quote:Oher admits he signed the conservatorship himself. He is alleging that he didn’t know what he was signing. Which if the Tuoys come back and say “yes he did. He wanted us to handle any business dealings so he could focus on school and football” then he has no case.
It sounds like Oher's attorney has already verified everything.
The thing that’s not on his side is this is starting 20 years after the events and 14 years after the movie came out. I’m not saying this is what it is, but it smells like a cash grab.
ETA: the Tuoys are shady. Don’t get me wrong. But Michael is high if he thinks he has a case when he has admitted multiple times he signed the document and it was explained to him what it was. And now he’s back tracking

This part was interesting to me.
quote:
But Oher's agent, who would receive movie contract and payment notices, is listed as Debra Branan, a close family friend of the Tuohys and the same lawyer who filed the 2004 conservatorship petition, the petition alleges. Branan did not return a call to her law office on Monday.

He also admits that they said it was the same thing as adoption.
Is it? frick no.

So does the conservatorship. That smells like a cash grab as well. And that is the reason to look at legal options to right a wrong (not perceived wrong... but a wrong).

He was entering his senior year of high school.
And he was handed a paper by a family acting like he was part of their family.
He isn't backtracking. He is shedding light on an occurrence in his youth.
Karma is a bitch. An even bigger one than Leih Anne Tuohy.

Well, having a homeless kid sign documents in his developmental years is probably a bad idea.
Still did the tuohy’s actually make that much money from the movie? I just assumed they made much more from the fame and notoriety afterwards but not exactly much from the movie and ticket sales itself

Yeah it smells like the Touhy's grabbed all the cash from the movie. What did the two Touhy kids do to earn $225,000 plus 2.5% of the films net proceeds. The Touhy's could have easily included Oher in the deal using the conservatorship.
Oher was like family right?
