No, by the grace of God, you will NOT plead ignorance. You will NOT testify that you never knew any better because no one ever taught you anything better. You will not plead that you were never told.

George Felos? Shouldn't that be "George Felon"?

From The Empire Journal comes this news regarding George Felos, the felonious attorney who has been fighting in the courts so long to have Terri Schindler-Schiavo murdered:

"Schiavo Attorney Felos No Stranger To Medicare Fraud

Fraud in the court and fraud in the hospice.

Five years ago this month, Florida's most vulnerable adult was transferred without court order and without the proper written certification to the Hospice of Florida Suncoast at Woodside in Pinellas County.

According to records obtained by The Empire Journal , it appears that not only is there indication of a scripted plan for premeditated murder but insurance fraud in the Terri Schiavo case.

In March, 2000, Michael Schiavo and his attorney, George Felos, secretively relocated Terri Schindler-Schiavo from the Palm Gardens Nursing Home to the hospice without court order and without notifying her parents.

George Felos also conveniently forgot to give notice to the court and her parents, Mary and Robert Schindler Sr. that he was chairman of the board of directors at the Hospice at the time and had been since at least Jan. 31, 1997 and perhaps earlier.

George Felos also forgot to tell the court that at the time that Terri Schiavo was unlawfully entered into the Hospice of Florida Suncoast Inc. that the federal government was actively trying to recover nearly $15 million paid to the corporation in a fraudulent Medicare payments because patients certified as terminally ill were not in fact terminally ill and ineligible to be admitted to the Hospice under Medicare.

. . . According to the sequence of events in the Schiavo case, it appears that Felos and Michael Schiavo with the assistance of the courts have engaged in not only premeditated murder but perhaps a well-orchestrated and premeditated insurance fraud.

. . . Felos seemingly intentionally judge shopped to seek out Greer in Clearwater to file the death warrant petition.

At that time, under Florida Statutes, a feeding tube was not considered artificial life support. In April, 1999, House Bill 2131 was introduced in the Florida House by the Elder Affairs and Long Term Care Committee.

Gus Bilikaris was a member of that committee----and a member of the board of directors at Hospice of Florida Suncoast with Felos---and a campaign contributor to George W. Greer. On Oct. 1, 1999, the legal definition of life prolonging procedures was amended under Florida law to add 'including artificially provided sustenance and hydration which sustains, restores or supplants a spontaneous vital function.'

. . . Although money had been specifically earmarked by the court in the 1992 malpractice suit for Terri's rehabilitation, and despite Michael Schiavo having received well over $1 million, in 2002 he petitioned the court and Greer for permission to place Terri on Medicaid and permission was granted. "

[Emphasis mine.]

Read the whole thing. It is a tale of corruption and crime from beginning to end. Felos the felon, Greer the grafter and Michael Schiavo the swindler. All three are also guilty of nothing less than pre-meditated murder, and yet they remain free because of our corrupt system. All three belong behind bars. Is it any wonder that we increasingly have nothing but contempt for our courts?

If we sit back and let these vicious and corrupt criminals succeed in legalizing the murder of Terri Schiavo by nothing other than their fiat, we will be complicit in all of their crimes.
