But the lawyers for the Defendants had an independent reason to find another way to explain Terri's condition that placed the blame on someone other than the Defendants. If, as people are now saying, there was evidence of physical battering, the defendants' experts should have picked that up without any hints from the Schindlers.

True. I can't answer that.

Do you think the Schindlers are lying? Do you think they would lie to save their daughter?

I have no idea. Maybe the Defendant's lawyers were incompetent. Maybe the physical evidence was too vague, without some corroboration that Michael was abusive. Maybe there was some procedural reason for the outcome. Maybe the Schindlers cooperated in blaming the doctor, even while suspecting there was some other explanation, just to get money. Maybe they were being dishonest then, rather than now. Maybe they are pure as the driven snow, and there is some other explanation.

I have no idea.

It just doesn't make sense.

The Schindler's were probably not lying about the bruises. I have tell you, as others here can too, they are very sweet and very trusting. They probably believed whatever explanation Michael gave them. You have to remember too that Michael and Terri lived with them for a while. I think that, for a long time, the Schindler's accepted Michael as a son (and we all know that nobody wants to think negatively about their "son").

From my personal observation, the Schindlers are not a bunch of liars. It's an honor to have gotten to know them. They are fine people in every way. Terri is responsive - the only lies are incoming. Judge Greer treated the Schindlers like second class citizens since day one. Terri is just a case file to Judge Greer and he is legally blind.
