Since it was agreed he was her guaridian by the courts, I believe that he could have prevented them from EVER seeing her. Instead he allowed visits. The parents allowed him to be be called a murderer, etc. After all he went through maybe he wanted to be with her the last few minutes of her life. I don't think I heard very much from the husband (mostly I think a brother of his) when it would have been easy to lower himself to others level.

I have heard the parents have a web site for donations and we all know that they released video tape of her in a vegatative state - Need we say anything else about her parents?

Not sure if that says anything bad about the parents. I'm sure they're not loaded and this case will influence future cases so others have interest. Pictures in a veg state? Should they hide her? She is who she is, I have no problem with that.
I just can relate to the parents more than the husband. once he shacked up with another woman, he gave away his rights as her guardian. You cannot be in love and have children with another woman and have an unbiased opinion of your wife. That is purely my opinion, not the courts and I respect that.

Terri died a long time ago imo. There are no winners and no villans here, but I believe something very positive game out of all of this. Get a health proxy and/or living will. If my parents were trying to keep me alive in such a state, I'd come back to haunt them.

How come its o.k. to withhold food and water from that poor woman, but there would be screams from all over the world if we did the same to some scum bag terrorist?

Apparently the husband was awarded $1 million in a malpractice lawsuit re: Terry's condition. Also, hubby got a life insurance payout ($150K?).

Terry's parents are a little irked that they haven't seen one red cent of that money.
