without waking her husband, killed her silently out in the hall,

But, Terri wasn't killed, by stabbing, by gunshot or by strangulation. She lived. Perhaps no one intended to kill her, but only intended to keep her quiet.

Perhaps that person "accidentally" suffocated her, but she recovered. Neighbors didn't report Terri shouting for help. Were there any reports of a disturbance that night?

It would seem that one can chose between

1. the story that Terri collapsed or
2. the story that Terri was quietly injured by someone.

Which of these options do you chose to believe? Maybe I am missing a third option? I'm open to your input.

There are ways to suffocate/silence people that leave little evidence

Burking originally referred to killing by closing the nose with two fingers or inserting fingers in the nostrils and then clamping the mouth shut with thumb or elbow, suffocating the victim.

People can be suffocated if they are held in a manner that prevents chest expansion, too.

Terri's plight is being brought up in a thread by paulat:

Alive - after 63 days under rubble (I CAN'T IMAGINE THE HORROR)

2. the story that Terri was quietly injured by someone


Since there was no one else in the apartment, I'll take the liberty of changing 'someone' to Michael Schiavo, Terri's hot-headed husband.

It doesn't take much for a frightened (I'll pretend to be asleep when michael comes home) 5'2" woman to be 'quieted' by a 6'7" man.

Agatha Christie. That night does not jive. But, remember Jodi's mom worked at the Sheriff's Dept. the same Sheriff's Dept. that hired HINO to work in the women's jail as a nurse. His license is under investigation as he lied about his credentials and education on his application.

How would you like to be a woman in that jail?

This is why I'm against Everett Rice becoming Florida's Attorney General. He was the Sheriff who voted against Terri when he became a non-elected house member after he gave HINO his job earlier this year at the Sheriff's Dept.

Rice is another GOP in with Judge Greed(r).

IF THEY'RE FROM PINELLAS COUNTY, DO NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE FOR A STATE OFFICE. They are members of Florida's medicaid fraud and death care system. In up to their eyeballs.

Not in the real world. We are, after all, discussing a fairy story here -- your fairy story -- not the facts of the case.

I was scoffing at the notion that some mystery assailant pulled her out of bed and left her for dead on the floor, all without a sound or a fight from Terri, and all without disturbing Schiavo's sleep. The same Michael Schiavo who claimed to be awakened instantly by the sound of Terri falling.

As I said, that's preposterous.
