Here's a great article on the suspicions surrounding the Terri Schindler Schiavo case.
Story:
A bulletin issued by the New York State Office for Prevention of Domestic Violence states that strangulation has only recently been identified as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence.
When perpetrators use strangulation to silence their victims, this is a form of power and control that has a devastating psychological effect on victims and a potentially fatal outcome.
Historically, "choking" was rarely prosecuted as a serious offense because victims minimize the level of violence and police and medical personnel fail to recognize it.
