Jahi’s family has not allowed a third-party neurologist to conduct an examination since the girl was declared dead.

Ultimately, if Jahi is reclassified as alive, the family could be entitled to millions of dollars in damages. Awards are capped in California at $250,000 for the wrongful death of a child, but there is no cap for wrongful-injury claims because a court can order medical costs to be paid indefinitely.

it’s up to a jury to determine whether Jahi McMath is alive
Unless it's a jury of medical and neurology experts, then why the fuck is it up to a jury? What does the average person off the street know about brain death? Fucking hell.

Put her in the room with a group of average people and the majority are going to say that in the complete absence of movement, she's dead.

I certainly hope so. I just think it's shocking that a JUDGE would punt to a jury by saying it's up to average people to decide. No, it's up to the experts, the real experts, and they've already decided. It's like saying it's up to a jury to decide if a person has cancer. Wtf.

Bear in mind this is the same judicial system that sentenced a man, convicted of 3 counts of felony sexual assualt, to 6 months (of which he served 3) - you'd get more prison time for having pot brownies for dog sake. Don't get me wrong, Britain isn't perfect, but we wouldn't allow parental visits to an imprisoned man who raped and impregnated an underage girl (looking at you, Massachusetts).
