Terri's Husband probably fears that they will take away his 1.7 Million dollar wrongful injury lawsuit now that he would rather have her dead.
I say take away the money and give it to her parents and end this fiasco.
I believe DCF is going to rescue her...and then the statutes will kick in to cement it.
I think her parents have already said that they're willing to let Michael keep the money, if he'll just divorce Terry so that they can have custody of her
I believe it's all about a power trip for Michael at this point; he won't release her because he believes he should be in charge of her life.
