| Friend: Terri Often Had Bruises |
| Saturday, March 26, 2005 |
A close friend of Terri Schiavo's said that she often appeared bruised in the months before she was found unconscious in her St. Petersburg, Florida home on Feb. 25, 1990.
"I did notice bruises on her upper arms and upper legs," Jackie Rhodes told Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren. Rhodes and Schiavo worked together at a local insurance office.
At the time, Rhodes said, she attributed Terri's frequent bruising "to maybe running into the desk at work or, you know, maybe she was extra-sensitive."
"But now, hindsight tells me that I did see them quite frequently and that they may have been more than just a bump into the desk," she added.
"They were mostly bruises where normally they would be covered up, you know, during the work day," she explained. "They were smaller bruises, like maybe someone had grabbed her or, you know, like, squeezed her arm or leg really tight."
On Friday Rhodes revealed that Terri and her husband had an ugly argument that night before she was was discovered unconscious on her bathroom floor, and had called her in tears to report the fight.
Rhodes said Terri and Micheal had already discussed getting a divorce.
