Orthodox Jews oppose an autopsy where no discernable benefit can be derived from it. This is true. But the religious law allows for an autopsy in cases of necessity - and in this case, it will be almost impossible to prosectute her killer, if ever a case comes to trial. The defense will have a field day - nothing but an MRI report to indicate strangulation.
.... it will be almost impossible to prosectute her killer, if ever a case comes to trial. The defense will have a field day - nothing but an MRI report to indicate strangulation. As opposed to what?
A pathologist slicing up the neck like so much salami, eyeballing the mess and then issuing a report?
An MRI will show minute changes in the soft tissues of the neck in great detail.
MRI images can be shown in court and every finding explained. Autopsy photos look like hamburger to a jury.
What does a sliced up neck and a human eyeball show that an MRI won't show?
