I'm sorry d-d, but I beg to differ. Honestly, you have missed the crux of my argument in post #193, which is focused on what MS DID NOT do under the circumstances at the time.

....."I think you are mistaken here. I believe that the bone scan was performed in 1991 but “discovered” by the Schindlers sometime later. Further, I don’t know that the bone scan was or was not introduced in the malpractice trial, but one thing is clear, the defendants in the malpractice suit certainly had the medical records which included the bone scan."

The Schindlers only learned of the Bone Scan MUCH MUCH LATER as in late 2002 when it came out during the hearing. You have any evidence that they knew about this much earlier?

But let's suppose you were correct and the Schindlers knew about this in the early 1990s, don't you think they would press for explanation and action at that time? Afterall, they were aleady in the middle of a lawsuit so what' the big deal starting another injury suit if someone else other than MS caused those broken bones? Bear in mind MS and the Scindlers "were in it together" at that time, to try to get settlement money for Terri's care, so the Schindlers thought. How do you explain that? Unless of course, MS indeed was hiding this information from them as they claimed because he was protecting the culprit (himself?) I'd be curious to hear your explanation otherwise.

As to your claim that the defendants had the Bone Scan report, I am very doubtful in this case even tho normal procedure would require both sides handing over relevant information no later than the discovery stage.

Why? Because insurance people don't like to pay out big bucks without first ruling out every little angle that would let them weasel out of a settlement.

If they indeed had the Bone Scan records, don't you think they would ask questions of MS, the Schindlers, the nursing home staff and anyone that's connected to the case? But most of all, don't you think they would at least talk to, or depose Dr. Campbell Walker? He is the radiologist who did the exam and wrote the report.

Lo and behold, wouldn't you know it, Dr. Walker did in fact get deposed, but not back then. It was on Friday, November 21, 2003, by Pat Anderson, despite ferocious objections from Felos and MS. Dr. Walker did have much to say. So, put on your seatbelt d-d. You may wish to revise your opinion about the Bone Scan.

......."how do you explain the complete absence of visible evidence of such a violent and ferocious beating? A beating of such magnitude that it breaks both ankles, both knees, a femur, her sacroiliac, vertebrae in her back, vertebrae in her neck ad fractures her skull without so much as leaving a mark, much less a bruise, on her body. Not one person at the time contemporaneous with Terri’s collapse reported any visible injury, not even Terri’s own brother or her own parents."

I have the same question as you did above. But, that's not vindication for MS, far from it.

You see, as a close family and regular visitors of Terri, the Schindlers didn't notice that either prior to the Bone Scan in 1991. Yet, the broken femur etc were there! How do you explain that d-d? Did the nursing home staff miss something? Afterall, they were caring for Terri and had close contacts. How could they have no clue with all them broken bones? Conversely, is it also possible that the ER staff at the time of collapse missed these injuries during the confusion?

Regardless of the circumstances of how the broken bones happened, MS was playing kissy face with the Schindlers up until Feb 1993 and he kept this from them. Why?

Since we have medical personnel in this loop, I'd like their opinion on what kind of treatments were needed for Terri's broken bones and, more importantly, how long would that take. And where are the medical records for these treatments, if in fact they were performed?

d-d, I never said the Bone Scan by itself is Proof that MS beat her that night in 1990 and was the cause of her collapse. No Sir. What I am saying is MS has a big problem not disclosing this while being "on good terms" with the Schindlers at that time, before the settlement money came in.

Mind you, I do entertain the possibility that MS might have beat Terri that caused her collapse and the ER people missed critical signs just like the nursing home people might have done before getting the Bone Scan.

....."It just could be that the "bone scan did not come out" because it produced no evidence that Terri's condition was a result of any beating and was irrelevent to the cause of her collapse and subsequent brain injury."

Does your above statement make any sense? According to your own declaration as an investigator, WHY didn't the Defendants even ask questions about the Bone Scan if they had it? If you worked for the Defendant, wouldn't you want to ask the Schindlers If & When & How they noticed anything that might alert them to Terri's broken bone injuries? And more importantly, WHY wasn't another injury lawsuit filed? That would be expected of MS. Wouldn't you want to dig up something critical? I await your answer as an experienced investigator.

To your credit tho d-d, I must say you never did challenge my stance that there is sufficient Probable Cause regarding MS as a suspect. For that, you might consider helping MS by calling for a criminal investigation and, since he doesn't have anything to hide, he just might enjoy the benefit of not getting burnt by Double Jeopardy after running its course.
