First off, the lawyer says that there is approximately $60,000 left in her trust fund. Now admittedly that might not go very far, however, when you realize that these trust accounts are not just sitting there not being invested all that time, you're making a poor assumption. One of the guardian ad-litems that was appointed (and subsequently removed for his report) noted that there was roughly $750,000 still in the account in 1998. That's what the account started with. How to explain? It was accruing interest by being invested wisely. Once it hit 1998 and lawyers started hitting into it, the amount in there rapidly decreased. I think that this is another reason why an independent GAL or other counsel for Terri should be appointed.
Great Analysis! One wonders how one lawyer gets in excess of $500,000 of money for one case. Sounds like money was being transfered for other uses as well. Hopefully, a full criminal investigation is underway at this time. This is a case calling for Mark Fuhrman who brought Skakel to Justice!
