I'm not a lawyer. But using the reasonable man theory, if a purported guardian/husband has gone to lengths to destroy his marriage such as Terri's husband has, living with and producing two children with antoher woman over a ten year period, isn't it reasonable to declare him "biased" as Terri's guardian. I would think any idiot judge in the world would consider her legal husband biased as hell and appoint the next legal guardians, her parents , as legal guardians. Maybe that's a legal stretch I don't know but it seems reasonable to me.

Seems reasonable to me too, but it's a judgment call, and he was upheld on appeal.

Is her husband a shit?
Probably.

Is Terri being railroaded?
Possibly.

Is that enough reason to trash a legal system that functions properly for thousands of similar cases every year and replace it with one doomed to cause many of those people years of legal misery?
NO
