Yep. Problem is that MS has been offered more than the original insurance pay-off to just walk away and let the parents take custody. He won't. What's your theory on this rather odd behavior? And don't say "cause Terry said she wanted to die", there were plenty of opportunities in the first 7 YEARS for that argument.
Same reason that he gives them a hard time on cremation and where her remains will be interned, payback. The Schindlers have made his life a living hell since they couldnt get their grubby fingers on Terri's malpractice award. Nothing like calling the your wife's husband a murderer, being dragged into court time, and having kooks trespassing on your home and family to endear you.
I wouldn't pretend to know, first, if that is really a fact and second, if it is a fact, why.
I don't know Michael, and have no idea how his brain functions, but I will guarantee this. He wishes he had taken a different road.
I have made many errors in this trek through life, regretted them and would hope to never make them again, but none were anything compared to this compilation of blunders.
