Well .. since it was in trust for Terri's care - I don't think he could have (without Greer's help) - unless of course the parents would have let him keep it if he gave them Terri.
Also .. remember the husband was offered $1 mil to walk away and included a divorce. Because he wouldn't walk away - it's always been my assumption there was some other reason he wanted to get rid of her. Until proven otherwise, I will always believe he tried to kill her and he denied rehab for her because he was afraid she could learn to talk and would tell the world what he had done to her. Just a guess.
You're not the only person to think this way.
Terri wouldn't need to be talking. She would only have to point at the scum and start screaming and crying. Matter of fact this prolly has already happened a few times and spooked Mikey
By this time there was a court order that she be denied nourishment.
How was he going to get that court order reversed without incriminating himself in some way? Suddenly remember something?
That's probably why he couldn't take the money and run. He was already in too deep. There will be money for him either way.
And he had the American people behind him, don't forget. A few days ago anyway. The American public is known to be fickle though.
