I'm glad that you have been able to find some other things on your own. I haven't had the time to continue looking further.

For me, I guess the sticking point is that Michael told the malpractice jury that he wanted to take care of Terri for the rest of her life, which was estimated to be another 20 years. He never mentioned anything about this supposed desire of Terri's to be free of tubes and such. He professed to believe in his marriage vows, for better or worse. That would be honorable for a man to do so. However, it would be exceedingly deceitful to put on a show for a jury in such a way. It would constitute fraud, IMHO.

That Michael would refuse to take Terri to Shands to get the treatment that was recommended, particularly after convincing the jury of his devotion to Terri, indicates to me that he was not really interested in pursuing the recommended rehab for her condition. Nothing had changed, except that a trust fund was now established. Within 8 months of the trial, Michael issued a DNR order to be placed on Terri's chart. He refused to have Terri treated with antibiotics for a UTI. Did Michael have a personality change? What happened to the guy who said he wanted to take care of Terri for the rest of her life?
