[extropy-chat] Final thought on Schiavo

[Al Brooks]

Were the records shown to judges? Was there any
probable cause to give Schiavo a polygraph? An
allegation remains so until there is a conviction, or
you have documentation yourself you can show us. If
you handed us a plastic-wrapped syringe with potassium
chloride in it plus Schiavo's fingerprints on it, then
we would listen. Show us a paper with a signed
confession from Schiavo, then we'd listen. 
Sounds right now like a fringe rumor backed up with
circumstantial evidence & cooked documents.
