From Art Caplan:
Clearwater, FL (LifeNews.com) — The attorney who has served as the lead counsel for the last three years for Terri Schiavo’s parents stepped down this week. A new attorney who specializes in religious liberty cases will replace her as Bob and Mary Schindler focus on defending their daughter’s right to live by saying starving her would violate her religious beliefs. On Tuesday, longtime Schindler attorney Pat Anderson vacated her position in favor of Florida lawyer David Gibbs, who is a member of the board of directors of the Christian Law Association. Anderson said the change has nothing to do with a change in legal tactics or division between her and the Schindler family. Anderson told LifeNews.com that the Schindler family believes Gibbs will be more than capable in representing him. “Bob [Schindler] has great confidence in David, and I wish him the best in the coming battles,” Anderson said.
