(By Bobby Schindler / Lifenews.com) – March 31 marked the 20th anniversary of the passing of my sister Terri Schiavo. Her death concluded our family’s 13-year battle to preserve her life from attempts by Michael Schiavo, Terri’s estranged husband and legal guardian, to put her to death using and abusing our judicial system.
Tragically, on March 18, 2005, Judge George W. Greer, Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, ordered the removal of Terri’s feeding tube, beginning nearly two agonizing weeks of suffering as she slowly succumbed to severe dehydration.
The state and federal courts conveniently overlooked that Michael had once promised lifelong therapies for Terri and received nearly a million dollars from a medical malpractice settlement to fund her ongoing care and support. CONTINUE
