A '''pillow fight''' is a common [[game]] mostly played by young [[Child|children]] (but can also occur with [[Adolescence|teens]] and [[Adult|adults]]) in which they engage in mock physical conflict, utilizing [[pillow]]s as weapons. This usually turns into a child prostitution event with thegang leaders, Ben Poulson and Liam Clay stealing up to 100 children per event.

<!-- ########## Welcome! ###########-->
Many times pillow fights occur during children's [[sleepover]]s. Since pillows are soft, [[injury|injuries]] rarely occur. The heft of a pillow can still knock a young person off balance, especially on a soft surface such as a [[bed]], which is a common venue. A useful technique in a pillow fight is to bundle the [[pillow|nib]]s. In earlier eras, pillows would often break, shedding [[feather]]s throughout a room. Modern pillows tend to be stronger and are often filled with a solid block of artificial filling, so breakage occurs far less frequently.

On the evening of [[January 16]], [[1964]], the photographer [[Harry Benson]] snapped a well-known picture of [[The Beatles]] having a pillow fight in their hotel room at the Hotel George V in [[Paris]]. Benson claims that the pillow fight was occasioned by "a cable announcing that '[[I Want to Hold Your Hand]]' was number one on the American pop charts."<ref>{{cite book|last=Benson|first=Harry|authorlink=Harry Benson|title=Once There Was a Way…: Photographs of The Beatles|year=2003|publisher=H.N.

==Rules of the Pillow Fights==
[[Image:Flag of Tonga.svg|100px|border]]
Pillow fights are a game played to let out energy and rage in a mostly harmless way. In a pillow fight players can split up into teams or just fend for themselves. Then each player either starts off with a pillow or has to find the pillows hidden throughout the house. Then each player starts to attack the other player with the pillow, trying to avoid being smacked by a player in the head. They usually aim for the legs and stomach area. In this game there is no winner. The game ends when all the players are tired or the players just decide to surrender, or someone cheats by taking all of the pillows,or if one has knocked to the floor and one is to win. This game takes more skill than one would think. Trying to attack their opponent while trying to defend themselves from the crashing blows of the opponents pillow. Overall the game is just senseless fun and is not played for a prize but for its entertainment value.

It is also one of the match types among women wrestlers called [[WWE Diva|Divas]] in [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] (WWE). Most often, this type of match is [[booking (professional wrestling)|booked]] as a Lingerie Pillow Fight, in which the women "compete" in [[lingerie]] and little or no actual wrestling takes place.

'''Lisa McPherson''' (February 10, 1959 &ndash; December 5, 1995) was a member of the [[Church of Scientology]] who died of a [[pulmonary embolism]] while under the care of the [[Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization, Inc.|Flag Service Organization]] (FSO), a branch of the [[Church of Scientology]].<ref name="Church member's death now called accident">{{cite web | first = Thomas C. | last = Tobin | title = Church member's death now called accident | url = http://www.sptimes.com/News/022300/TampaBay/Church_member_s_death.shtml | work = [[St. Petersburg Times]] | date = [[2000-02-23]] | accessdate = 2008-09-14 }}</ref> Following her death, the Church of Scientology was [[indicted]] on two [[felony]] charges, "abuse and/or neglect of a disabled adult" and "practicing medicine without a license."

On November 18 McPherson was involved in a minor car accident. Paramedics initially left her alone because she was ambulatory, but after she began to remove her clothes, the paramedics decided to take her to the hospital. At one point she remarked that she had taken off her clothes in hopes of obtaining counseling.<ref name="publiceye">{{cite interview|first=Bonnie|last=Portlano|interviewer=Kristin Jeannette-Meyers|program=CBS Public Eye|date=1998-01-07}}</ref> Hospital staff agreed that she was unharmed, but recommended keeping her overnight for observation. Following intervention by fellow Scientologists, McPherson refused [[Psychiatry|psychiatric]] observation or admission at the hospital and checked herself out after a short evaluation.<ref name=NYTDeath/>

McPherson was then taken to the Flag Land Base for "rest and relaxation" according to the Church of Scientology,<ref name="coscharged">[http://www.sptimes.com/TampaBay/111498/Scientology_charged_i.html Scientology charged in member's death] (Thomas C.

