In an earlier chapter in this saga Liz(?) pointed out that Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr were never put into conservatorships.

Absolutely, for sure. That hug probably helped a bit. When my brother passed, from AIDS complicated pneumonia, my parents were of course devastated. Fortunately, a network of friends descended on the house and comforted them.

I used to to do T&E work with Bessemer. It is a very white shoe, family controlled outfit. I can't imagine they wanted any part of this hot mess, once they got a good look. It was jus some new business guy's wet dream (about the fees)

A couple of decades ago Florida passed a whole new guardianship chapter to deal with this kind of abuse. It's pretty protective of potential victims. I remember it going through the Section.

That was super catholic parents vs. husband. Jeb Bush (C) felt compelled to weigh in. When she was finally allowed to die, they found her brain had atrophied to some small fraction of what it had been.

A lot of people weighed in. Mostly repubs. I recall one of them, a senator or something and a former doctor, analyzing her mental clarity from watching her on tv.
