"If she doesn't get out of the chair, they will kill her."

8mmmauser, Terri DID get out of her chair the moment she heard the quote you provided. You probably know that but I want lurkers, media and freepers to see that Terri knew they were trying to kill her and she fought so hard and she was terrified in March 2005. It was nothing short of a modern day crucifixion.

BIG NEWS: Clay Roberts, is a current advisor to Charlie Crist. Clay Roberts was also Florida Elections Director. Clay Roberts was ALSO the Executive Deputy who spiked the investigation re: Terri Schiavo.

There are layers of conflicts of interest. It never ceases to amaze me.

At least Tom Gallagher isn't a trial lawyer whose cronies have dual-triple job titles.

Timeline for Clay Roberts multiple job titles sometime.

I'm for Tom Gallagher the non-trial lawyer. Crist is too connected and so are his advisors.

>> she fought so hard

It wasn't the first time. She fought desperately to breathe that fateful night, February 25, 1990. Her blood tests showed lactic acidosis, a condition caused by extreme exertion in the absence of oxygen. She was struggling to breathe and live.

Something cut off her oxygen. Lack of oxygen caused the brain damage.

It may well have been "Positional Asphyxia." A medical article defines it thus: "Positional Asphyxia:- in which the free action of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles is compromised, thereby causing hypoxia, disturbed heart rhythm and death. This factor will be significantly increased in prone restraints, or any procedure in which the movement of the chest is impeded or in which pressure or weight is applied to the back or chest."

In other words, the body is restrained or pinned down in a prone position (Terri was found in a prone position). If someone is on your back, say, the pressure on your diaphragm is so great you can't breathe. As you struggle, you develop metabolic acidosis (from the article again): "Acidosis:- the extreme exertion encountered in restraint situations produces lactic acid. In situations of prolonged struggle the individual may be unable to adequately clear lactic acid production leading to acidosis due to severe exertion, with consequent cardio-vascular collapse." [Terri went into cardiac arrest and had to be defibrillated seven times.]

Maybe somebody kneeling on her back left his knee prints when he pinned her down, one knee causing the unusual rib damage and the compression fracture of her spine at L1; the other causing the severe bone bruise on her right femur.
