Schiavo book offers plots, few answers

Silent Witness hits the shelves after two months of research and writing. The author? Mark Fuhrman, former L.A. police detective.

The new book promises to answer some of the most tantalizing questions about the Terri Schiavo case: What was her marriage really like? What happened the morning she collapsed?

The 255-page hardback, Silent Witness, The Untold Story of Terri Schiavo's Death, made its national debut Tuesday. It was written by Mark Fuhrman, the former Los Angeles police detective turned bestselling author.

The book did not appear to generate much initial excitement in several Tampa Bay area bookstores, despite prominent displays.

"I think we've pretty much heard it all," said 58-year-old Eva Oliver of Seminole, who paused to look at the $25.95 book but decided against buying it at the Barnes & Noble on Tyrone Boulevard.

In the two months Fuhrman spent researching and writing the book, he says he had the full cooperation of Schiavo's parents and siblings. It is clear he shares their suspicion of Schiavo's husband, Michael.

Fuhrman stops short of accusing Michael Schiavo of harming his wife, but spends a great deal of time offering scenarios in which Michael Schiavo could have accidentally or intentionally contributed to his wife's collapse in 1990. He offers no proof of wrongdoing.
Mr. Fuhrman, you have zero credibility with me, and should have zero credibility with the rest of this nation. What went on with the O.J. Simpson case was total incompetence, and yet you've managed to elevate yourself to celebrity status. Why does anybody care what you have to say about the Shiavo case? Is this book journalism? It's certainly obvious that just by only talking with the Schindlers and Terri's siblings what this book would say. It's already been said in the newspapers. So I repeat, is this objective journalism? Not on your ass. Pumping this piece of shit out shows me just how badly you've fallen. It's no wonder that you took what had to be pretty close to a slam dunk case, and make a laughing stock out of yourself. This is a situation that nobody has a business sticking their nose in. Not that that hasn't stopped anybody, since as far as I'm concerned everybody that has tried to a) interfere with Michael Schiavo or b) cast absolutely unfound aspersions against Michael Schiavo really needs to actually think what happened through.

Just because you didn't get the result that you wanted doesn't make what happened wrong. In my book, fighting Michael Schiavo over this was wrong. He had by law all the authority that he needed to have. His live has gone under a microscope. This whole thing has gone through the courts, just like it should have been, before it got turned into a media spectacle. Your book only throws more kerosene on the flames that should be burnt out by now, but with "Jeb!" pulling his last minute tricks and this sloppy work, of course it's not going away.

I hope you enjoy rotting in hell.
