I don't understand why a court didn't look at his motive to determine if he were following her best interests or just wanted her dead ASAP.
My understanding is that the Schindlers attempted, several times, to get the judge (Greer and others) to look at such things, but they were slapped down every time. So the HINO got away with a lot of things... all of which was allowed by JINO Greer, and possibly aided in other ways by other death-lovers.
Makes my head hurt, it does.
If she wasn't dead and the parents had her there were just way too many things they could have found out from examining her, even without her regaining her speech. I become more and more convinced those CAT scans we saw were faked or from another patient. She was probably only moderately disabled. Murder most foul. Redrum. Redrum. I'm sorry Mrs. Torrance, but Danny isn't here anymore.

He had found another wife and fathered 2 children.
He says, "Terri died in 1990"
He claims she was in PVS so he couldn't communicate with her.
He had dispute with her parents, not a good situation for anyone.
Reasons to stay married:
Husband could take out $millions in life insurance, viaticals, without Terri's signature.
Terri was eligible for Social Security Income.
Husband could claim her on income tax returns as a dependant.
He could limit all medical treatment and therapy for her recovery.
He could maintain legal and financial guardianship over Terri's affairs.
He could order her death.
