(2005-03-22) -- Just minutes after a federal judge denied a request to provide a starving, dehydrating Florida woman with food and water, Terri Schiavo's parents offered to trade their 41-year-old daughter for convicted double-murderer Scott Peterson.
"What we're offering to the state of California is an even-up trade," said Bob Schindler, Mrs. Schiavo's father. "Scott Peterson, who murdered his wife and son, gets to come to this nursing home where he'll die in a week or two. Our daughter goes to death row in San Quentin, where she'll likely live a long life as Peterson's case is appealed."
The Schindlers' desperation offer calls for the names on all legal documents to be exchanged so that Mrs. Schiavo will be treated under law as if she had committed Mr. Peterson's crimes, and he will be treated as a healthy, but brain-damaged woman whose estranged husband controls her future.
George Felos, the attorney for Mrs. Schiavo's husband, Michael, immediately rejected the Schindler's offer with a single word: "Nuts."

Actually, on Dennis Miller's CNBC show last night, he interviewed a lawyer whose client put a million dollars (U.S.) in escrow -- and is offering to give the entire amount to Michael Schiavo if he will turn over responsibility for Terri to her parents immediately.

They're not nuts, they're just trying to use a creative object lesson to get through to people--i.e., an innocent (Terri Schiavo) is being put to death by law-breaking abusers (Michael Schiavo and his accomplises Felos and Greer). On the other hand, a convicted murderer (Scott Peterson) is having a good ol' time, by comparison. And if their situations were reversed, no doubt everyone would be clamoring for Scott Peterson's rights, even knowing that he murdered his wife and child. Now that's nuts.

Add child molester/killer John Evander Couey too! A 2 for 1 trade to save Terri "Schindler". We should stop using the money-grubbing husbands last name on her.
