Misinformation to muddy the waters. I can't be as objective as I ought as I think the strangulation theory has credence since it was attempted on me by a strong, dominant man as I perceive the husband to be.
They lived in an apartment complex and strangulation doesn't make any noise, whereas screaming would.
Maybe it was truly a collapse from causes unknown and nobody has gotten it right to this point. Maybe the lawsuit was based on circumstantial facts that fell together and was supported by professional testimony and the medical records.
Sometimes insurance companies settle to keep the payout lower , even though they suspect differently and can't prove anything. There's a big difference for them between $1.2 mil and $17 mil. They risked a jury award of $17 mil.
Maybe both parties colluded or perjured themselves to get the money. How would I know?
