The Judge ruled Terri was PSV and Michael was legal guardian. All subsequent cases were based on whether Michael Shiavo was legal guardian and of course he was. But they couldn't appeal the PVS ruling so they went after the guardian one. That's where the problem was, once the judge ruled she was PSV nothing could be done. Congress wanted the Judge to reevaluate the case ignoring the PVS ruling based on new evidence but he refused. Technically he was allowed to, but that's were the rules need to be fixed. By one Judge deciding she was PVS, the day after a few donations, there's nothing the entire country could do about it.
