[quote][b]Probe Sought in Terri Schiavo 911 Call[/b]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday that a prosecutor has agreed to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, citing an alleged time gap between when her husband found her and when he called 911.

...

Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment from The Associated Press. But on Wednesday he said his client didn't wait to call for help and has conceded that he confuses dates and times.

Felos has said that if Michael Schiavo had not called 911 immediately, as Bush and others allege, Terri Schiavo would have died that day.

"There is no hour gap or other gap to the point Michael heard Terri fall and called 911," Felos said. "We've seen the baseless allegations in this case fall by the wayside one by one ... That's what I would call it, a baseless claim to perpetuate a controversy that in fact doesn't exist."

...

"Enough is enough," said Democratic Sen. Ron Klein. "I don't want to see it on TV any more, I don't want to hear politicians talk about it. Let her be at peace."

Bush acknowledged in his letter that an investigation may be difficult.

"I understand that these events took place many years ago, and that you may not be able to collect all the relevant records and physical evidence. However, Mrs. Schiavo's family deserves to know anything that can be done to determine the cause and circumstances of her collapse 15 years ago," Bush wrote. "The unanswered questions may be unanswerable, but the attempt should be made." [/quote]

:shock:

I seriously cannot believe that this is still ongoing. Is her family missing all the media attention? There is just no rational reason for continuing this absurd battle.

I've got to echo Sen. Klein's sentiments. Enough is enough...

Way to beat a dead... wrong choice of words. But seriously, I thought they already attributed this to her eating disorder. What do they hope to prove here?

^^^ I'll say it for you.

Way to beat a dead horse. Let her rest in fucking peace.

They ain't gonna prove nothing, and they don't want to: they're just out to get back at Michael and save their faces. Prove he has been out for her death in his own interest.

I'm going to have a fundraiser and rent a platoon of child soldiers to shoot the whole goddamn Bush family.

Re: Terri Schiavo, revisited

this is going to be the issue that ruins the republicans in the midterms and will pave the way for a democratic revolution in 2008....both houses and the white house will go blue. this will be used as an example of how the republicans are now telling people how to live and how to make personal choices (of course this has been the case with abortion for years now....but that doesn't count in their eyes...).....which goes agains the 'don't tread on me' mantra that the repubs have held so close for so long....
