		<description>I knew better before, but thanks for the summary.  Discraceful hardly even begins to describe Terry's treatment at the hands of her husband and Florida's judiciary.  

I am dumfounded that courts could so consistently find in favor of Mr. Schiavo in the face of the facts as they are.  But I am sickened by what is planned for Terry.  I would have been arrested if I had let my 12 year old dog, suffering from diabetes and an eating disorder, die of starvation instead of having him put to sleep.  But, no problem for Terry, just stop feeding her and watch her slowly suffer and die.  Its heartless and cowardly.  

If they really believed it was best for Terry to die, they would put her to sleep, but as seems the case for the liberal agenda, my dog is worth more consideration that Terry.  Letting her starve to death lets them feel like they are not actually killing her, just letting her take a natural course to the end of her life.  Make no mistake, when they remove that feeding tube, they are killing Terry and in a way that would get them arrested if it were an animal.

What they are doing to Terry is cowardly and immoral.</description>

		<description>Where were these people when the matter was being heard by the court?  Signing an affidavit and showing up to testify are two very different things, which is why showing up is required for the facts to be in evidence.

Your old post lamented that you have not been able to find court docs.  Some can be found at these links:

http://www.2dca.org/opinion/June%2006,%202003/2D02-5394.pdf

http://www.jud10.org/2ndDCA/oct01/2D01-3626.htm

And especially:

If you really give a damn about the facts in this case, go read.</description>

		<description>When I lamented in one of my first posts on this issue that I could not find the "original court documents" I was speaking not of judicial opinions or litigants' briefs, but the actual affidavits and other records upon which the probate judge's decision was based.

I subsequently found many of those affidavits reprinted, and quoted them extensively in &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/archives/000190.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; which I link in the post above.

The contents of those affidavits are eye-opening.

I do indeed give a damn about the facts in this case, Ron C.  And those facts cause me to believe that there has been a real miscarriage of justice.</description>

		<description>I personally gave the cd mentioned in the press release below to a LA Times reporter the CD has information that proves crimes are being committed against Terri, among them attempted murder. He said he had two daughters and that what is doesn't understand why Michael doesn't just hand Terri over to her parents and walk away. I didn't catch his name. Seemed like a really nice guy. In regards to the clear and convincing hearsay evidence which is a total sham:

The words below inside the quotation marks are the actual words spoken
during the Jan 00 death trial. It is on the basis of these words that
Judge Greer concluded that "Terri wants to die." Remember that Terri
did not have any advanced directives, living will or anything in
regards to her wanting to be starved and dehydrated to death. Remember
also that she has been heinously denied rehab and therapy for 10+
years.

This is it:

Joan Schiavo

In the context of discussing friends of Joan's who decided to remove
their year-old infant from a "ventilator machine":
"She had said that if her and Michael were ever put in that kind of a
situation that that would be a situation that she really would not
want to have to deal with, but she knows that her and Michael would
make the best decision and that would be to do the same thing my
girlfriend and her husband did because she would not want to put the
baby through anything like that." (Joan Schiavo Trial testimony
232:18-25, 1/24/00) . "Happened Maybe â ˜85 or â ˜86." (Id. 237:17).
"Her comments related more to what she would do as a parent for a
child. (Id. 238-17-19). They took all the tubing and everything off
the baby." (Id. 233:2-3) "We had stated that if that ever happened to
one of us, in our lifetime, we would not want to go through that.

