James Joyner reports that Michael Schiavo will allow an autopsy of his wife.
The husband of brain-damaged Florida woman Terri Schiavo has ordered an autopsy after she dies to silence allegations his plan to cremate her body is aimed at hiding something, his lawyer said on Monday.
Certainly symbolic of the mess that this situation has become.
Like James, I suspect that this move will not silence his critics, at least not the ones who have decided that he is the villian (often a pretty nasty one) of this story.
the extent of terri’s injuries are IMMATERIAL.
SHE WAS NOT TERMINAL.
And he was estranged from her.
These are facts.
You may chose to ignore them, but that wonl;t make them go away, or prevent people like my from feeling that when the court decided that Terri would rather be DEAD, that the court erred.
also belive that OJ IS guilty of murder - though a court decided otherwise. Courts are impoerfct.
Dred Scot. WW2 Internment.
The list goes on.
So I think that while we should all obey the rule of law - that does NOT mean that we must all think that the law is always right.
Many in the Left-wing dominated MSM - (and even a few centrist-hawks in the blogosphere, like Instapundit, Andrew Sullivan, James Joyner, and Greg Djerejian) - have derided the Schindler supporters as a theocratic MOB - dangerous religious zealots who want to demolish the wall between church and state.
Bullshit.
The Schindlers have seen the courts systematically rule in a way that guarantees their daughter dies a slow torturous death, and YET… in spite of that fact, and in spite of the fact that the court-sanctioned murder violates their most deeply held religious beliefs, they are stoically obeying the law!
The real MOB is the LEFT. They are - like Romans in the Colosseum - turning their thumbs down and demanding that Terri die. And the Judges - like obedient Emperors satisfying the blood-lust of the MOB - have obliged and have ordered that Terri be starved to death.
Terri’s state-sanctioned murder is as legal as the murder of Christians in the Colosseum. Which is to say TOTALLY legal, and ABSOLUTELY MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE. And the real MOB is pleased.
SO I ASK YOU: Would you want your ex to be your legal guardian!?
In 50 out of 50 US states, when the husband cohabits with a woman other than his wife - (and has 2 kids with her) - then he is an adulterer in violation of his marriage vows, and this is ABSOLUTE PROOF in any divorce court in all 50 states of ABANDONMENT AND ESTRANGEMENT.
If Schiavo had to move on from Terri (because of her condition) - FINE — but then he should’ve also given up guardianship of his EX-wife. Or the court shouldn’t've taken his side. This is the fundamental conflict of interest that undermines Schiavo’s assertion (and that of his family) that Terri would’ve wanted to die. An assertion that was not made until after he got the settlement money (seven years after her “incident”) and after he got the new live-in girlfriend.
Coincidence!?!?
YUP, and OJ is innocent.
At leqast a court of law said so…

I suspect that if OJ’s case was reviewed and re-reviewed by as many courts as this one (if such a thing were legal) he would easily be found to be guilty.
To pretend that this issue has not been thoroughly reviewed is to ignore stacks of facts.

BTW:
1) He was not estranged from her.
2) Extent of injuries seems quite relevant to me.
3) It would seem to me that you have not reviewed the actual facts, but instead have decided your position and have then cherry picked what you want to believe.
