Judge Greer… Incompetent or Worse! CNA Heidi Law Speaks Out.

Posted by Taste of Liberty at 1:17 pm. Filed under: General

Below are portions of an affidavit from Heidi Law, a certified nurse assistant, who cared for Terri Schiavo at Palm Gardens of Largo Convalescent Center in Largo, Fl. (See Cast of Characters.)

Law took care of Terri Schiavo from March 1997 to mid-summer 1997.

You should read the whole affidavit as well as that of RN Carla Iyers found here.

From these affidavits, as well as a growing body of other evidence, it would appear that Judge Greer is either totally incompetent, completely corrupt, or might he possibly be complicit in the murder of Terri Schiavo?

Here is Heidi Law:

On three or four occasions I personally fed Terri small mouthfuls of Jello, which she was able to swallow and enjoyed immensely. I did not do it more often only because I was so afraid of being caught by Michael.

I know that Terri did not receive routine physical therapy or any other kind of therapy. I was personally aware of orders for rehabilitation that were not being carried out. Even though they were ordered, Michael would stop them.

I was told by supervisory staff that Michael was Terri’s legal guardian, and that it didn’t matter what the parents or the doctors or nurses wanted, just do what Michael told you to do or you will lose your job. Michael would override the orders of the doctors and nurses to make sure Terri got no treatment. Among the things that Terri was deprived of by Michael’s orders were any kind of testing, dental care or stimulation.

In the past, I have taken care of comatose patients, including those in a persistent vegetative state. While it is true that those patients will flinch or make sounds occasionally, they don’t do it as a reaction to someone on a constant basis who is taking care of them, the way I saw Terri do.

As a CNA, I wanted every piece of information I could get about my patients. I never had access to medical records as a CNA, but it was part of my job duties to write my observations down on sheets of paper, which I turned over to the nurse at the nurses station for inclusion in the patients charts. In the case of Terri Schiavo, I felt that my notes were thrown out without even being read. There were trash cans at the nurses stations that we were supposed to empty each shift, and I often saw the notes in them.

I discussed this situation with other personnel at Palm Gardens, particularly with Olga, and another CNA, an older black man named Ewan Morris. We all discussed the fact that we could be fired for reporting that Terri was responsive, and especially for giving her treatment. The advice among the staff was “don’t do nothin’, don’t see nothin’ and don’t say nothin’.” It was particularly distressing that we always had to be afraid that if Michael got upset, he would take his anger out on Terri.

The judiciary in this country may have well arrived at the point of complete moral and ethical bankruptcy.

  1. I question why the media reports we are hearing and
    the judicial rulings being handed down are only
    focussing on the specifics of the “right-to-die” issue
    between Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers. There is
    so much more to this story than most people are aware
    of.

    I’m tired of hearing comparisons to other cases of the
    same situation, where the original injuries and cause
    can be conclusively proven to be of an accidental
    nature, such as a motor vehicle of workplace accident.

    This is NOT the situation with the Schiavo case.
    There is far too much that literally STINKS here, and
    we’re not hearing a single thing about it from the
    media.

    Terri’s original injury in itself is suspicious in
    nature. Her husband hears a “thud” in the middle of
    the night, and finds Terri unconscious on the floor.
    Medical personnel have documented that her brain
    lacked oxygen for a period of 6-8 minutes, consistent,
    and most-commonly caused by the trauma of attempted
    strangulation.

    It is also documented that Terri had gone to her
    girlfriend’s home just hours before in tears, speaking
    of a severe domestic dispute between Michael and
    herself. Terri detailed information about Michael’s
    ongoing and continuous verbal and physical abuse, and
    expressed her desire and intent to file for divorce.

    The girlfriend advised Terri to stay the night and not
    go home, but Terri told her that she feared Michael’s
    wrath is she didn’t go back home. Four hours later,
    she was in the hospital.

    * Within 18 months of Terri’s “accident”, Michael
    began dating Cyndi Shook, who has provided a
    deposition regarding Michael’s posseviness and
    charactor. In that deposition, Cyndi explains having
    asked Michael is Terri would want to live this way, to
    which he allegedly replied, “How the hell should I
    know? I was only 25. We never talked about anything
    like this.”

