Think the legal manipulation by the Schindler family have possibly been expensive? They have. Millions of dollars have been spent suing Michael Schiavo over his handling of his wife, Terri’s, affairs. So where did the money come from?
Steve Gilliard provides some background on the right-wing money machine that is, in fact, Terri Schiavo. The Schindlers are hooked in with extremists, and they will suffer for it.
Jeb Bush sent the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to take Terri in violation of the court orders in force. Fortunately the Sheriff's deputies on duty stopped them, and they were smart enough not to force the issue. Have the Schindlers shown any appreciation for the fact that Jeb Bush could have gone to jail if the FDLE officers hadn't held back? No, they blame him for letting their daughter die.
She is already dead. They simply will not accept that. Michael Schiavo has laid it all on the line when he authorized a post-mortum autopsy. He has had the very best of medical advice, and made his decision. The courts have repeatedly decided that everytyhing that could be done has been done. Michael Schiavo will live with it, and the Schindlers are going to lose.
But the extremists won't lose. They will move on and collect money based on another media extravaganza.
