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.

Hmmm, I heard the exact opposite concering this case. That the husband stands to gain nothing from his wife's death and that many doctors have ruled that her vegtable state is terminal and beyond recovery. I don't recall anything about this woman recieving or not recieving therapy, but I do recall that money the husband has been alledged to recieve upon her death has already been spent on her care.
