How many people does Jeb need telling him he has legal authority before he believes it? The alternate view is that he KNOWS he has it and only says he's working with lawyers, pouring over the statutes to Cover His ***
In the future, Jeb will write an autobiography or memoirs and talk about how he "tried" to save Terri but that "nothing" could be done under the "circumstances." He will say that he went without sleep for nearly a week, but there was no solution. How many will buy that?
