Inspector Jeb Javert gives up
Posted by Jill | 7:05 AM

A Florida state attorney has decided that there is no more political mileage Jeb Bush is going to be permitted to attempt to gain from the corpse of Terri Schiavo:

A state attorney has found no evidence that Terri Schiavo's collapse 15 years ago involved criminal activity, and Gov. Jeb Bush on Thursday declared an end to Florida's involvement in the matter.

"Based on your conclusions, I will follow your recommendation that the inquiry by the state be closed," Mr. Bush said in a two-sentence letter to the prosecutor, Bernie McCabe of Pinellas and Pasco Counties.

In asking Mr. McCabe to look again into what had caused Ms. Schiavo's persistent vegetative state, the governor had cited what some saw as a gap between the time her husband, Michael, found her and the time he called 911.

But in a report dated June 30 and released Thursday, Mr. McCabe said that while such discrepancies might exist in the record, Mr. Schiavo's statements that he called 911 immediately had been consistent.

"This consistency, coupled with the varying recollections of the precise time offered by other interested parties, lead me to the conclusion that such discrepancies are not indicative of criminal activity and thus not material to any potential investigation," Mr. McCabe wrote Mr. Bush in a letter accompanying the report.


Terri Schiavo's parents, the Schindlers, having been shamefully exploited by opportunistic activists to the point that they still believe in the fantasies spun by the likes of Randall Terry, say the report appears "rushed."

Somehow I think that Michael Schiavo should not wait up for an apology from Jeb Bush, nor should he believe that the nutballs with whom his former in-laws have aligned themselves are going to stop hounding him lo unto the grave. Then, to paraphrase Barney Frank in the context of Bill Clinton, they'll dig him up and hound him some more.
