FORMAL COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST JUDGE GREER IN SCHIAVO CASE
Michael Bradle believes that a grand jury should be impaneled to conduct an independent investigation in the Schiavo case. Bradle cited court depositions and police documents in the case which have been reported by The Empire Journal, aspects of the case which have been mostly ignored by the mainstream media or else reported incorrectly. According to a recent press release from The Empire Journal:
"Terri’s estranged husband and guardian, Michael Schiavo, had petitioned Greer’s probate court in 1998 for permission to remove her feeding tube although at that time, a feeding tube was not considered to be “artificial life support.” In October, 1999, after the case had been underway for over a year, led by Sen. James King, the Florida Legislature changed Florida law to include assisted feeding to be artificial life support and Greer retroactively applied the law back to 1985 when Schiavo claimed that his wife had told him that she would not want to be kept alive by artificial means.

DCF told to share files on Schiavo
Ruling that Floridians have a right to evaluate their government's actions in the Terri Schiavo case, a judge Thursday ordered the state to release reports of abuse of the severely brain-damaged woman who died after her feeding tube was withdrawn last month.
Pinellas Circuit Judge George W. Greer gave the state Department of Children & Families until Monday to release nine confidential reports summarizing 89 complaints of alleged abuse of Schiavo called in to the agency's abuse hotline between 2001 and 2004. All of the complaints, which were sought by media outlets in Tampa Bay, were eventually determined to be unfounded.
"The public interest includes the need for citizens to know of and adequately evaluate the actions of DCF and the court system in providing vulnerable adults with the protections provided" under state law, Greer wrote.

I just heard a report on Bay News 9 (www.baynews9.com) that the bill for extra security to the Hospice Woodside during the two weeks they were starving Terri Schiavo to death is well over $100,000. Hospice of the Florida Suncoast (of which Woodside is a subsidiary) requested the added 'protection' for their staff.
This 'protection' for their staff included snipers on the rooftops of nearby buildings. It included several armed officers at Terri's bedside and outside her door.
Mind you: Snipers used in the event they had to shoot at the people who believe in the preservation of LIFE; they were not there to shoot at the people who were inhumanely KILLING a girl.
Even more outrageous than that is the fact that Pinellas Park's city management is proposing that Hospice Woodside be relieved of their obligation to pay for this 'protection' and that the bill be footed by the citizens of Pinellas Park, Florida instead.
Hospice of the Florida Suncoast takes in over 75 Million Dollars annually. Hospice Woodside had allowed Terri to be confined to her room with no access to common areas or the outside grounds. Hospice Woodside also allowed her to be admitted even though she was not terminally ill. And Hospice Woodside's staff refused to administer food and water naturally in violation of Florida's 825.102 statute that defines abuse, neglect and exploitation of an incapacitated person.
Let them pay their own bloody bills.
