Am I making sense now?

YEP

[T'wit]

We don't know when the traumas occurred. There seems at least some reason to suppose she was beaten up before her supposed "collapse." She was seen to be unusually bruised. She was unhappy, ready to get a divorce despite her religious views. My best guess is, she may have received other trauma at some earlier time, but not the fractured femur.

On the fateful night, the police officer said there was no sign of a big physical fight. Nor did Terri have obvious signs of physical beating that night (that we know of).

We do have the occipital fracture, rigid neck and probable bruises to the throat. The first two would not have been visible to the police officer, maybe the third, especially if she was face down. Those injuries suggest that Michael was on top of her, holding her down while pulling up on her neck (possibly with his forearm) and putting great pressure on the back of her head. This would account for everything except the fractured femur. That could have been twisting her leg when she went down, or him kneeling on her thigh with all his weight as he held her.

Does this make sense to you?

Does this make sense to you?

YEP. My theory is that he held her down by the back of the neck and smothered into the carpet. Broke her spine, knocked her over a piece of furniture, sat on her, kicked her, and anything else you can fill in the blanks with.

[T'wit]

One other possibility is that he whacked her with some blunt object on the back of the head. Then there's no struggle. Not that any of the fights you and I have pictured would leave signs of a big brawl.

However, I do have the 45 pg Bush Brief, and still trying to get it unlocked to post

I missed the day you introduced yourself, so I will go with the Freepers that vouch for you. I would like to know where you are getting your info.

Thank you.

Can you pls tell us in simple, plain English what this is about? Is she responsive in a coma, or vegetative, or what? Plain, simple English pls, for those of us who are not Catholic and don't want to click on 12 separate links? THANKS

She is not comatose. She is not vegetative. She is alert, aware, responsive, brain damaged.
Her husband wants to kill legally, by having her declared vegetative, and by the fact that she is totally dependent upon a G tube for nutrition and hydration.
It has taken 10 years for this case to make front page news in this country.
The judicial system has failed Terri in protecting her rights as a disabled American. Law enforcement has failed to protect Terri by not investigating her condition upon admission into the hospital. The hospital has failed Terri by neglecting basic aspects of treatment and care due to threats and intimidation from the husband. Fl Supreme Court has failed Terri by faling to hear the case before this, and the only reason they are taking it on now, is because the ACLU is suing JEB Bush. The husband has failed Terri by abuse, neglect, and failing to provide appropriate care as a guardian. He goes free.
Is there anything else I may expound upon?
