"I have not, I just returned from spending a few days in The Big Apple, and avoided any sort of news outside the weather for a week or so. "
That explains it. I did not follow this case over the years either -- in retrospect I am ashamed of it, I should have, but didn't. I started to pay more attention the last several months and I didn't have "an axe to grind". But the more I found out, the more suspicious circumstances (including the circumstances around Terri's collapse), motives and more uncertainties were revealed.
Ask yourself -- if MS just wanted to go on with his life, why didn't he just let Terri's parents have Terri and surround her with love? As someone put it, maybe MS wasn't afraid that Terri won't recover, he was afraid that she might, and might remember what he did to her.
Explains what?
Do you think that my not standing on a death vigil over the past several days has somehow entropied all that I learned about the case over the many years that it has been making its way through the system?
Please...try to think before posting dribble.
