"Science" is the Greek word for knowledge. Without science as your guide, you are lost in the poisonous fog of bullshit.
Only science can figure out and tell the truth - which in this case was that the child had an insidious internal head injury called a subdural hematoma, one that slowly pressed on and suffocated her brain, the only public evidence for which is 3 CT images, one taken just before surgery to evacuate the hematoma to relieve the pressure on the brain, one taken right after surgery, and a third taken the next day.
The pre-surgery image
shows a calcified chronic hematoma, which can be seen in the top left of
the picture by the thin dark area just under the skull, edged by a n internal ribbon of white, where the calcified membrane of the hematoma is
pressing on the brain. Of all human tissues, only calcium and bone
attenuate xrays so much that they show as white in a CT image. That's a
scientific fact, which can be demonstrated by experiment.
It
takes a long time for a hematoma to calcify, even though science cannot
say exactly how long; history has shown it can be anywhere from a few
weeks to a few months. The only thing that is sure is that it cannot
happen within the less than an hour between the 911 call and the time of Hannah's CT scan.
The
immediate post-surgery image shows a huge gap in the skull that the surgeon
had cut. The dark-bodied white-ribboned hematoma is gone, and in its
place is seen herniated brain tissue, which like a swollen balloon has
expanded into the space voided by the surgeon. The herniation is
visible as corrugations of shades of grey, the darker one being the
nerve fibres of the brain, and the lighter one being the cell bodies of
nerves.
In the image taken the day after, the herniation can be seen to be getting worse.
The Ohio 12th District Appeal Court cited the pathologist's finding that Hannah died from "brain shearing" - the shearing of neuron axons away from their cell bodies - which are visible on the post-operation CT scans as the herniation corrugations, because neuron cell bodies are a lighter shade of grey than axons.
But the shearing is not there on the pre-surgery scan. It was caused by the herniation caused by the surgical operation to evacuate the hematoma. But it wasn't the surgeon who killed her, he was only unable to save her, because her brain swelling was already so advanced, its increased pressure was suffocating the supply of oxygen to the brain, so poor little Hannah would have died from that without the operation.
This proves beyond any doubt that Hannah was not killed by an assault causing shearing before the surgery.
The child's father had testified that Hannah was fine the day before she collapsed - but unbeknown to him,
she had an insidious injury, probably due to a fall
some weeks or months before. She had been a very active little girl,
who loved trampoline jumping off the bed. Her death was a tragedy, but it wasn't a crime. Details in one drip too far
