People who don't want to read those 67 pages might want the Coles Notes. The various injuries that look oh-so-suspicious are not really very suspicious after all:
12 Q Okay. The abnormalities in the multiple
13 bilateral ribs, could that have occurred during an
14 attempt at resuscitation by the paramedics or
15 hospital staff?
16 A A vigorous resuscitation could do that,
17 yes.
.... and so on.
Furthermore, the suggestion of abuse is a red herring. What possible bearing does it have on the question at hand?
