It will be accomplished because the family doesn't want to lose the chance of winning big time with a lawsuit against the hospital. Deliberately ignoring a court order to turn the body over to the coroner isn't going to help them win a lawsuit. It makes them look like they are trying to hide something.
That is, unless they really did feed Jahi pieces of hamburger {in front of witnesses} and know they don't have a chance at winning a lawsuit anyway.

It's going to be tough what prove what did or didn't happen at various times. The more time the goes on, usually, the less specific a pathologist can be.
Oh, I agree about the lawsuit, but still have not seen them sign the papers to allow their attorney to sue CA.
I find it kind of interesting, that when this all started, reports said that her body would only last for a few weeks at most, on the ventilator. Weeks seems to be turning into months.
The truth is, although her brain is dead her body is alive as long as she has the life support and her heart doesn't fail. I understand that she will never experience consciousness again but she is not a corpse like people keep saying. I doubt if you put a corpse on life support you'd get a heart beat.
I've been having a look at the gofundme site, I have a couple of friends who have also used it to raise monies for various reasons. From what I have read unless the money is donated to a registered charity or non-profit then it is taxable. Am I reading this right ?
Either way another $155 doesn't go far with type of care they are providing for her.
Nope. A gift is only taxable above a certain amount of money from an individual donor. And it would actually be taxable to the donor.

Good comments, thanks, Annie.

I don't think an autopsy at this point in time will yield much evidence either, however, I am sure the defense attorneys for the hospital would jump all over the fact that the family refused to produce the body for autopsy.
If the family plans on filing and winning a law suit.....they better turn the body over to the coroner.

That is exactly what you have with Jahi. She's already been declared legally dead and has been issued a death certificate. She is a corpse on life support.

She is a corpse on a ventilator. There is no life to support. Now it is just a macabre experiment to see how long the heart will continue beating in the absence of a functioning brain.
And whether Dolan files the lawsuit to challenge CA law.