    The entier deposition can be found here:
    http://www.zimp.org/stuff/06%20-%20CindyShookDepo.htm

    * In the several years that followed, Michael won two
    large cash settlements in court cases related to
    Terri’s condition and care totalling over $1.8
    million. The second settlement, $1.2 million, was
    intended to provide for treatment and rehabilition
    physical therapy for Terri.

    The money was never used for that purpose. Michael
    “spirited” her off to the Woodside Hospice in the
    middle of the night, without the knowledge or consent
    of the family or the courts. This was done without
    proper authorization or notification of a terminal
    illness, as required by the courts. Coincidently,
    both Michael and his lawyer, George Felos, were
    high-ranking executives of a holding company which
    owned the hospice.

    * Nursing staff at the Woodside Hospice have detailed
    that Michael refused to allow medications and therapy
    for Terri, as the funds obtained from the cash
    settlement required. Michael intimidated the staff,
    and it was common knowledge that “You do as Michael
    says - or be terminated.”

    Two nurses from Woodside have provided affidavits
    supporting these facts. They can be found here:

    Carla Sauer Iyer:
    http://www.terrisfight.org/documents/CIyerAffidavit090203.htm

    Heidi Law:
    http://www.terrisfight.net/documents/hlawaffidavit.htm

    * There was a third nurse at Woodside, Carolyn Adams,
    who seemed to have an inordinate number of patients
    die during her watch. She was very close to Michael.
    She is quoted as saying, “She’s costing Michael a lot
    of money while she’s alive, and he’s complaining about
    that a lot.”

    * Terri’s tending physician at Woodside, Dr. Victor
    Gambone, allegedly prepared a written statement
    proclaiming Terri to be in a “Permanent Vegetative
    State”, but he never signed the document, questioning
    its authenticity and credibility.

    In a 2002 medical evidentiary hearing, Dr. Gambone was
    questioned about the unsigned statement and asked why
    he had written it. His response: “Because Michael
    told me to do so.”

    * Dr Michael Baden reviewed bone-scans taken of
    Terri, which showed evidence of several broken and
    fractured bones in various stages of healing. He
    concluded that these injuries indicated a pro-longed
    period of trauma, caused by an accident, fall, or
    severe beatings by someone. Since Terri was never
    involved in an accident or documented fall, the
    conclusion appears at the very least, suspicious as to
    cause.

    * It is documented that Terri’s blood-sugar levels
    would be normal prior to any of Michael’s visits, but
    extremely low, borderline of death, after his visits.
    It has been stated by the nursing staff that Michael
    would close and lock the door while visiting Terri,
    and have her medical chart with him. He allegedly
    edited out any positive comments regarding Terri’s
    condition from her charts.

    Nursing staff found an insulin bottle wrapped and
    concealed in paper within the trash barrel of Terri’s
    room immediately after one of Michael’s visits, and
    puncture-marks in her arm.

    * Terri’s parents visited her, and questioned the
    cause of the “injection-marks” in her arms. Michael
    immediately sought and won a court injunction
    preventing the parents from visiting or coming any
    where near their daughter.

    * Michael, while still claiming to be the husband and
    legal guardian of Terri, has been cohabitating with
    Jodi Centonze. She is the mother of two of Michael’s
    children while he is still legally married to Terri.

    Jodi also, in conjuntion with Michael Schiavo, are
    both directors of the Jerger & Centonze Insurance
    Agency. This agency coincidently insures the Woodside
    Hospice where Terri is staying.

    ——

    There is much, much more. But the point has been
    made. We are not dealing with a typical
    “Right-To-Die” case. We are in fact, dealing with a
    case of legalized murder, which has apparently been
    sanctioned by the courts.

    Michael, who is alleged to have “a few” 7-figure life
    insurance policies out on Terri - - through his own
    insurance company, (Jerger & Centonze), has ordered
    that Terri’s body be immediately cremated upon her
    demise.

    This would undoubtedly prevent an autopsy, and thwart
    any efforts by forensic experts to uncover evidence of
    spousal abuse. Something definitely stinks here.

