We're ALL wondering about that one. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't force my mind around all those illogical legal manipulations, but can't Michael's testimony in the malpractice case be used against him, in a wrongful death case or something, to get that award money refunded to the doctors he sued or turned over to Terri's parents?
I agree that the award should have been far more restrictive. Let's hope lessons are learned for the future.
