Felos: High Priest in the Culture of Death

Schiavo Attorney: 'Venom' Inappropriate



Thursday afternoon, Michael Schiavo's attorney George Felos answered accusations that his client would not allow Terri Schiavo's parents to see her during her last moments alive.

"Mr Schiavo's overriding concern here was to provide for Terri a peaceful death with dignity," Felos said. "This death was not for the sibling and not for the spouse and not for the parents. This was for Terri. She has a right to die peaceably in a loving setting and with dignity and that was his (Michael's) overriding concern."

Michael Schiavo's attorney George Felos answered accusations that Michael was cruel and would not allow her parents to see her during her last moments alive.

Felos responded to Pavone's accusations during the news conference.

"It was very disquieting to hear the priest issue venom and make extremely harsh statements about Mr. Schiavo, about what was going on. I know the priest mentioned he was the head of a pro-life organization and he has a strong feeling of that. We felt that was highly inappropriate under the circumstances."

Felos also said, "Had there been words of reconciliation, words of compassion, words of hope, words of love from (Pavone), perhaps he could have been instrumental in some sort of healing for this family. It is a tragedy that they were all not there and couldn't be there at the time of Terri's passing."

Felos said Michael Schiavo tried to be as respectful as he could to the wishes of the family during the death process.

If we are to believe that Schiavo truly tried to be respectful to the Schindler family and their wishes as he fought to have their beloved Terri killed, then he failed miserably.

Is it possible to buy back your soul once you've sold it?

Is Michael Schiavo so driven by hate that he had to have the family removed and not present at the moment of death - he is evil.

Regarding the comment made by anonymous - non sequitur - this post was discussing the lawyer defending the actions of Michael Schiavo at the moments leading to Terri Schiavo's death. Not public opinion about the feeding tube.