    My question is, with all the media coverage that this
    case has spurred, WHY are we not hearing any of this?

  2. This is a letter I wrote to Governor Bush. I hope that such letters, blogs, and other interactions will allow We The People to initiate a national tidal wave of absolute demands that our government prosecute Michael Schiavo and impeach Judge Greer. Shiavo should be convicted for lying in court which resulted indirectly in murder. Judge Greer should be impeached, disbarred, and never again allowed to function in any court capacity. Terri is looking down upon us now and saying - “Thanks for the grieving, but I don’t want grieving. I want victory. Please destroy those who destroyed my life.” I would like to do that for Terri.

    My letter to Governor Bush:

    Governor Bush:

    Your words: “Many across our state and around the world are deeply grieved by the way Terri died. I feel that grief very sharply as well.”

    You feel the grief, Governor, but you could have and should have stopped Terri’s death from occurring. Then there would have been cheers of victory and no grief.

    Your words: “I still firmly believe that human life is a gift and a mystery….”

    There is no mystery here, Governor. Michael Schiavo wanted more money to put in his own pocket, and he wanted to cover up his own brutal abuse of Terri, so he lied in court regarding Terri’s so called wish to die. He wanted and needed her dead for his own purposes. He had NO concern for her well being or her wishes. Judge Greer ruled in favor of this hell bent liar because he was profoundly incompetent or disgracefully corrupt. He therefore allowed this despicable liar to commit murder. NO MYSTERY GOVERNOR. Easy for any intelligent person to see.

    You could have stopped it. You should have stopped it. You’ve got the guns. But you didn’t have the brains, the courage, or the character to do the job, which includes that you protect your citizens against murder - even when it’s done “legally” and even when doing so includes breaking the law.

    It is The People of any nation or state who write the laws through their elected legislatures. The laws are written in order to function ONLY as a tool to assist in the delivery of justice. The primary goal for The People has NEVER been and SHOULD NEVER BE to “follow the law.” The primary goal for The People SHOULD ONLY be to secure a constant state of justice. The law is only a tool to assist in bringing about that end. On those rare occasions when “following the law” is a hideous and unbearable violation of justice, then the people of that state or nation should act as one, through their leader, in order to stop the injustice, EVEN THOUGH the action necessary is a violation of an existing law. In the end no harm is done. And Justice is served. After the urgency has passed, the law can be rewritten by The People. It is The People who ultimately rule. Justice is their ultimate goal. Your most sacred duty is not to The Law. It is to The People. And their primary demand upon you is not that you always follow the law, but that you always deliver a constant state of justice.

    Governor, you failed to listen to The People. This was the proper time to break the law in order to secure justice. But you were more concerned with following the law than you were with securing justice. Therefore this unbearable murder was allowed to occur. Had you acted quickly, according to your duty, in a confident and heroic manner, there would now be wild cheers of victory instead of tears of sadness.

    From this point on, it is imperative that justice be at least partially served. It is imperative at this time that you do not allow this disgraceful injustice to go unpunished. I just read in a Newsmax.com article: “Florida’s Department of Children and Families had received nearly 90 allegations that Michael Schiavo had abused his wife in recent years - but a Florida judge ruled yesterday that DCF summaries of those allegations must remain secret.” NO Governor! This continued cover up cannot be allowed to stand. You must allow this information to become public, so that all of the good people in the entire state of Florida and in the United States know, for sure, that Michael Schiavo lied and Judge Greer falsely determined him to be “believable”.

    Also, you must prosecute Michael Schiavo for these abuses. And you must prosecute him for lying in court and thereby allowing the wrongful death of the innocent Terri Schiavo who DID NOT WANT TO DIE. You must seek to impeach Judge Greer for his failure to rule in a reasonably sensible manner, whether the reason for his failure was profound incompetence or disgraceful corruption. Either way he should be impeached and disbarred and never allowed to function in any capacity with any court system in Florida or in the United States.

    Thank you for having the wisdom necessary to see the truth in my advice.

    Good luck and God Speed.

    Sincerely,
