"The sly-est one wins."
And the one who files the right motion at the right moment on the right paper. Who knows the right people to get the right law passed so that the judge can rule on the right motion after the golf game. Who acts the best before the jury and knows the right procedure and knows how to dress well and has the right judge. Who is a good actor and has the best smile. Who has the best political contacts and heaviest clout. Who is the most adept at reading the situation as it develops, and can introduce this evidence but keep this piece over here as a trump if needed, or ignore it altogether if necessary.
Let's face it. Since Felos got just under $400K of Terri's rehab $$ and Greer didn't enforce the injustice of it, the law had nothing to do with this. The 'law' is through the looking glass.
Felos had 5 to 7 years to prepare for this case. He stepped down from the board at the hospice shortly before Terri entered. I would be willing to bet that the right-to-die crowd were just waiting for their Jane Roe to come around. When she showed up it was just a matter of time.
Looks like that doctor who got sued by Michael ought to turn around and sue the pants off Michael for not doing with the money as he was supposed to. After the book deal and movie-of-the-week, Michael should be rolling in dough.
