Michael clearly hates Terri. HATES her. And hates her family.
Why else would he deny Terri fresh air, TV, radio music, walks outside in the sun, therapy, hope?
Why else would he even deny her parents her beaten dead body once this sham is over?
(I know.... it's rhetorical. Just had to vent.)
Couldn't have said it better myself---rant away, friend!
He wanted to break her will so that she would "die faster."
