The prosecutor Jeb Bush assigned to the task of further tormenting Michael Schiavo has politely told the Governor to stuff it.

The AP reports:

In asking McCabe to look again into how Schiavo slipped into a persistent vegetative state, Bush had cited an alleged gap between when Schiavo’s husband Michael found her and when he called 911. The governor had said the issue remained unsettled.

McCabe said, however, that while such discrepancies may exist in the record, Schiavo’s statements that he called 911 immediately had been consistent.

“This consistency, coupled with the varying recollections of the precise time offered by other interested parties, lead me to the conclusion that such discrepancies are not indicative of criminal activity,” McCabe wrote in a letter to Bush accompanying his report.

And Bush has finally given up.

“Based on your conclusions, I will follow your recommendation that the inquiry by the state be closed,” Bush said in a two-sentence letter.

No doubt Jeb’s letter of apology to the innocent man he and his allies have so basely traduced for political gain will follow under separate cover.
