Sure. I can see where they would ask him about the $700,000 trust fund and how it was going to be used.
But that does NOT explain why they would demand half of his $400,000 loss of consortium award for their own personal use. Why did they do that?
"But it is clear that the Shindlers wanted Micheal to spend Terri's money on Terri"
He did. For fifteen friggin' years he spent Terri's money on Terri. Who do you think was paying the bills, for crying out loud?
Yes, he discontinued therapy in 1993 because it wasn't working. Why should he waste this precious "Terri" money on therapy that wasn't working?
(If Felos' daughter had the contract to provide the physical therapy that wasn't working, you'd be screaming to high heaven that Michael was paying off his friends and would have demanded that he discontinue therapy immediately. I can just hear you.)
And if her parents weren't constantly hauling him off to court for every little reason (they never once prevailed), there would have been even more in the trust fund.
She was admitted to the hospice as an indentured patient. Medicaid has been paying her bills. Meanwhile he drives expensive cars and has spent most of the money on lawyers.
I don't know if they did that or they did not do that. Where is this documented as fact? Or did you get this from the Larry King Live show?
Oh yes much better use could be made of the money by spending it on himself to buy fancy new cars and other things. Maybe this will answer it plain enough - CAUSE THAT WAS WHAT THE MONEY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR.
So what is the net gain for Terri to have more in her trust fund when she is 6 feet under? I don't get your logic there.
