Forget about evidence: Bring on the “experts”

One "media psychiatrist" says Michael Schiavo is no different than "O.J. Simpson and Scott Peterson."

Terri Schiavo’s parents have long expressed suspicion of foul play by her husband, Michael Schiavo. In a recent radio interview with “Dr. Carole” Lieberman, M.D. (a “media psychiatrist” who entertains audiences, Dr. Laura-style, with her analyses of TV shows like “Survivor” and “Big Brother”), Richard Schindler said he and his wife had observed bruises on Terri’s body prior to her collapse in 1990. Terri had begun to talk about filing for divorce, they said. To date, no evidence has emerged in support of either allegation.

Some who blame Michael Schiavo for Terri’s condition cite a attempted homicide.

And Lieberman says she’s highly suspicious of Michael Schiavo’s stated wish to have his wife’s body cremated, should she ever be allowed to die. Lieberman told War Room by phone today: “He’s trying to get rid of any evidence that he was responsible for her state.”