That we would want it stated in our will we would want the tubes and
everything taken out." (Id. 233:12-16)
In the context of Joan and Terri watching a movie about a diving accident:

"No. She did not want to live like that. She didn't want to go
through that. Have people come and see her like that. Do that to her
family and friends." (Id. 234:19-22). "We had said during the time
with that movie, at one time we had said that if, that we had always
wanted stated, my husband and myself, make up a will. She would want
it stated, and myself, I would, if it came down to something like
that, we would not want any kind of life support." (Id. 236:25-237:5)

"The situation with my girlfriend's baby was when she lived here, not
in Florida." (Id. 244:17-19)

Michael Schiavo

In the context of Michael discussing a conversation with Terri about
her grandmother's death and the effect on her Uncle Fred:
"She says, 'If I ever have to be a burden to anybody, I don't want to
live like that.'" (Michael Schiavo 31:1-2; 1/24/03) "She made the
comment to me that she would never want to be like that. Don't ever
keep her alive on anything artificial." (Id. at 33: 7-8)

Scott Schiavo

In the context of the immediate aftermath of Michael's grandmother's
death. The grandmother had been on a ventilator the last few days.
Afterward, her grandchildren and spouses (including Terri) gathered at
a local country club for lunch:
"And Terri made mention at that conversation that, 'If I ever go like
that, just let me go. Don't leave me there. I don't want to be kept
alive on a machine.' Pretty much everybody at the table that was in
the discussion had made the same comment. No way I want to be kept
alive on a machine." (Scott 1/24/03 at 102:18-24) "And Terri was
sitting with us and Terri made the mention that she would never want
to be kept alive like that. You know, if it is her time to go, it's
her time to go." (Id at 106:22-25)

FL AHCA Cover-Up Forces Schoch to Issue Public Writ of Mandamus 
  A cover-up by the Florida AHCA (under Jeb Bush) in regards to the treatment and care of Theresa Schindler Schiavo, etc. forces Juan Schoch to issue a Public Writ of Mandamaus to various City, County, State and Federal officials.

Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) September 2, 2004 -- The following public writ of mandamus was sent via Express Mail and certified letters to all parties in the letter on 8-28-04. It was also passed out to the media in Tallahassee the day before and on the day of the oral arguments before the Florida Supreme Court regarding the constitutionality of HB 35-E/S 12-E (Public Law 03-418). This is my Public Writ of Mandamus. Each letter came with a mini cd of the AHCA documentation and other information which proves there is a cover-up. (Note: If you would like to represent or know someone who would like to represent this case please call Juan Schoch at 407-925-4141):

August 28, 2004 

James D. Boyd 
Inspector General of AHCA 
2727 Mahan Drive 
Tallahassee, FL 32308-5403 

Re: All information, CCR#s, and yet to be assigned CCR#s contained 
and referred to in CIG#200406030002 and AHCA Tracking #05-003, etc., 
other cases yet to be generated and your duties to set Theresa 
Schindler Schiavo on the road to her recovery (much can be found in 
the enclosed mini compact disc) 

Dear Mr. Boyd: 

Thank you for your letter of August 13, 2004 regarding my August 9, 
2004 e-mail requesting public records and copies of various agency 
documents. In your response you write "…the issues raised in your 
June 3 letter and July 20 e-mail did not show evidence of possible 
violations of statutes, policy or procedure that could constitute 
misconduct or wrongdoing on the part of agency staff…" to which I 
make the following statement and request: 

I demand as a United States citizen and a Florida resident 
sufficient corrective actions, remedies, redress, relief, etc. to 
what I perceive and know to be illegal actions of AHCA, facilities, 
etc. I hereby request AHCA and any other government agency or 
entity, local, county, state or federal invested with investigative, 
enforcement and prosecutorial powers who may be reading this, or 
others of whom it is within their purview of being able to contact 
said powers, etc. to do their jobs of investigating, enforcing or 
assisting in getting the laws enforced in regards to valid 
allegations of acts of felony neglect and attempted murder, etc. 
perpetrated against the person of Theresa Schindler Schiavo. 

While it is my duty (when it has come to my knowledge) as a resident 
of the State of Florida and a United States Citizen to report 
abuses, neglect or exploitations against vulnerable people who can't 
speak for themselves it is NOT my job to site book and page. One 
would think that the competency level of all persons in agencies 
serving the public who by statute are to receive, properly review 
and survey complaints for violations of statutes, criminal 
violations, disregard for policies and procedures that are in fact 
evidence of misconduct or wrongdoing on the part of agency staff and 
facilities, persons, etc. would be much higher then heretofore 
displayed. 

