Gov. Bush wants Schiavo 911 investigation
How long did it take her husband to call after 1990 collapse?

Updated: 11:39 a.m. ET June 17, 2005TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush asked a prosecutor Friday to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, calling into question how long it took her husband to call 911 after he found her.
In a letter faxed to Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, Bush said Michael Schiavo testified in a 1992 medical malpractice trial that he found his wife collapsed at 5 a.m., and he said in a 2003 television interview that he found her about 4:30 a.m. He called 911 at 5:40 a.m.
“Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was made, and I am aware of no explanation for the delay,” Bush wrote. “In light of this new information, I urge you to take a fresh look at this case without any preconceptions as to the outcome.”
Michael Schiavo’s attorney, George Felos, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment Friday from The Associated Press. In comments in The Miami Herald, he said Terri Schiavo would not have survived if her husband had not immediately called 911.
“It’s absolutely preposterous,” Felos said. “If he had waited 70 minutes she would have been dead.”
------it goes on from there but my question has to be WHY???? I mean I can't think of a precedent where a governor interfered, intervened, whatever you choose to call it, in a case like this one. Now it appears since this govenor was thwarted in his interference before he's carrying it on?
I would be a bit more articulate but I am a mite pissed over this one. Can you sue a state govenor for harassment?
