It’s a cause in search of factual support, not a police case.

Schiavo Autopsy Report
Move on, Gov. Bush – St Petersburg Times

The governor troubles me. He’s telling the Pinellas-Pasco State’s Attorney’s office to investigate why differing statements were made about the time Michael Schiavo found his wife versus when the 911 call was made. Apparently he has trouble reading autopsy reports. This is how the St Pete Times summarized the autopsy reagrding how long Terri’s brain went without oxygen:

Thogmartin stressed how long Schiavo’s brain went without life-giving oxygen. Her heart stopped beating for five minutes, but after paramedics arrived, it was almost an hour before she had a blood pressure high enough to measure.

Jeb! has a cause in search of a factual base. This does not merit investigation. How could she have been without oxygen for five minutes if Michael Schiavo waited 30-60 minutes to call 911? Had he waited that long she would have been stone-cold dead and this would have never made headlines for the demagogues of the right.
