4) Is it true that Terri's money has paid for attorneys to make her dead, instead of therapists to make her better? The answer is, unquestionably, yes. According to court records, George Felos, the dutiful "right to die" attorney who sat at Schiavo's side on King's show, has been paid over $350,000 from Terri's trust fund. Another of Schiavo's attorneys, Debra Bushnell, has received about $90,000. These two lawyers alone have received more than half of Terri's entire trust.

Might this be considered obtaining money under false pretenses? Could somebody research case law and see if there are any precedents for litigation awards that were diverted for another purpose after settlement and what the disposition was? There has to be something out there similar to this. It smacks of fraud to me.

That didsey legally bling Judge Greer ruled it was OK to pay the attorney fees out of the trust fund.

Big audit needed here!

Does anyone know how a trust fund works? If invested properly, 1.2 million should have grown quite a bit over the years.
