Michael is a huge guy -- all he needed to do was put his forearm across her throat and push until she couldn't breathe any more. No finger prints, no bruises. But there was a bone scan done, and the doc noted a fractured neck (C-3?). Why didn't the ME reference that report?

Maybe the ME should confer with the previous Pinellas ME, Dr. Joan Wood, and see what they can come up with between them.

Of course the answer is he did address this charge. From the article this thread is based on:

In response to the allegations that Terri's collapse was the result of a physical assault, Thogmartin noted that she received nearly 30 X-rays, CAT scans and ultrasound examinations during the medical examination that followed her collapse.

"Any fractures - including rib fractures, leg fractures, ankle fractures, skull fractures, spine fractures - that occurred concurrent with her initial collapse would almost certainly have been diagnosed in 1990, especially with the number of physical exams, radiographs and other evaluations she received during her initial hospitalization," Thogmartin said. "No fractures or trauma were reported or recorded."

If you are going to publicly accuse someone of murder, you should publicly do so, and not make your accusations anonymously.
