I suspect it stems from a desire to believe that nothing and nobody is 100% good or 100% bad. Any portrayal of someone as being 99% bad must be unfair, because it's unbelievable that anyone could really be that bad.
Well to me, yeah. I think it's way over the top.
Not that I want to side with the guy...
I don't know him or what makes him tick. But to me, if someone's even in a deep coma, you can never be sure they aren't aware at any level, so it's wrong to let them languish inside with so little stim, like he's let Terri in the last few years.
I also think it's unforgivable that he hasn't allowed more doctors to attempt to give therapy and retest Terri in these recent years. I'm sure her parents would even pay for it. I think he wont half out of spite and half out of not wanting the to risk the guilt of learning she could be better or is aware of her condition.
Either reason is unacceptable to me.
But, the stretches that are made to claim he assaulted her and is afraid she'll tell, and the faith in Carla Iyer's outrageous claims... Well,, there's so much of that, it does gives the impression of an irrational eagerness to "over-demonize" him.
