Schiavo family says Terri is ‘peaceful’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As advocates of Terri Schiavo’s parents make a desperate appeal to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, her husband’s supporters have been pleading his case on the airwaves.
Brian Schiavo, brother of Michael Schiavo, tells CNN that Terri Schiavo is “peaceful” in her hospice bed.
“I will tell a lie detector test if I have to — she is not in pain,” he said.
He said Michael caresses and kisses Terri when he visits her, and she does not indicate to him she is in any pain.
George Felos, lawyer for Michael Schiavo, tells CNN that Michael has been with Terri “continuously.”
Asked by Fox News why Michael Schiavo did not divorce his wife after becoming involved with another woman, Felos said, “Michael is dedicated to Terri, he loves Terri, he made a promise to Terri. He knew if he walked away her wishes would not be carried out.”
