Thread Name: BS: How Terri Schiavo Will Die
Subject: RE: BS: How Terri Schiavo Will Die
Terri's husband isn't the only one to testify under oath that she'd expressed a wish not to be kept alive in this kind if state. Her friends testified to this as well, and the courts remain persuaded.

There's also a rumor going around that as soon as Terri dies, Michael will inherit a million dollars from her "estate." CNN has shown this to be untrue.

Terry's brother has claimed that Michael wants her to die because "maybe" he beat her up and is afraid that she'll wake up one day to accuse him in court. Since there's no evidence of this, the statement comes very close to slander.

There has also been plenty of talk that Terri is being denied the right to a federal appeal "that even John Couey and Scott Peterson have."

What rubbish! Terri's case has been adjudicated again and again for eight years or more. The courts are following her wishes to the extent that they can be known and on the basis of expert and independent medical testimony.
