""Just $40,000 to $50,000 remains of the money won in the malpractice case after Terri Schiavo's heart stopped in 1990 and left her in what court-appointed doctors say is a persistent vegetative state. Deborah Bushnell, one of Michael Schiavo's attorneys, said the money is being saved for litigation expenses. "
....
"Terri Schiavo's medical costs -- which Bushnell says are relatively small -- have been paid for the past couple of years by the state's Medicaid program for needy people. "
1) By your own link, the 700,000 dollars you claim was motivating Mr. Schivo is depleted. (you don't expect me to entertain without humor that Mr. Schiavo is doing this for 50,000?)
2) The expenses are being paid by medicare, again by your own link.
What is the point, you don't have a anything. Why come back?
from:
"Although she did not have a specific accounting, Bushnell said more than half of the $700,000 earmarked from the malpractice award for Terri Schiavo's care was spent for that purpose, with the rest going toward litigation."
you arrive at this somehow:
"So, it seems that around half of the 700,000 of Terri's money is earmarked for legal costs of attempting to get her killed In other words it could read that if the lawyers manage to finally kill her, they will be paid the remaining amount"
Have you ever heard the expression 'grasping at straws'? DO YOU NOTICE THE PAST TENSE?? THE WORD 'SPENT'!!?
Your link clearly says that only 40-50k is left. your entire argument is predicated on a selective and impossible reading of the passage.
"money intended to pay for her care.
"
The money was NOT intended to solely pay for her care. If it were, MS would be in contempt of court and a case could easily be made and won. This is part of the libelous spin machine.
"Notice the spin at Slate:
"
You have GOT to be kidding me. You are spinning at the speed of light.
"Now, for what R.L. said:
"
You really are reading incapable, aren't you?
""2) TS has been offered large sums of money to walk away and sign away guardianship of TS. He has refused."
Got a link for this?
But who knows what this might mean.
"
Dense!
1) I gave you a link.
2) Read the link, the affadavitt is clear and unambiguous.
But then again, you actually read "40-50k left" and arrive at "most of the 700,000 is still available"
"Offered by whom? When? How much?"
READ, half-baked. Not that it will do any good for you. READ!
