No real surprises, but...

But the Schiavo autopsy results are out:

...she would not have been able to eat or drink if she had been given food by mouth as her parents' requested.

Ok, so it turns out that she couldn't have just gotten up and walked around as a bunch of the nurses said (but never testified to).

"The brain weighed 615 grams, roughly half of the expected weight of a human brain. ... This damage was irreversible, and no amount of therapy or treatment would have regenerated the massive loss of neurons."

Which puts into question the fairness of the Fox coverage which continuously showed her tracking a balloon. Of course, that video was cherry picked from hours and hours of video where she did nothing. Cherry picking, a speciality of the RNC and it's cronies.

It also debunks the crazy Nobel nominee doctors that Fox and Hannity dug up who said they could cure Terry.

And then the kicker...

...there was no evidence of strangulation or other trauma leading to her collapse.

So this whole murderer thing was a bunch of crap, and those that rushed to judgment persecuted and threatened an innocent man.

She was sick and untreated. She collapsed and went into a coma. Done.

Yet more proof of Occam's Razor: Of two equivalent theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is to be preferred.

It's wrong to accuse someone of murder when in reality the person just isn't doing what you want them to do.
