A months-long legal battle to keep Israel Stinson alive came to an end on Aug. 25, after a judge ruled to take the brain-dead California toddler off life support.
The ruling comes just seven days after a court granted a temporary restraining order that would prevent the hospital’s medical personnel from shutting off Stinson’s ventilator while the family obtained a second opinion from a neurologist.
“It was a complete shock … a complete turnaround from last week,” family attorney Alexandra Snyder told the Sacramento Bee.
