No insurance company would pay it at this point. This case is too well known and too many people have questioned Michael's motives and involvement in her initial collapse.

depending upon how the policy is written they'd probably have no choice ... unless he pushes her out the window of the hospital, which he is effectively trying to do, there's nothing to stop them ... and, of course, life insurance isn't stopped at that point either ... however, in criminal cases I think they can block the payment and the money goes elsewhere(?) ... law experts, please comment ...

At least this article contains more info about the money involved than others I've seen.

And also some good quotes by Terri's father.

But what if it is under Jodi's name and not his?

I suspect they would have to pay. It is 12 years after the collapse and no charges against the husband have ever been filed. He won a malpractice case which said the cause of her collapse was a chemical imbalance. What would be their legal ground for non-payment?

Almost everyone on this thread has been knocking him down, but there has been a legal decision that the cause of her collapse was medical malpractice and not any kind of criminal activity on his part. I strongly suspect that if there had been even the slightest suspicion against him at the time of the suit, the insurance company for the Dr. involved would have hammered away on that.
