You have, and I thank you as well.
I know that sometimes doctors just settle a lawsuit to avoid a prolonged, expensive trial.
But one would think that if there was any evidence that Terri had been strangled, someone would have mentioned it when she was first admitted to the hospital.
Neither the paramedics, doctors, nurses or numerous family members who visited her immediately after her admission to the hospital ever mentioned the possibility that she had been strangled.
And it would have been strange for Michael, if he was guilty, to consider opening himself up for further investigation by pushing the lawsuit. It would have been very risky for him to have done so.
As far as PVS and the four minutes are concerned, I don't know but would imagine that if Terri had shown 4 minutes of non-PVS brain activity, it would be mentioned somewhere in court testimony or the Guardian ad litem report and it isn't anywhere that I've seen.
As an aside, the Guardian ad litem report quotes Terri's family as telling Michael it was time to get on with his life.
What I don't like to see on this forum, and I'm certainly not charging you because you have been courteous, is for some freepers to charge that we who are trying to present the facts as we know them as being "eager to see Terri die."
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
