To me, from this timeline of events it sure looks like Schiavo saw money and became the Enemy. Was he concerned about the windfall being drained by long term costly medical bills and figures to cut it short?
One persons opinion. Legal scholars I've seen on TV, and court opinions I've read, have shown that Micheal Schiavo has done everything within reason up to and including today. Jonathan Turley said yesterday on Special Report, the only thing that he saw that should have been done was Terri filing a Living Will. He said that he has been down this road with his father who passed away 2 weeks ago. They got everything down in writing. This, even to a layman like myself, is the biggest thing wrong with this case. We're all assuming everyone wants this or that, but without a written Will, that's all that can be done; fight, bicker, and assume.

A reading of the transcripts attached to your reference contains the judges remarks. Lot's of finger pointing on both sides.
