"No one ever said she had NO cerebral cortex, did they?
Now that you mention it, they did."

Not sure where your link got their Crawford analysis/words but here is his direct court testimony and he goes in to quite a bit of detail to describe what he's seeing. He doesn't say it's completely gone but does indicate there isn't much there. What IS there he gives his opinion.

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...

Considering the amount of talk about her cerebral cortex at the time of Terri's impending death sentence, I would think the M.E. could of been way more specific about the matter. Basically, he just said she had water on the brain ("Hydrocephalus")which is what Doc Hammesfhar said years ago. A not uncommon condition that is very treatable, but her caregivers chose not to intervene.