I have provided, while perhaps to some seemingly disconnected or 
incongruent, sufficient, overall and comprehensive evidence to 
illuminate within the average persons mind and their reasonable 
ability to piece together and comprehend pertinent data, more than 
enough evidences of illegal conduct, which point to statute 
violations on the part of agency staff and facilities, etc. and it 
has become painfully clear that people in your and other agencies 
are spending more time sending not just me, but most complainants, 
relating to the matters presented, far afield from the matter at 
hand, of which there is or are: 

* Non-delivery of all 15 retained rights of this incapacitated 
person pursuant to Florida Statute 744.3215(1)(a-o) both 
individually and collectively as a whole 

* State licensed facilities bowing to the abuse of power by the 
guardian, his attorneys, local law enforcement, the state attorneys 
office, and other public officials to facilitate and further the 
denial and withholding of this citizens statutory and constitutional 
retained rights 

* Illegal acts and or omissions by many supervisory level personnel 
in many agencies and facilities, in non-fulfillment of their duty by 
those personnel pursuant to Florida Statute 415.1034 mandatory 
reporting to invoke and call upon protections under the 
whistleblowers act when their employment is threatened. Such and 
other failures are enabling, promoting and facilitating what appears 
to be an overall agenda of their various supervisors (and others) 
who indirectly and/or directly are working collectively (knowingly 
or unknowingly) pursuant to a directed agenda by the recently 
exposed many in positions of public trust 

In light of the fact that AHCA Complaint Administration Unit intake 
operator Justina told me that they "didn't want to hear about what 
particular statute violations were occurring as it is the AHCA's job 
to know these things," and as I have stated above it is not my job 
to point out the specific violations of statutes, policy, or 
procedure that could constitute misconduct or wrongdoing on the part 
of agency staff, facilities, etc. (your words in bold), it should be 
obvious to you that while I am perfectly capable of seeing and 
reporting specific violations I was being told not to do this by the 
Complaint Administration Unit intake personnel. Now I am being told 
by you to the contrary that I must do your jobs. This in and of 
itself is evidence of an agency and a system that continues to 
notoriously exhibit incompetence in this matter, and only proves a 
limited ability to send the very people who you serve, on endless 
tail-chases and endless non-productive rabbit trails. 

While all of this energy is expended, the primary matter at hand, 
the FS825.102 and FS825.103 abuse, neglect and exploitation of 
Theresa Marie Schiavo continues at the liable hands of all agencies, 
various personnel and public officials, etc. to the detriment of not 
only her but all vulnerable adults, elderly and disabled persons 
throughout the State of Florida by the acts and omissions of every 

one of these negligent persons who are entrusted with the Public's 
Trust. 

BE IT KNOWN, that everyone is officially on notice, that to continue 
to obey these illegal and subversive directives, of persons who wish 
to continue to further the obvious and blatant efforts to 
intentionally cause the death of this very conscious, self-aware, 
cognitive, disabled and vulnerable adult (who has been actively 
prevented from getting better) as defined by Florida Statute 415, 
744, 825, 400, 782, the ADA Act, and CFR42 rises to the level of 
felony crimes and is unlawful, collectively, pursuant to Florida 
Statute 876.22 through FS876.31 known as the Subversive Activities 
Act, in that the collective efforts, whether knowingly or 
unknowingly, of all the involved including medical professionals, 
public servants, facilities, guardians, caregivers, and others, is 
ultimately resulting in the destruction of all that we as free 
citizens enjoy as our constitutional protections, which are there to 
guarantee our inalienable right to life, liberty to that life, and 
the pursuit of happiness through our FS744.3215 retained right to be 
restored to capacity at the earliest possible time, which has no 
time limit. 

An Inalienable Right is particularly defined as: That which cannot 
be given or taken away. Thusly, a person cannot Give their Life away 
nor can it be Taken away. Both are crimes, and protections of life 
are networked rather thoroughly throughout our Laws and our 
Constitution. 

