"Michael is the guardian according to the letter of the law."
No he isn't. He breached contract about 8 years ago. He has kids that are younger than her problem. (hint, from another woman he is living with)
The letter of the law is that in fact he has NO bearing on her. The letter of the media states otherwise.
Either way, an innocent, nonterminal woman is going to die because of of twisted reasoning in the courts at odds with simple justice that even a child could see. (Simple justice: life for the innocent, punishment for the guilty).
