Could MS and his girlfriend be married by common law? Maybe he's a bigamist in addition to being a SOB...
Flordia doesn not recognize common-law marriages. Thus, he is merely an adulterer. Someone posted that he could be charged on abuse and morals grounds. In ancy case, considering that he is in a frenzy to have her die, he should not have control over her.
Michael has repeatedly demonstrated that he means her harm. Why else keep her parents from visiting, prevent last rites, etc.?