Consider this my public Writ of Mandamus to all (with various media 
as my witness) who will be receiving this letter, to cease and 
desist your acts or omissions which are felony crime statute 
violations, which may lead ultimately to this woman's death by your 
incompetency, complacency, malfeasance, misfeasance, obedience to 
personal or collective agendas, disobedience of mandatory reporting 
of abuse, neglect and exploitations. This will require your 
proactive efforts in conjunction with other agencies and persons, to 
go against those who draw you in and only use you as pawns in a 
bigger agenda, by this case, to create a constitutional Right To 
Make You Dead. Investigate and prosecute the guilty parties. It is 
your obligation to set Theresa on the road to her recovery. 

Do your jobs or suffer the consequences in the long run for your 
participation in blatant, in your face, felony crimes. 

Sincerely, 
Juan Schoch / Lake Mary, FL 

P.S. I was never issued new CCR#'s per my written complaints (June 
3, 2004) and yet you have done nothing but obfuscate that fact. I 
find this more than just a little reprehensible and believe it shows 
the complete and total incompetence, if not outright obstruction of 
justice, by you, your staff, the AHCA Complaint Administration Unit 
and others in your agency. It would be smart to stop digging 
yourself a hole and get back on the right track.

that, we would not want any kind of life support.&#8221; (Id. 236:25-237:5)</p>
<p>&#8220;The situation with my girlfriend&#8217;s baby was when she lived here, not<br />
in Florida.&#8221; (Id. 244:17-19)</p>
<p>Michael Schiavo</p>
<p>In the context of Michael discussing a conversation with Terri about<br />
her grandmother&#8217;s death and the effect on her Uncle Fred:<br />
&#8220;She says, &#8216;If I ever have to be a burden to anybody, I don&#8217;t want to<br />
live like that.&#8217;&#8221; (Michael Schiavo 31:1-2; 1/24/03) &#8220;She made the<br />
comment to me that she would never want to be like that. Don&#8217;t ever<br />
keep her alive on anything artificial.&#8221; (Id. at 33: 7-8)</p>
<p>Scott Schiavo</p>
<p>In the context of the immediate aftermath of Michael&#8217;s grandmother&#8217;s<br />
death. The grandmother had been on a ventilator the last few days.<br />
Afterward, her grandchildren and spouses (including Terri) gathered at<br />
a local country club for lunch:<br />
&#8220;And Terri made mention at that conversation that, &#8216;If I ever go like<br />
that, just let me go. Don&#8217;t leave me there. I don&#8217;t want to be kept<br />
alive on a machine.&#8217; Pretty much everybody at the table that was in<br />
the discussion had made the same comment. No way I want to be kept<br />
alive on a machine.&#8221; (Scott 1/24/03 at 102:18-24) &#8220;And Terri was<br />
sitting with us and Terri made the mention that she would never want<br />
to be kept alive like that. You know, if it is her time to go, it&#8217;s<br />
her time to go.&#8221; (Id at 106:22-25)</p>

