Florida agency rejected Schiavo abuse claims

Allegations of abuse were considered and dismissed several times in the 15 years Terri Schiavo was incapacitated.

Greer ordered the DCF to release the records of its investigations Thursday.

The documents include a complaint from 2003 in which the Schindlers accused Schiavo of having said, "I can't wait until the bitch is dead."

The DCF said its investigation found Michael Schiavo to be a loving spouse who cared deeply about his wife.

"The staff involved with her care stated the spouse is always courteous and is rarely alone with the patient," the 2003 report found.

"There is no supporting documentation that the spouse ever made statements about 'Is the bitch ever going to die?' or 'When will the bitch die because I will be rich.'"

2. Unfortunately, the wing-nuts will never believe

anything other than Michael Schiavo was a cold-blooded murderer, that Greer is corrupt, and that all judges are out of control and need to be brought into line - the Christian/Taliban happy-clapper line.

The hard-core radical fundamentalists believe what they want and unfortunately have the ear of many Washington politicians and commentators. After all, 59 million people can't be wrong can they ?? They have God on their side.........

3. I wish

they would spend a little time on it, just to show he's not the monster the media played him out to be.

4. I do too, but you and I know it ain't gonna happen -

he's better (for the media) portrayed as a demon - all that conflict that makes for good ratings, etc. And as I said, people are going to believe what they want - facts would only get in the way.
