Two or three more weeks.

[rhombus]

Won't matter, don't look for any smoking guns. Everybody will dispute any findings and nothing will be conclusive.

[theDentist]

People seem to believe autopsies are convenient, efficient, and done in an hour (thanks to CSI). Hell, a DNA test is a 15 second test, isn't it?

[Brilliant]

they won't rush the findings because they need time to write them so as to please everyone.

[Tungenchek]

Two or three more weeks.

More time for the conspiracy wonks...

[dennisw]

Autopsies don't take this long. I wonder why the delay, and this clown isn't going to tell. Oh, he's a "fiercely independent" Texan. LOL

Skip the cheap drama and release the autopsy tomorrow, which I'm sure will clear the death cultists anyway.

[joesbucks]

Let me be the first to conclude that the losing entity will say the fix was in.

Should be enough time to get out a quicky book and make appearances on the talking heads shows and conservative christian radio..

How can an autopsy conceivably take more than 7 days to perform and write up? This is a puff piece done by a human interest story reporterette.

[verity]

You hit the bullseye.

[Tungenchek]

exactly...

As someone else here on FR put it: "they need to get the 'th' exactly right".

"How can an autopsy conceivably take more than 7 days to perform and write up?"

The purpose of an autopsy is to determine cause of death.

Examining her brain how would you determine what part of it died 15 years ago? What part of it died in the intervening 15 years? What part of it died this year?

[Tigen]

"It is routine in cases of "criminal" importance to not allow any biased pathology advocates in the morgue,"

This seems telling to me.

[MEGoody]

What does it matter what the autopsy shows? Terri is dead, and Michael can just say "well, the court appointed doctor. . ."

[I still care]

He didn't have anyone check his results and within a day released the body for cremation (vis Judge Greer's order).

He could be the most thorough and honest ME in the world. (And I have my doubts about anyone from Pinellas) He's still in trouble with this one.

[EternalVigilance]

The whole world knows the cause of death: Lack of hydration.

[chuckles]

All I'm waiting for is independent conformation of the broken bones. We all know about the brain damage and will dispute whether or not it was PVS. If she could acknowledge people in the room it wasn't PVS. The broken bones and how they came to be should be at the front of the investigation. Mark Furhman should get to the bottom of that.
