No. The statement was in reference to an affadavit or deposition by a nurse who took care of Terri in 95-96. Michael would show up, lock the door to Terri's room, spend 20 minutes or so, unlock the door and leave.

The RN would then check on Terri and would notice symptoms of low blood sugar, and Terri would be "crying hysterically" (I didn't realize vegetables cried, much less hysterically). Blood sugar wouln't even register on the meter, indicating life-threatening hypoglycemia.

After administering glucose in Terri's mouth (she swallowed that, didn't she?), she checked the contents of the trash on a hunch, and found insulin bottles carefully wrapped in other paper. She then discovered needle marks under Terri's breasts and in her groin area. It happened on multiple occasions per caretaker's testimony. Greer however, deemed the info "Not Credible," along with testimony of at least two other nurses. Just one other piece of the puzzle the appeals courts never got to review, as it was never admitted into evidence. As I said on another post, it's as if the Schindlers never even showed up.
