Heard about this in depth on George Noory's show, Coast to Coast. His guest that night was Wesley Smith who is the author of the book "Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope from Assisted Suicide to Legalized Murder." He was talking about this specific case. He basically accused the husband of trying to have his wife killed in order for him to collect the millon dollars that was set aside for her therapy and care. Apparently the woman never recieved the therapy. He put her in hospice and waited for her to die. He also implied that there might have been foul play in connection with her brain damage.

The husband has also been living with another woman, who had his baby a few years back and is expecting another one.

What the court need to do is provide the therapy for six months to a year and see if there is any improvement. If not, then let her die. If there is an improvement, then continue the treatment until she gets enough facilties about her to make her on desicion.

I'm not totally certain why the husband just doesn't divorce her and walk away. It sounds like he is already carrying on with his life.
Don't forget that these are allegations. In twelve years, he has yet to be charged with a crime, let alone be convicted. The govenor showed very poor form here. And her parents need to get on with their lives as well. Now there may be reasons he just doesn't divorce her, but so what. Her parents are being just as selfish and petty as the guy is. Either way, it is very doubtful this woman will ever wake up, time to let the grieving being and let this whole case be put to rest.

In anycase, this is a matter for the courts, NOT the executive. Bad Bush! Bad!
