(Tampa Bay 28) — More than twenty years after Terri Schiavo’s death sparked a national right-to-life debate, her family returned to court Tuesday seeking to unseal records from her guardianship case.
An attorney for Schiavo’s mother, Mary Schindler, and brother, Bobby Schindler, and the non-profit Terri Schiavo Life and Hope Network appeared before the Florida Second District Court of Appeals in St. Petersburg, arguing that sealed records from Terri’s guardianship should be made public.
“This was one of the most-watched right-to-life cases in history. You had statements from the Pope and President. You had acts of Congress. To say these records don’t hold anything of relevance, I don’t think that passes the sniff test,” said Jeremy Balie, the Schindler family and foundation’s attorney. CONTINUE