<p>FL AHCA Cover-Up Forces Schoch to Issue Public Writ of Mandamus<br />
  A cover-up by the Florida AHCA (under Jeb Bush) in regards to the treatment and care of Theresa Schindler Schiavo, etc. forces Juan Schoch to issue a Public Writ of Mandamaus to various City, County, State and Federal officials.</p>
<p>Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) September 2, 2004 &#8212; The following public writ of mandamus was sent via Express Mail and certified letters to all parties in the letter on 8-28-04. It was also passed out to the media in Tallahassee the day before and on the day of the oral arguments before the Florida Supreme Court regarding the constitutionality of HB 35-E/S 12-E (Public Law 03-418). This is my Public Writ of Mandamus. Each letter came with a mini cd of the AHCA documentation and other information which proves there is a cover-up. (Note: If you would like to represent or know someone who would like to represent this case please call Juan Schoch at 407-925-4141):</p>
<p>August 28, 2004 </p>
<p>James D. Boyd<br />
Inspector General of AHCA<br />
2727 Mahan Drive<br />
Tallahassee, FL 32308-5403 </p>
<p>Re: All information, CCR#s, and yet to be assigned CCR#s contained<br />
and referred to in CIG#200406030002 and AHCA Tracking #05-003, etc.,<br />
other cases yet to be generated and your duties to set Theresa<br />
Schindler Schiavo on the road to her recovery (much can be found in<br />
the enclosed mini compact disc) </p>
<p>Dear Mr. Boyd: </p>
<p>Thank you for your letter of August 13, 2004 regarding my August 9,<br />
2004 e-mail requesting public records and copies of various agency<br />
documents. In your response you write &#8220;…the issues raised in your<br />
June 3 letter and July 20 e-mail did not show evidence of possible<br />
violations of statutes, policy or procedure that could constitute<br />
misconduct or wrongdoing on the part of agency staff…&#8221; to which I<br />
make the following statement and request: </p>
<p>I demand as a United States citizen and a Florida resident<br />
sufficient corrective actions, remedies, redress, relief, etc. to<br />
what I perceive and know to be illegal actions of AHCA, facilities,<br />
etc. I hereby request AHCA and any other government agency or<br />
entity, local, county, state or federal invested with investigative,<br />
enforcement and prosecutorial powers who may be reading this, or<br />
others of whom it is within their purview of being able to contact<br />
said powers, etc. to do their jobs of investigating, enforcing or<br />
assisting in getting the laws enforced in regards to valid<br />
allegations of acts of felony neglect and attempted murder, etc.<br />
perpetrated against the person of Theresa Schindler Schiavo. </p>
<p>While it is my duty (when it has come to my knowledge) as a resident<br />
of the State of Florida and a United States Citizen to report<br />
abuses, neglect or exploitations against vulnerable people who can&#8217;t<br />
speak for themselves it is NOT my job to site book and page. One<br />
would think that the competency level of all persons in agencies<br />
serving the public who by statute are to receive, properly review<br />
and survey complaints for violations of statutes, criminal<br />
violations, disregard for policies and procedures that are in fact<br />
evidence of misconduct or wrongdoing on the part of agency staff and<br />
facilities, persons, etc. would be much higher then heretofore<br />
displayed. </p>
<p>I have provided, while perhaps to some seemingly disconnected or<br />
incongruent, sufficient, overall and comprehensive evidence to<br />
illuminate within the average persons mind and their reasonable<br />
ability to piece together and comprehend pertinent data, more than<br />
enough evidences of illegal conduct, which point to statute<br />
violations on the part of agency staff and facilities, etc. and it<br />
has become painfully clear that people in your and other agencies<br />
are spending more time sending not just me, but most complainants,<br />
relating to the matters presented, far afield from the matter at<br />
hand, of which there is or are: </p>
<p>* Non-delivery of all 15 retained rights of this incapacitated<br />
person pursuant to Florida Statute 744.3215(1)(a-o) both<br />
individually and collectively as a whole </p>
<p>* State licensed facilities bowing to the abuse of power by the<br />
guardian, his attorneys, local law enforcement, the state attorneys<br />
office, and other public officials to facilitate and further the<br />
denial and withholding of this citizens statutory and constitutional<br />
retained rights </p>
<p>* Illegal acts and or omissions by many supervisory level personnel<br />
in many agencies and facilities, in non-fulfillment of their duty by<br />
those personnel pursuant to Florida Statute 415.1034 mandatory<br />
reporting to invoke and call upon protections under the<br />
whistleblowers act when their employment is threatened. Such and<br />
