No, it's not a hoax. I've followed this case for nearly a year now. The judicial mishandling and inaction is bad enough; (Recently, a federal judge said he didn't have jurisdiction to hear an appeal on the constitutionality of removing her feeding tube.
) the circumstantial evidence against Michael Schiavo is simply horrifying. In the Court of Common Sense, he'd have been locked up and the key thrown away ten years ago. In the Court of Refined Legal Opinion, there apparently isn't even a case worth hearing.
