Accused stepfather fights to keep girl alive.

The stepfather who beat his 11 year old daughter so savagely that he left her in a coma and dependent on life support is now fighting the state of Massachusetts who wants to terminate the life support saying she will never recover. The Israel Antiquities Authority believes

Her stepmother, also accused of beating the girl, was found dead next to her grandmother in what police believe was a murder-suicide though they don't know who shot whom.

Jason Strickland, facing assault charges is now free on bail. He's only fighting to save her life so he won't be charged with murder. This is not another Terry Schiavo case.
