In a previous Hyscience post, Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H.,
Psychiatrist and expert medical witness, and the author of the book,
Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them
and When to Leave Them, was quoted as saying,
"I have studied men who exhibit pathology in their
relationships with women. Profiles of the twelve different
types of bad boys are explained. Michael Schiavo fits the profile,
described in the book as the Prince of Darkness (see chapter 13).
O.J. Simpson was cited as a classic example of this type,
and there are indeed similarities between the two men.
It is especially significant to note that O.J. flew into
a homicidal rage when he realized that Nicole was totally
abandoning him, as is characteristic of these impulsive men who
most dread being abandoned by their woman.
Similarly, Michael Schiavo
was likely to have known that Terri had begun making plans to divorce him,
since she had told a coworker and family member. Stalking is
characteristic of this type of man, as well. And a girlfriend
of Michaels, Cindy, accused him of stalking her in 2001."
This is the story of "Cindy," and the deposition that she had
to be forced to give, out of her fear of Michael Schiavo.
Terri was also afraid of Michael, but of course Michael
has been hard at work to make sure that she can't give a
deposition as Cindy has!
In late 1991, 1½ years after Terris collapse, Michael Schiavo
became involved in an intimate relationship with Cindy Shook.
The romance continued for approximately one year. It can be
documented that the two spent a weekend at the Don Caesar hotel
in St. Petersburg Beach and
they also contacted a Century 21
Realtor on the premise of purchasing a home.
In May of 1992, at the apex of the romance, Schiavo
had Terris 2 pet cats euthanized to clear the way
for his moving in with Cindy and her pet dog.
In the summer of 1992, Schiavo moved into his parents home.
We can speculate with reasonable accuracy, it was
at the instructions of his attorney, since the
living arrangement would be contrary to Schiavos
"loving husband" image they were projecting for the
upcoming November 1992 malpractice trial.
In April 2001, Cindy Shook (married name Brasher)
was interviewed by an investigator working in Terris behalf.
Unwilling to come forward because of her immense fear of Schiavo,
Cindy had to be subpoenaed and was then subsequently deposed
on May 8, 2001 to try and learn more regarding her intimate
knowledge of Michael Schiavos character traits.
Excerpts; May 8, 2001 Deposition:
Cindy Shook describing Schiavos possessiveness.
"hes very jealous. He stalked me at my
at where I worked after
I stopped dating
when he would get mad at me he would tell me,
I would rather be laying in bed in the nursing home
with her than with you. I mean he can be the most
incredibly mean person"
When asked if she were afraid that Michael would physically harm her
or if he would harm children.
"I am concerned about retaliation because I have a child -
I have children and a husband. I know him, I know what he
told me I said he could be a very mean person."
She spoke of how Schiavo stalked her for close to
a year after the breakup and that she received repeated phone calls.
"He came on the floor looking for me several times. I felt it was out
of character for him to get a job as an orderly at the hospital.
That was concerning to me. When he would come up to the
floor looking for her she was not scared the first time
but later was scared.
In town I would look up when I was driving
not at my work-
she would look up in the rear view mirror and there would
be Michael Schiavo. I would look up and he would be behind me in traffic.
It continued for several months after he didnt work
at the hospital. She would change lanes, try to make a
turn and he would do the same. He did this about ten times.
One time he was behind me in traffic he got next to me in
a two-lane going the same way, and he changed lanes basically
right on top of where I was at, and I had to swerve not to be hit.
I had to swerve off the road. Michael ran me off the road. I
considered it as stalking, dangerous and guessed potentially
life threatening."
Cindy thought about getting a restraining order. She talked
to an off duty police officer in her building
They discussed marriage. She said Schiavo asked what
would you do if I asked you to marry me. He never
discussed getting a divorce.
Cindy said Schiavo got angry when asked questions about Terri
saying:
"this had destroyed his life and he was being robbed of a normal life."
Regarding Terris care, according to Cindy Shook, Michael Schiavo said,
"How the hell should I know we never spoke about this, my God I was only
25 years old. How the hell should I know?
We were young.
We never spoke of this."
THEY NEVER SPOKE OF THIS! Yet now Michael claims that Terri's
wish was to die of starvation and dehydration, and the
infamous Judge George Greer rubber stamps it. Why?
