Problem with that is that Greer gave him the okay to spend money he was awarded for Terri's care to pay his attorneys, who then tried to have her put ~~down~~ to death. I don't know if Greer knew that is what the legal fees were going to go to though. It might have been that the approval was given for payment of legal fees based on costs incurred as a result of the initial lawsuit. I'm not sure when that ruling was given, so to give Greer the benefit of the doubt, it could be that he didn't know that Shiavo would use the ruling as an okay to hire ~~a contract killer~~ the euthanasiac death brigade to have her terminated.

I just wonder --- if the first court specified "medical care" then how does that get switched to "legal care" later by another court? Would the malpractice lawsuit been won if that court knew Michael never intended that his wife stay alive?

>>Problem with that is that Greer gave him the okay...

That's true, I very much doubt MS has anything to worry about on that score. Nobody's going to prosecute him for doing what a judge approved beforehand. Or even afterhand.

And about that possible insurance...if he's the beneficiary of a policy, nothing's likely to change that, as long as he pays the premiums. If he survives Terri he gets that money.

Then there's the award booty. That will probably turn out to be so depleted, and the remainder owed to Felos or the hospice, that it won't be a concern to MS.

Then there's the financial obligation. He can put his assets in his girlfriend's name, if he hasn't already done so.

Then there's the money he can make selling literary and other rights to the story. IF the new guardian sues on Terri's behalf, he gets less than all, but he gets something.

Looks to me like none of the above constitute major concerns for Michael.

That leaves one issue. If Terri gets a new guardian, all her medical records are open to inspection.

THAT is a problem for Michael Schiavo. That is what he's fighting so ferociously about. That's why he wants her dead and promptly cremated.