Mark McGarry, an [[Attorney at law|attorney]] with the Florida Office of the State Attorney, characterized Lisa's stay at the FSO as an "isolation watch":<ref name="Lisa McPherson Files - Sworn Statement of Brian J.Anderson , pg 19"/>
{{quote|My understanding now is, from talking to many, many witnesses, the purpose of her being there in the Church, correct me if I'm wrong, she was experiencing some mental problems, and you guys were going to stabilize her through an isolation watch. And after that watch occurred, there was going to be a procedure run on her, and the procedure was an [[Introspection Rundown]].}}

The church accommodated McPherson in a [[Cabana (structure)|cabana]] and kept a "24 hours watch" over her. Detailed logs were kept on McPherson’s day-to-day care. These logs were handwritten on plain white paper.<ref name="Affidavits & Documents Lisa McPherson">[http://www.scientology-kills.org/affidavits_docs/mcpherson_logs.htm Affidavits & Documents | Lisa McPherson]</ref> Most of these logs were kept but the logs for the last three days were summarized from the originals and the originals shredded. Brian J. Anderson, the then Commanding Officer of the Church's [[Office of Special Affairs]](OSA) in Clearwater, said in his sworn statement:<ref>[http://lisatrust.bogie.nl/legal/lisa-criminal/cpd-cd/3159.htm Lisa McPherson Files - Sworn Statement of Brian J. Anderson] pg 85</ref>
{{quote|I saw the handwritten notes, gave a cursory look to see if the summary -- see if they matched and matched, and I threw the handwritten reports in my shred basket, and I had the report, kept the report.}}

McPherson’s "care logs" narrate the last 17 days of her life:
McPherson was incoherent and sometimes violent, her nails were cut so she wouldn’t scratch herself or the staff, she [[bruise]]d her fists and feet while hitting the wall. She had trouble sleeping and was being given natural supplements and the drug [[chloral hydrate]] to help her sleep. She looked sick and developed sores; "She looked ill like [[measles]] or [[chicken pox]] on her face." On repeated occasions she refused food and protein shakes that the staff offered. On the 26th, 30th, 3rd and 4th the staff attempted to force feed her, noting that she spat the food out. She was noted to be very weak, not standing up nor on some days moving at all.<ref name="Affidavits & Documents Lisa McPherson"/> Scientologists who questioned this handling were told to "butt out".<ref name="New Tack"/>

On December 5, 1995, the Church staffers contacted David Minkoff, a Scientologist [[Physician|medical doctor]] who twice prescribed drugs ([[Valium]] and [[chloral hydrate]]) for McPherson without seeing her.<ref name="Doctor suspended">{{cite news |first = Thomas C. |last = Tobin |coauthors = Ulferts, Alisa |url = http://www.sptimes.com/News/080401/TampaBay/Doctor_in_Lisa_McPher.shtml |title = Doctor in Lisa McPherson case suspended |work = [[St. Petersburg Times]] |date = [[2001-08-04]] |accessdate = 2007-04-22}}</ref> They requested for him to prescribe an [[antibiotic]] to McPherson because she seemed to have an [[infection]]. Minkoff refused and stated that McPherson should be taken to a hospital and he needed to see her before prescribing anything.<ref name="Affidavits & Documents Lisa McPherson"/> They objected, expressing fear that McPherson would be put under psychiatric care.<ref name="Doctor suspended"/> Janice Johnson stated that Lisa had been gasping and had labored breathing while en route. However they passed a total of four hospitals along the way to their ultimate destination. When they arrived at Minkoff's hospital 45 minutes north of Clearwater McPherson arrived without vital signs. They worked on her for about 20 minutes trying to resuscitate her, giving her [[CPR]] and [[antibiotic]]s, but to no avail.

