Isn't it interesting that in the malpractice suit, they already thought that Terri could live for 51 years? And once the money is awarded, she's not worth allowing those same 51 years? Sick, sick, sick!
His lawyers asked for $12 million for Terri's treatment and care, on the presumption that she would live another 51 years, and $4 million to compensate Michael for the loss of his wife. The jury found the doctor only partially responsible. In the end, the trial and the settlement netted Terri about $700,000 and Michael $300,000.
Also, I've seen another amount of $somewhere along the line of $7-9 million, but I don't remember where that came from.

I hadn't read about the 51 years before.

(Is Terri suffering from severe depression, on top of the insult to her brain?)
