'I am frankly floored that any judge allowed [the Tuohys] to use the conservatorship in this way,' one expert said.
The Tennessee family accused by retired NFL star Michael Oher of tricking him into a conservatorship responded to the allegations by claiming that Oher threatened to go public with his story if they did not pay him $15 million.In 2004, when Michael Oher was a coveted college football recruit, the 18-year-old high schooler agreed in court to allow the Memphis couple he lived with to make decisions for him about signing contracts and any medical issues.
The Tuohys said they loved Oher like a son and supported him when he lived with them and when he was in college. They are devastated by accusations by Oher, who has been estranged from them for about a decade, their lawyers say. "There was one thing to accomplish, and that was to make him part of the family, so that the NCAA would be satisfied because Sean would have been a booster of the university," Fishman said.
"At the end of the day, you do not put an adult in a conservatorship because they need help with a driver's license or college applications," Haneman said.
