Wolfson seems to have been accused of assault on a woman collegue back in 1996.
I hasten to say that accusations and lawsuits of this nature are often frivolous, but this case seems to have progressed to the point where the woman accuser did get some $$$ reward from Wolfson's insurer, State Farm:
Jay Wolfson involved in "scholars' fracas" (alleged assault on a woman)

In many cases, yes. But Terri worked for Prudential Insurance

Terri adjusted well to St. Petersburg and the nearby beach, her father said. She worked as a clerk at Prudential Insurance while Schiavo worked at various restaurant jobs. She enjoyed the sun, dyed her hair blond and rejoiced at wearing bikinis.
You think there's any chance the new wife will lose patience, dump the bum, and sue his a$$ off for child support?
Under federal law, the agency is granted strong investigative powers, including examining medical and court-sealed guardian financial records, and its findings of abuse or neglect would be conclusive and pre-emptive of any court or other agency determination, said Patricia Anderson, an attorney for Terri Schiavo's parents.
---snip----
"They are referred to as the `big sharks' in the disability field," Anderson said of the agency. "What we have here is a guardianship system that discriminates against disabled people."
Richard LaBelle, an attorney and agency board member who is involved in the investigation, said this week's events will aid the investigation.
"I think to the extent that Terri is still alive and will be receiving food and water - we think that's a positive development," he said.
LaBelle said he did not know how long the probe would take, saying it depended on how much cooperation the agency receives in obtaining Schiavo's medical records and access to individuals on both sides of the court fight.

Sounds like this groups has powers that transcend Judge Voldemort...although why they didn't step in earlier is still a mystery. Perhaps the public outcry and publicity didn't reach a fever pitch until the past few days.
She'll wait till he gets the ca$h from Terri (probate for the inheritance, her life insurance policy pays out) before doing that. Then out the door quicker than a rocket.
Potassium "imbalances" can occur a lot of ways...they can be induced by administering potassium (KCl?) or during a struggle (the cause of some heart attacks during restraint by law enforcement or institutional caretakers). True, the doctors may not have run a blood test for potassium, when Terri was their patient.
I think it's odd that the malpractice suit was pursued after it was accidentally discovered that Terri's bones seemed to have been broken some time in the past. She did not have a bone scan until it was obvious she was having pain during physical rehabilitation.
It is alleged that Terri told people her marriage was unhappy and co-workers told her not to go home that night. (Allegations from the family are not acceptable to Judge Greer...who willingly accepts Mike's family's allegation that Terri did not want tubes)
Michael delayed calling 911, when he first saw Terri had "collapsed"--he called Terri's brother who insisted on calling 911.
I agree that Felos needs to receive the bashing. He's obviously a liar, as we can see by reading his book. Here's an example of the type of guy Felos is....
First, Felos stated publicly that Terri would not suffer during her starvation, because she wasn't "there." Then he stated publicly that she would suffer while being hydrated.
Judge Greer doesn't seem to mind working with the two-faced lawyer.
I think you're right.
"If you look at a brain scan of Terri, where her cerebral cortex used to be is a black hole filled with spinal fluid," he said. "There is simply no hope of recovery for Terri."
No, Mr. Felon...I mean Felos -- that's your brain scan. < sarcasm ? >

They just won't stop lying, will they? And what's this about a life insurance policy?
Unbelievable. I sure hope things are moving behind the scenes because this is friggin' UNBELIEVABLE!!
