"From your first link, I noticed that the court ruled that he was not even qualified to read CT scans which sort of makes his opinion not relevant anyway. Hmmmm..."

No, what it says is that Felos (MS's lawyer) did not establish why he was or was not qualified to read them. The objection was upheld and then Felos proceeded to elicit Cranfords qualification.
2 BY MR. FELOS:
3 Q. First, Dr. Cranford, what experience do
4 you -- first, what experience do neurologists
5 generally have in reading CT scans?
6 A. A great deal of experience. It's a
7 daily, weekly thing.
8 Q. And what experience do you have?
9A. I've reviewed thousands and thousands
10 of CAT scans in the last -- well, CAT scans have
11 only been around for 10, 15 years, but I don't
12 have any idea how many, thousands and thousands
13 and hundreds and hundreds. Well, more than
14 hundreds and hundreds. I mean, I review CAT
15 scans several per week, so it's very common.
16 Q. Dr. Cranford, do you have an opinion,
17 within a reasonable degree of medical certainty,
18 as to whether the 2002 CAT scan shows a
19 regeneration of Theresa Schiavo's brain?

The Parents atty objected again, and the judge overruled obviously accepting the Dr. as qualified...acceptance by the court.

Didn't you read that far or just being misleading?

It may help liberals sleep at night, thinking it was right to starve and dehydrate a human being to death. In front of her own family and arresting people who try to help. Think of it being your daughter or son. It was sick no whitewash will get me to forgive the animals that allowed it to happen. They would not do it to an animal!

In his book, Felos claims to hear the voices of the comatose asking for "release"

I didn't read that far. It is still interesting that the court reversed itself with no credentials other than his own word. If I missed the credentials part where he was certified at some point in time to read cat scans, please let me know.

What can I say? Nut cases attract nut cases.

"I'll send you a blank if you'll dupe me a copy. What format? As far as the judges looking at it, you can't point to a single filing in court where it was ever tendered. Needless to say, I'm skeptical."

I'm puzzled. How did so many people miss it? The tape was played several times on different programs.

You linked to a pulled thread.

The fact that it was on Hannitypalooza makes me even more skeptical. After all, he did bring on Hammesfahr and tout him about 47 times as a "nobel prize nominee."

I forgot how they got Terri's audio when they where going to pull her tube. Was it a cell phone or something?

So you think Hannity made some phony tape, himself? For goodness sake.

You didn't have to tell me that thread was pulled. I told you myself on the post above. I just wondered out loud why it was pulled. Odd.

Not that he made a phony tape. Just that he wouldn't be very inquisitive about its provenance. As he was with the good witch doctor's credentials.

Why didn't they ever tender it into evidence?

Wow! Not a flame, but a beacon of light to shine on the truth. Even so, many will refuse to see it. It's is exactly as you say, their emphasis is on death not life, Their glasses are half empty, yours is half full!

I don't know about the legal manueverings. And frankly, I don't care about that circus. The burden of proof should lie on the accuser. She was accused of a crime worthy of death, and the prosecution didn't cover all its tracks before executing her.

I can make you a copy: standard cassette tape, but I'd be surprised if Hannity doesn't play it again. CNN must have scrubbed it's report on her attempt to speak. Nowhere in google now, either. In which case, I can see why so many people never heard the tape. Got my PO box address in my profile.

Warning: it's a haunting sound. She doesn't speak well. I think the tube may still be in her mouth, in fact, and her brain was pretty slow, if it was in fact her. FRegards....

Perhaps when a death is forced by removal of nutrition or other means it should be required that it be stated in cause of death. Then statistically deaths that are caused by deliberate removal of nutrition/hydration can be properly tracked. OTH, they may not want to keep these kinds of stats, might begin to appall people how many patients are being euthanized.

Half my mom's brain was ate by cancer, but she was still my mom.

You may not have the FREE application, Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you need to open such files (either that, or if you are on dialup, it may take a while for it to open).

If you don't have Acrobat reader, you cand download it free from here:

As for the bones, they said, that Terri had osteoporosis and no sign of trauma. They also said that she did NOT have bulemia. The low postassium people cited as evidence was from medications the paramedics gave her when they arrived at the site. The report did mention that there was a question of what happened between the time Michael claims to have found Terri at 4:30 am and 5:40 am, when the paramedics were called.

It's a long report. Try downloading Adobe reader, then wait and see if the document opens for you.
