Thanks for your persistance in not letting this crime go forgotten by the rewriting of history.
Amen!
Michael told at least three different stories about the events that night. Right away, you wonder why? Logically, two of the three stories had to be false, and possibly all three. If he lied twice, chances are he did indeed lie all three times. Why would he lie even once if his wife's injuries were innocent?
Michael lied to the police, too. He told them that domestic relations were good and that he had not had a fight with Terri. That was flagrantly false. The fact was -- as observed by both sides of the family and by a close friend of Terri -- they had had a vehement argument that day. The fight was so heated that Terri's friend feared for her safety and told her she should come spend the night at her house. Unfortunately, Terri declined.
Michael had to work late at a restaurant job. Soon after he got home, Terri ended up unconscious and unresponsive on the hallway floor, in cardiac arrest. That is when she suffered brain damage. Medical testing found no natural cause for her injuries. The autopsy didn't find a natural cause either.
Occam's razor tells us to look at the obvious answer and not to consider any far-fetched theory unless we can eliminate that obvious answer. The two primary causes of death and injury to young women are domestic violence and auto wrecks, in that order. The obvious suspicion is that Terri was the victim of domestic violence. Nobody has ruled it out. The autopsy did not rule it out. So why we looking anywhere else?
Michael does not have an alibi.