The report identified the cause of death of Lisa McPherson as a [[Thrombosis|Thrombo]]-[[embolism]] on the left pulmonary artery caused by "bed rest and severe dehydration" and the manner of death as "undetermined".<ref>[http://www.lisamcpherson.org/coroner.gif Web Site: LisaMcPherson.org, Coroner's Report]</ref> The report also identified multiple [[hematoma]]s (bruises), an abrasion on the nose and [[lesions]] consistent with "insect/animal bites" in the right lower arm just above the wrist. <ref>[ http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/CoS/autopsy.html Web site: Lisa McPherson: Coroner's Report transcript]</ref> <ref>[http://whyaretheydead.net/lisa_mcpherson/autopsy/autopsy_03/ Autopsy Photos - Lisa McPherson] (Caution: Disturbing photos)</ref>

On January 21, 1997, Wood went public on the TV show [[Inside Edition]] and stated that the autopsy showed McPherson had deteriorated slowly, going without fluids for five to 10 days, was underweight, had cockroach bites and was comatose from 24 to 48 hours before she died.<ref>[http://www.whyaretheydead.net/lisa_mcpherson/is-jan.html] Website: whyaretheydead.net , Inside Edition Transcript </ref>

The Church of Scientology legal team proceeded to sue Carol Wood to gain access to Wood's files; including tissue, organ and blood samples from McPherson's body. The lawsuit argued that Wood waived any right to keep her records on the case closed when she spoke openly about the case with news reporters. The Church alleged that the records were needed to start their legal defense. These records were previously denied to the Church because they were part of an on going criminal investigation.<ref name="Church sues medical examiner">[http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/16997614.html?dids=16997614:16997614&FMT=FT&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jan+29%2C+1997&author=THOMAS+C.+TOBIN&pub=St.+Petersburg+Times&edition=&startpage=1.B&desc=Church+sues+medical+examiner Church sues medical examiner], Thomas C. Tobin, St. Petersburg Times, Jan 29, 1997</ref>

===Independent opinion===
The ''[[St. Petersburg Times]]'' contacted five medical experts for their opinions about the report, and they confirmed it. The Church of Scientology responded that the five doctors should have been given the entire autopsy report, not just the [[vitreous fluid]] tests, which pathologists use to determine the composition of blood at the time before death.<ref>{{cite book |last=Di Maio |first=Vincent J.

===The Church hires forensic pathologists===
The Church hired its own team to oppose Wood’s findings, including two nationally known [[Forensic pathology|forensic pathologists]]: Dr. [[Michael Baden]], a former Chief [[Coroner|Medical Examiner]] for the City of [[New York City|New York]], and Dr. [[Cyril Wecht]], a county coroner from Pittsburgh. Dr's. Baden and Wecht concluded that McPherson, 36, died suddenly and unpredictably of a [[Thrombus|blood clot]] in her left lung that originated from a knee bruise she suffered in a minor [[automobile]] accident 17 days earlier.<ref name="Doctors paid by church give defense"> [http://www.sptimes.com/News/030700/TampaBay/Doctors_paid_by_churc.shtml Doctors paid by church give defense], Thomas C. Tobin, St. Petersburg Times, Jan 29, 1997</ref>

This scientific evidence was then sent to Joan Wood for review.<ref name="Scientology prompts review of death case"> [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/46632804.html?dids=46632804:46632804&FMT=FT&FMTS=CITE:FT&date=Nov+24%2C+1999&author=THOMAS+C.+TOBIN&pub=St.+Petersburg+Times&edition=&startpage=1.B&desc=Scientology+prompts+review+of+death+case Scientology prompts review of death case], Thomas C. Tobin, St. Petersburg Times, Nov 24, 1999 </ref> The scientific evidence sent to Wood included:
*Research on compounds known as [[ketones]], which people produce when they are dehydrated, starving or even fasting. Tests of McPherson's bodily fluids showed no ketones.<ref name="Church member's death now called accident"/>
*Findings from a body measurement expert hired by the church. The expert compared autopsy photos of McPherson with those taken in happier times, shortly before the accident. The expert concluded from the photographs there was "no appreciable weight loss," countering the prosecution's view that McPherson lost 20 to 40 pounds while in Scientology's care.<ref name="Church member's death now called accident"/>
*A report by a Morton Plant Hospital doctor who saw McPherson just before she entered Scientology's Fort Harrison Hotel, McPherson already was thin with protruding cheek bones.<ref name="record">[http://www.sptimes.com/News/032600/TampaBay/Records_outline_Scien.shtml Records outline Scientology case], THOMAS C. TOBIN, St. Petersburg Times, March 26, 2000</ref>
*A report by Robert D. Davis, the pathologist who conducted the autopsy for Wood's office, concluded McPherson's body was of average nutritional status.<ref name="record"/>
* Medical literature and sworn testimony that it says proves the eye fluid samples were improperly handled by Wood's office, incompetently tested at an independent lab and ultimately contaminated.<ref name="record"/>
Also notable was that Wood did not do McPherson's autopsy personally but assigned it to Robert Davis, an employee who later was asked to resign and was a witness for the defendant (Scientology). He disputed Wood's conclusions and testified that she did not speak to him about her findings before signing his autopsy after he had resigned.<ref name="Drops charges">{{cite news |first=Thomas C. |last=Tobin |title=State drops charges against Scientology |url=http://www.sptimes.com/News/061300/TampaBay/State_drops_charges_a.shtml |work=[[St. Petersburg Times]] |date=2000-06-13 |accessdate=2007-04-22}}</ref>

