Since the person who had legal custody had the legal right to discontinue whatever means were keeping her alive (murder as you call it), he was in a position to do so.

I have three questions.

1. Do you bill your health insurance provider when you stop at McDonalds for a Big Mac, fries and a soda? If not, why not?

2. Do you really think a court should have regarded this person...

Michael Schiavo has been acting so weird he makes Hunter S. Thompson look like Joe Friday. If we believe his court testimony, the timeline goes like this: Some years prior to Terri’s collapse she told him that she would never want to “live on a machine” or be a burden. Yet in 1992, his lawyer told a jury Michael might need enough money to take care of her for another half-century. Michael proclaimed from the witness stand that he would become a nurse and take care of her “for the rest of [his] life.” By 1993, he had stopped rehabilitation (which was showing promising results), had put a “Do not resuscitate” order in her chart, tried to deny her antibiotic treatment for an infection, melted down her wedding ring and euthanized her cats. In other words, he ignored what she said about being a burden, then swore in court to take on the burden, but decided a few months later it was too much of a burden.

...as a fit guardian, especially after he was in a common law marriage with another woman while still married to Terri?

3. You've asked how much money we pro-lifers wil donate if you have "an episode" and end up in the hospital with a $1,000,000 bill. Well, if you have an episode and end up on a feeding tube, would you be willing to have Michael Schiavo make your medical decisions, or some other person who has exhibited the same behavior toward you that he exhibited toward his late wife?

Of course not, and neither should have Terry.

We both had a choice in the matter, she chose poorly.
