Hannity Goes After Michael Schiavo
Reported by Deborah - March 21, 2005
Hannity,broadcasting from outside Terri Schiavo's hospice, was willing to do anything, no matter how manipulative and devious to promote his agenda. There were interviews with the family who came right out and accused Michael Schiavo of trying to kill Terri making direct accusations that definitly linked him to Terri's original injury. However, later in the show their motivations became clearer since there is a possibility of a new trial.
Hannity first interviewed Bob Schindler, Terri's Father, who complained that he was practically strip searched before he was allowed to see his daughter claiming that she was weakening and "losing texture."
Hannity turned to conversation to Michael Schiavo inquiring about his motivations. Schindler replied,"He's determined to kill Terri. Legal homicide." Schindler went on to say that Michael Schiavo doesn't want Terry to speak because "she could point fingers."
Hannity egged Schindler on and he said,"There was a police report. It was ruled a homicide but never investigated."
Sister came next. Hannity made it easy for her."You feel very suspicious. Why? Explain." Suzanne claimed that they found evidence of broken bones from a scan done 53 weeks after incident which she felt were caused by Michael.
Colmes asked the Brother, Bob Schindler, why there had been no charges against Schiavo. Schindler claimed that they tried but were turned away by the police.When Colmes asked him why Schiavo didn't take the million offered him to back off? Schindler claimed,
"He doesn't want her to get her speech back. He's going to do anything he can to kill her."
When Congressman Capuano,D.,Mass.was interviewed he and Colmes shed some light on the reckless allegations. It seems that legal power always goes to the spouse unless there is criminality or malice proven. So although the family had expressed vague suspicions about Michael in the past, a new trial might motivate a different tactic.
Comment: Hannity seemed frantic and driven determined to get his way at any cost.Colmes was totally on top of the situation tonight injecting fact and logic to an out of control media circus. Hannity will stay in Florida for tomorrow's show so sadly, there will be more to come.
