In 1992, Michael testified in court that he began studying nursing at St. Petersburg College around 1991. When asked why, he explained: "Because I enjoy it and I want to learn more how to take care of Terri.... I see myself hopefully finishing school and taking care of my wife. ... I want to bring my wife home. ... I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that."
