The fact that the guy had two broken ribs, found at autopsy, lends credence to the "combative" story, though that could just as easily have occurred after he was strapped down.
he had two broken ribs, which State’s Attorney Dan Wright attributed during Friday’s hearing to Moore’s being strapped in so tightly facedown.
I'm not buying that - you strapped someone down so tightly that you broke ribs? Nah.
Another Cadigan attorney, Edward Unsell, said it’s more likely that the broken ribs Moore suffered resulted from hospital staffers’ attempts to resuscitate him.
That said, I see no legitimate reason for strapping him in face-down.
Weisahaar said Finley told him that she monitored Moore’s vital signs on the way to HSHS St. John’s Hospital. But Wright played for the court a recording of Finley’s call to alert the hospital of their arrival in which she said, “I’m not messing with vitals because I don’t want to poke the bear.”
This is negligence, to be sure. At least make sure the guy is breathing, ffs.
