" Dr. Hammesfahr continued, "The videotapes clearly showed her seeing, and even Dr. Cranford, for the husband, commented to her that, when she could see the balloon, she could follow it with her eyes as per his request." ...Spunkets claims it is impossible because Dr. Thogmartin says so. I think we could use a little better evidence than that."

You should always include Cranford's final assesment and conclusion regarding that video. It was that Terri was completely unresponsive to visual stimuli. That is what matters, not the capture of the off the cuff, preliminary comment by Cranford.

Not necessary. The video speaks for itself. If something Dr. Cranford said later conflicts with what he said in the video, then we have a truth problem. It would be one more indication that what he told the court was open to doubt as to its veracity.

Cranford's scientific impartiality was already in question. Felos wouldn't have hired him from halfway across the country without knowing perfectly well in advance that he would testify that Terri was PVS. That's the testimony Felos had to have -- the testimony Cranford was paid to deliver. That's what he did in all of his court appearances. With Terri, he didn't even bother with professional testing. His one 42-minute session was far short of professional standards.
