OK, let’s check ’em off, shall we?

• She was in a persistent vegetative state from which there was no chance of recovery,
• She was blind, and therefore not following the balloons or smiling at mom,
• Her brain had dissolved into half its normal size,
• She would have died if any of the Schindler supporters succeeded in getting food or water to her,
• She was never abused or drugged or poisoned by her husband.

The only avenue left for persecuting Michael Schiavo was the fact that no evidence of bulimia was discovered in Terri’s autopsy. So the Schindlers and the pack of ghouls supporting them jumped on some “gap” of time between her collapse and Michael’s 911 call. There must be an inquiry! Governor Bush to the rescue, again!

Or, maybe not so much:

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) — Gov. Jeb Bush has declared an end to the state’s inquiry into Terri Schiavo’s collapse 15 years ago, after Florida’s state attorney said there was no evidence that criminal activity was involved.

In asking [State Attorney Bernie] McCabe to look again into how Schiavo slipped into a persistent vegetative state, Bush had cited an alleged gap between when Schiavo’s husband Michael found her and when he called 911. The governor had said the issue remained unsettled.

McCabe said, however, that while such discrepancies may exist in the record, Schiavo’s statements that he called 911 immediately had been consistent.

“This consistency, coupled with the varying recollections of the precise time offered by other interested parties, lead me to the conclusion that such discrepancies are not indicative of criminal activity,” McCabe wrote in a letter to Bush accompanying his report.

Now the only thing left for the zombie-worshippers is to protest that Michael Schiavo should give back the money he made on the malpractice decision against terri’s doctors, where the court’s decision was based in part on the allegation of Terri’s bulimia. Since she didn’t have bulimia, they argue, he should give the money back. Even though that money went to pay for Terri’s enormous hospital expenses.

I do feel bad for the doctors who were wrongly convicted of malpractice. They should get money back and their records expunged. But that’s a failing of the court, not of Michael Schiavo. He has suffered enough already. Leave him alone.
