For his part, Michael Schiavo has not been a model husband...for that fact, he has not acted like a husband to Terri Schiavo for a long, long time...but you wouldn't come to that conclusion if you are listening to his attorney, George Felos:
“I think it's hard-hearted to say to somebody whose spouse has Alzheimer's, or whose spouse has had some catastrophic accident, that they are consigned to a life of loneliness and then can't form other relationships," Felos told the Witness newspaper. "That's a moral judgment and you know, I think people have different views on it.”
NO GEORGE! You are obviously trying to cloud the issues...the criticism is not that Michael Schiavo is "moving on" with his life...
We are just critical of the fact that he is the one still calling all of the shots for the disabled wife he "left behind"...
The Schindlers say that Michael's actions during the trial that has lasted over a decade are consistent with his desire to "move on" with his life:
* Michael has provided Terri with no therapy or rehabilitative treatment since 1991 and no tests since 1993.
* Terri's teeth have not been cleaned since 1995 and she had 5 teeth extracted in 2004 as a result.
* Terri has been prohibited by Michael from going outdoors since 2000. She is not allowed to have music or flowers and cards and holiday decorations are taken down soon after the Schindler family puts them up.
* Michael has routinely denied Terri's parents medical information, violating a court order and they were taken off approved visitor lists for a total of 8 months from 2001 through 2004.
* Michael has frequently prohibited a Catholic priest from visiting Terri and offering her a blessing or communion.
* Michael melted down Terri's wedding ring to have one made for himself and had her cats euthanized even though the Schindlers offered to care for them....
Why WOULD a "loving husband" melt down his wife's wedding ring while she is still alive??
