 General Description:

Mark Fuhrman

We all watched Terry Schiavo die. The controversy around her case dominated the headlines and talk shows, going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, the White House, and the Vatican. And it's not over yet. Despite her death, the controversy lingers. In Silent Witness, former LAPD detective and New York Times best-selling author Mark Fuhrman applies his highly respected investigative skills to examine the medical evidence, legal case files, and police records. With the complete cooperation Terri Schiavo's parents and siblings, as well as their medical and legal advisers, he conducts exclusive interviews with forensics experts and crucial witnesses, including friends, family members, and caregivers. Fuhrman’s findings answer many questions about the nature of Terri’s marriage, collapse, illness, and death, including—but going beyond—the legal and ehtical controversies that surrounded her plight.

The Untold Story of a Crime Against Humanity

"Who will speak for Terri Schiavo now?" With these words, noted detective-turned-author Mark Fuhrman leaves the travesty of last spring’s starvation case lingering. But is the question—or even his entire book examining Terri’s demise through the lens of criminal investigative concerns—even necessary? Hasn’t enough ink been spilt already about the disabled woman whose cremated remains are now resting near a mockingly phrased marker in a Clearwater, Florida, cemetery?

In a word, no. When America itself takes to committing crimes against humanity, a moral cataclysm of worldwide proportions has taken place. After all, we were the ones who provided the impetus and the lead prosecutors for the Nuremburg Trials. When the meaning of german shepherds and armed policemen standing guard as the emaciated and marginalized agonizingly wither away is lost even on us, how much examination will it take to capture the significance of this turn of events Full Review...
