Pete Vere posts an interesting theory on the Terri Schindler-Schiavo murder: that the money isn’t really the issue and that Michael Schindler may have even more nefarious reasons for wanting his wife to die.

Then I’d propose a deal be struck where (1) Terri’s family, on her behalf, waives any right to bring a civil suit against Michael for anything that happened prior to the date of the release, whether known or unknown to them at the time of the release and (2) the state Attorney General gives immunity to Michael for any crime committed against Terri prior to the date of the release in exchange for Michael (a) consenting to resuming both palliative and rehabilitative care and (b) consenting to the divorce.

There would probably have to be some other splashier public concessions made to Michael so it didn’t look like he is just trying to escape the legal consequences of some past acts, but it could be a strategy worth pursuing.
