Overall, just 4 things stick out at me in this case.

1. MS sought and Terri was awarded money for rehabilitation. Soon after that, he switched gears and remembered her "wishes" against living in her condition, and proceeded to seek her demise despite no living will. He does NOT dispute this set of facts.
2. Terri did not receive therapy for some 10 years, but was subjected to neglect. MS does not dispute this fact, that she received no therapy.
3. MS used some (a lot) of Terri's medical funds to pay a lawyer to seek her death. He doesn't dispute that either.
And the Schindlers do not have the same access to that money to pay attorneys, so they don't have as effective representation, and neither does Terri---and that's obvious.
4. Terri has no legal guardian ad litem to safeguard her rights and interests against possible abuses by her legal guardian husband. He doesn't dispute that fact.

All the rest of it is talk, speculation, sentiment, open to dispute. We won't get any traction, or we won't get enough, on anything but the obvious and undisputed facts.
Those of us who wish to, and can, have any effect on the legal process should concentrate on alerting the world to the obvious, undisputed facts. Those who can't---by all means pray and go on crying in outrage, but know that the law is deaf as well as blind, and today the law is supreme.

Another important point we must continue to raise---

Terri is NOT dying. Right-to-die, living wills issues, do not pertain here. Whenever anyone brings it up, remind them Terri is not dying.

I sent the 'facts; you noted in your post to larry king. Hope you don't mind. Just requested that he verify them thru Michael, the monster.