other failures are enabling, promoting and facilitating what appears<br />
to be an overall agenda of their various supervisors (and others)<br />
who indirectly and/or directly are working collectively (knowingly<br />
or unknowingly) pursuant to a directed agenda by the recently<br />
exposed many in positions of public trust </p>
<p>In light of the fact that AHCA Complaint Administration Unit intake<br />
operator Justina told me that they &#8220;didn&#8217;t want to hear about what<br />
particular statute violations were occurring as it is the AHCA&#8217;s job<br />
to know these things,&#8221; and as I have stated above it is not my job<br />
to point out the specific violations of statutes, policy, or<br />
procedure that could constitute misconduct or wrongdoing on the part<br />
of agency staff, facilities, etc. (your words in bold), it should be<br />
obvious to you that while I am perfectly capable of seeing and<br />
reporting specific violations I was being told not to do this by the<br />
Complaint Administration Unit intake personnel. Now I am being told<br />
by you to the contrary that I must do your jobs. This in and of<br />
itself is evidence of an agency and a system that continues to<br />
notoriously exhibit incompetence in this matter, and only proves a<br />
limited ability to send the very people who you serve, on endless<br />
tail-chases and endless non-productive rabbit trails. </p>
<p>While all of this energy is expended, the primary matter at hand,<br />
the FS825.102 and FS825.103 abuse, neglect and exploitation of<br />
Theresa Marie Schiavo continues at the liable hands of all agencies,<br />
various personnel and public officials, etc. to the detriment of not<br />
only her but all vulnerable adults, elderly and disabled persons<br />
throughout the State of Florida by the acts and omissions of every </p>
<p>one of these negligent persons who are entrusted with the Public&#8217;s<br />
Trust. </p>
<p>BE IT KNOWN, that everyone is officially on notice, that to continue<br />
to obey these illegal and subversive directives, of persons who wish<br />
to continue to further the obvious and blatant efforts to<br />
intentionally cause the death of this very conscious, self-aware,<br />
cognitive, disabled and vulnerable adult (who has been actively<br />
prevented from getting better) as defined by Florida Statute 415,<br />
744, 825, 400, 782, the ADA Act, and CFR42 rises to the level of<br />
felony crimes and is unlawful, collectively, pursuant to Florida<br />
Statute 876.22 through FS876.31 known as the Subversive Activities<br />
Act, in that the collective efforts, whether knowingly or<br />
unknowingly, of all the involved including medical professionals,<br />
public servants, facilities, guardians, caregivers, and others, is<br />
ultimately resulting in the destruction of all that we as free<br />
citizens enjoy as our constitutional protections, which are there to<br />
guarantee our inalienable right to life, liberty to that life, and<br />
the pursuit of happiness through our FS744.3215 retained right to be<br />
restored to capacity at the earliest possible time, which has no<br />
time limit. </p>
<p>An Inalienable Right is particularly defined as: That which cannot<br />
be given or taken away. Thusly, a person cannot Give their Life away<br />
nor can it be Taken away. Both are crimes, and protections of life<br />
are networked rather thoroughly throughout our Laws and our<br />
Constitution. </p>
<p>Consider this my public Writ of Mandamus to all (with various media<br />
as my witness) who will be receiving this letter, to cease and<br />
desist your acts or omissions which are felony crime statute<br />
violations, which may lead ultimately to this woman&#8217;s death by your<br />
incompetency, complacency, malfeasance, misfeasance, obedience to<br />
personal or collective agendas, disobedience of mandatory reporting<br />
of abuse, neglect and exploitations. This will require your<br />
proactive efforts in conjunction with other agencies and persons, to<br />
go against those who draw you in and only use you as pawns in a<br />
bigger agenda, by this case, to create a constitutional Right To<br />
Make You Dead. Investigate and prosecute the guilty parties. It is<br />
your obligation to set Theresa on the road to her recovery. </p>
<p>Do your jobs or suffer the consequences in the long run for your<br />
participation in blatant, in your face, felony crimes. </p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Juan Schoch / Lake Mary, FL </p>
<p>P.S. I was never issued new CCR#&#8217;s per my written complaints (June<br />
3, 2004) and yet you have done nothing but obfuscate that fact. I<br />
find this more than just a little reprehensible and believe it shows<br />
the complete and total incompetence, if not outright obstruction of<br />
justice, by you, your staff, the AHCA Complaint Administration Unit<br />
and others in your agency. It would be smart to stop digging<br />
yourself a hole and get back on the right track. </p>
