I am not sure I would want to go on living in Terri's state, and I would trust my husband implicitly to make that decision for me. However there is something very chilling about this man and his demeanor. He seems to radiate selfishness and evil. Maybe it's unfair to judge a person in this manner, but right or wrong I think his sociopathic-seeming personality is a big part of the family's, and later the public's, hesitation to entrust him with the decision.
His story about the family and the money simply doesn't ring true either.
As the old saying goes;"There's two sides to every story." It is sad that it all came to a head over money. Hell I don't know who is telling the truth. I do remember though that Sean Hannity offered Michael a million dollars to give up custody, and Michael refused. So that might give Michael some brownie points in that argument.
