Michael Schiavo Could Face Criminal Charges

CLEARWATER, Florida, January 31, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As Pinellas County Circuit Judge George Greer deliberates whether he will allow attorneys to proceed with arguments that brain-disabled Terri Schiavo's right to due process was violated, a media source is claiming that Michael Schiavo could face criminal charges.
New York's Empire Journal is calling on the Florida judicial system to impanel a Grand Jury to investigate foul play as a cause of Terri Schiavo's brain damage.
"One of the most compelling reasons to impanel a grand jury into the matter is the opinion issued by Dr. Michael Baden, renowned forensic pathologist, author of three books on forensic pathology," the Journal authors write.
The Empire Journal authors outline the evidence stated by Dr. Baden, including results of a bone scan done in 1991 that revealed "other injuries, other bone fractures that are in the healing stage."
"Baden noted that she had the bone scan done in 1991 at a rehabilitation facility that describes her as having a head injury, 'That's why she's there, that's why she's getting a bone scan,' Baden [said], because she has a head injury,'" the Journal authors explained.
Terri Schiavo's estranged husband claims her collapse and brain damage was a result of potassium imbalance leading to heart failure that left her brain damaged. Baden "said he wasn't suggesting that a potassium imbalance had caused a fall that led to a head injury or some pre-existing head injury which could have led to her passing out."
"Baden said that the injuries sustained by Terri Schiavo could have happened from 'some kind of trauma. The trauma could be from an auto accident, the trauma could be from a fall or the trauma could be from some kind of beating that she obtained from somebody somewhere. It's something that should have been investigated in 1991.'"
Terri Schiavo's estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, has been battling in the courts with Terri's parents to have her feeding tube removed that she be killed. In the event of Terri's death, Michael stands to inherit what remains of a one million dollar insurance payout granted for Terri Schiavo's ongoing rehabilitation. He resides with another woman, with whom he has had two children.
On Friday, Judge Greer gave the Schindler's attorney David Gibbs until Feb. 7 to submit written legal arguments arguing that Terri's due process rights were neglected because she has never had her own attorney to represent her. Greer said he would decide within the following three days whether he would allow Gibbs motion to proceed.
