This case was not a criminal case. This was a civil case, so the 'reasonable doubt' standard of evidence does not apply.

HELLO! It was a death case.

So what's the opinion about this? What a way to devastate the cocky "I'm most certain she is PVS" bs. Everyone knows the saying MONEY TALKS, BS WALKS.

W"To prove my point I am offering $100,000 on a $25,000 wager for ANY neurologist (and $125,000 for any neurologist/bioethicist) involved in Terri Schiavo's case--including all the neurologists reviewed on television and in the newspapers who can accurately single out PVS patients from functioning patients with better than 60% accuracy on CT scans." "I will provide 100 single cuts from 100 different patient's brain CT's. All the neurologist has to do is say which ones represent patients with PVS and which do not." "If the neurologist can be right 6 out of 10 times he wins the $100,000."

No such thing. It was a civil case where the judge was asked to determine whether or not the legal guardian was acting properly.
