Pearse was mentioned tonight but all I caught was Michael's chuckle & a shake of his head to Felos' reply. Have to go back & review my tape.
There's a possibility that Michael told the truth in the malpractice trial (don't everybody flame me at once), that he wanted to care for her. At the time, he could have held hope that she could be helped.
I don't know, just don't know. Except that Felos went for her money. Of that, I'm pretty sure.
Felos saw DOLLAR SIGNS and opportunity to set a precedent(IMO).
Michael may have let himself be led on by Felos, especially with his extramarital concerns constantly weighing his mind, and his religious convictions not allowing him an out. God will be his judge. The rest of us need to walk in his shoes first before attempting to judge.
