I'll never understand why Michael didn't hand over control of his ex-wife's affairs to Terri's parents...there's simply no way to justify that aspect of this MURDER!!

Possibly because had he done that he would have been exposed as the one that caused her collapse in the first place.

I did wonder though if President Bush could have at the 11th hour issued an Executive Order overturning everything and giving her guardianship to her parents - and that he was just waiting till every effort had been exhausted legally first. Of course, the poor soul did not have the time to keep on living till all efforts had been exhausted. I don't understand how President Clinton could have pardoned criminals at the last moment of his Presidency and that President Bush's hands were tied in this case - and I don't understand how the two consenting branches of government cannot hold the third branch in contempt - I guess there is a lot about the law of the land that is a mystery to me.

I heard I think it was Scott Schiavo talking with Greta Van Sustern the other night and she was mentioning about the money and he said there was some life indurance but the settlement money was all but gone. If there was a big life insurance payout then that would explain why he held onto guardianship and did not divorce her. Any abuse that would have been found would have been beyond the statute of limitations. He was controlling of her before her "accident" and he never wanted to give up control. What I can't figure out is what kind of life insurance company would pay on someone who had died from forced starvation??

This has been a sad day for the Schindlers and for our country, we still have lots of reasons to pray.
