually, I do give a ****. The Terri Schiavo case was a royal clusterfuck by GOP NaziCons. It was disgusting!

No you only cared because CNN told you to.

Lakota you forget RWs have no sympathy or respect for the disabled.

No that is the federal Gubbermint.

Exactly. They don't even know the facts if the case. Just the usual lefty talking points and buzz words that were fed to them.

It's in the deposition. Look it up. It ain't that hard.

The girlfriend gave a deposition that he denied a conversation took place about her wishes.

The only other people who conveniently came up with that testimony only did so years later after he rec'd a 1,5 million dollar settlement.....and it was Michael, his brother and his sister in law. All had motive to lie.

Yes he was. If he was still married to her and sleeping with someone else, THAT is cheating.

So WHAT? Is he a little baby incapable of keeping his own vows. Okay, I'm going to tell you to go cheat on your wife now. It's okay.

So if you are completely incapacitated and there is no hope of recovery, you want your husband to remain isolated and alone?

Her brain atrophied due to lack of exercise . It got that way from years of abuse. The nursing home and Terri's parents fought for medical treatment and therapy for years. Michael withheld it.

I love how you never read any of the case files but love to pretend you how everything. You are a hoot.

If she didn't have a living will, then any testimony as to what SHE wanted is merely speculation.

Like I said, he should have divorced her. If he had wanted to move on, divorcing her and leaving her care to someone else would have been the appropriate thing to do.

Can't get a 1.5 million dollar settlement that way though.

Do you have one, most don't, and they aren't binding regardless. And here's the rule, the person you marry will get to make the call, nearly without exception. Now you know. If my wife lets me hang out on a machine I will haunt for eternity, and she knows it so it won't happen.

Yes, isn't funny how he supposed wanted to move on with his life but didn't bother to divorce her? Hmmm.

Not at all. It was always his call, and always should have been. When it was obvious that she had no way back that should have been the end of it, and the end of her even though she was already gone.

I disagree. It would harm no one to allow her parents to care for her at home instead of pulling her feeding tube and allowing her to starve to death.

Prior to the settlement his testimony was always ..." I want to become a nurse and spend the rest of my life taking care of her, she is my life"....after... "She wants to die,she told me so".

Funny how fast that 1.5 million made him change his tune.
