Repeat: Not one dime of the malpractice award designated specifically for rehabilitation to improve Terri's functioning was spent for that intended purpose.

Schiavo never, ever mentioned Terri's desire to die before he had $1.3 million reasons. He testified (pleaded) during the malpractice trial for money to care for her.

13 years and he didn't spend any out of pocket expenses directly or indirectly?? Not likely... It's a nice hunk of money, I agree, but how much is the loss of a spouse worth? What was her potential income to the family? You can't argue the money with me. He deserves quite a bit of it.
