Also, a lot of the nurses testifying against MS were disgruntled because he was very pushy in making sure Terri was well taken care of. He almost had restraining orders against him for the level of care he demanded.
The bone scans don't prove any abuse, let alone who may have done such abuse. And, from what I've read, they can all be attributed to complications from bulemia coupled with the fall she took her initial collapse as well as resucitation efforts by paramedics. The stiff neck issue couldn't be caused by strangulation - vertibrae were damaged, but such strangulation would have left bruises but none were observed. The stiff neck is a typical response to anoxic brain injury. Also, if her injuries were suspected of being caused by abuse and not bulemia, then why wasn't this brough out by the defense during the malpractice suit where MS was awarded A million $? The abuse argument, unless there is more information (from the autopsy perhaps), is nothing but speculation at best and there isn't any evidence that MS did it. Even Terri's friends who were witnesses during the trial gave conflicting testimony and hence had their credibility impeached.
IMHO this legal battle was a the worst type of a major fight between family members and both sides were doing everything they could to get it to go their way.
Moral relativity always finds excuses. Justifications for doing wrong does not make it right; it's still wrong to play God and murder a human being.
