But it doesn't matter whether Michael is lying, unless Terri had specifically stated that she wanted to be kept alive in such a situation.
Michael is the guardian, and he gets to make decisions for her and we know which decision he's made. The ONLY way to defeat his wishes is to remove him as guardian. And that's the weakest part of his case and why he's fought that the hardest.
Michael is the presumptive guardian. He is her husband and that trumps parental rights in every state. In order to remove him as guardian, it's probably going to take a showing that he's incompetent, something that seems impossible under the current facts.
The folks who believe that he broke a lot of her bones before this incident could remove that guardianship if they could prove it, but that's an impossible task.
In my opinion, Michael holds the winning cards in the legal battle. Hopefully something new will transpire to change those legal odds.

One major problem has been that the only people with full access to Terri's medical records have been the ones who wanted her dead. But IIRC Felos et al. just did a "document dump" on the Schindler's lawyer, probably figuring there'd be no way he'd sort through boxes of unsorted papers in time to make any difference. I think he got too cocky.
