Schiavo Parents Won't Fight Court Ruling
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Terri Schiavo's parents will not ask a federal appeals court to reconsider its decision that left their brain-damaged daughter without her feeding tube, leaving one of their last hopes with a state judge who has ruled against them before, one of their lawyers said Saturday.
A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta refused Friday night to order the reconnection of the tube, which was removed March 18 on a state judge's order.
The parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had planned to ask the full appeals court to review that ruling, but later decided against it, said Barbara Weller, one of their attorneys. She did not explain the decision.
