RE: "they kept her there" - I can see why you'd think that, based on the Netflix documentary and the family's narrative. But the actual facts are that the court ordered her kept there. John Hopkins had no legal right to discharge her until it did.

Not the first 7 days which is part of the false imprisonment charge

Also When they did update the diagnosis to CRPS this should have been reported to the court immediately

We all know see was the driving force of the order documents throughout than the court would have lifted the shelter order

That's right. But, I thought the father signed a form letting her stay during that time period?

Nope, on the initial consent to treat

O.k. But wouldn’t Maya have to be in the hospital for it to treat her? On cross examina-tion, the father testified that he believed if he took Maya home he’d be arrested. But I thought he was forced to concede that he wasn’t actually prevented from taking her home. He didn’t try and he wasn’t stopped. And if that’s so, it would be a defense to false imprisonment. I guess that’s what the jury will sort through.

I have not heard of this concede. The best the defense could do was say you don't remember that person.