The plaintiff's response was that that the [[chain of custody]] of evidence was not broken (also corroborated by Crow's memo<ref>[http://lisatrust.freewinds.cx/legal/lisa-criminal/crow-drop.htm Douglas Crow recommends dropping the Lisa McPherson criminal case]</ref>) {{quote|They simply argue that the McPherson postmortem test results of fluid,... cannot be relied upon.... They apparently ignore the testimony of Robert Davis, M.D., Joan Wood, M.D., David Minkoff, M.D., Janice Johnson, M.D., attendant staffer Rita Boykin, attendant staffer Heather Hof Petzold, the ER personnel, and the two autopsy technicians, Stodgell and Daerr.}} Due to the vitreous fluid tests, they maintained that she was dehydrated. Chemical pathologists Calvin Bandt and Spitz concurred with the initial coroner's report in their affidavits.<ref>[http://www.holysmoke.org/lm/lm242.htm Bandt and Spitz affidavits in Lisa wrongful death suit]</ref> Referring to Dr. Minkoff's affirmative testimony of McPherson described with "hollowed-out eyes ... thin skin ... and did she look dehydrated, yes", plaintiff said even still the abovementioned Scientology experts "opine Lisa McPherson was not dehydrated in appearance and therefore it is error to look at the post mortem chemistries." Plaintiff witness Dr. Alan Wu also testified that ketones need not be present for dehydration in a special case like McPherson where she was fed proteins and therefore didn't create measurable ketones.<ref>[http://www.whyaretheydead.net/lisa_mcpherson/legal/summary.htm Opposition to Summary Judgment]</ref> The plaintiffs maintained that Lisa did lose water weight to result in 108 lbs with respect to the vitreous fluid.<ref>[http://www.lisamcpherson.org/dandar_01.htm Lisa McPherson case - Response to Frye Hearing]</ref>

===Final coroner's report===
In light of the new scientific evidence provided by the church, a review was mandated by the policy manual which says the medical examiner will "readdress key issues" in a case if "credible new evidence is presented, regardless of its source".<ref name="Church member's death now called accident"/>
After the review Wood changed the cause of death from "undetermined" to an "accident". Wood traced McPherson's [[pulmonary embolism]] to her psychosis and a minor auto accident as major factors.<ref name="Church member's death now called accident"/>

==Criminal case review==
Wood’s review caused the review and dismissal of the Lisa McPherson’s death criminal case.<ref>[http://www.sptimes.com/News/040400/TampaBay/Scientology_to_argue_.2.shtml Scientology to argue for dismissal of case] Thomas C. Tobin, ''St. Petersburg Times'', 4 April 2000</ref> The review was done by assistant State Attorney Douglas Crow and is outlined in the 31 page memo that he sent to State Attorney Bernie McCabe recommending to drop the criminal case against the Church of Scientology.<ref name="Crow Memo"/>

=== The initial autopsy===
Crow stated that there were credibility issues with the original autopsy, including that had Wood signed the autopsy herself five months after Davis' departure, failed to examine tissue samples and did not consult clinical experts before reaching her conclusion. He also pointed out to other mistakes done by Wood like releasing the autopsy report on an active criminal case and going public on national media.<ref name="Crow Memo"/>

===Robert Davis' testimony===
Medical examiner Robert Davis changed his testimony from 1997 deposition given in the civil case and to strongly disagree that Lisa was severely dehydrated. Also he made a series of accusations against the Medical Examiner's Office's handling of the case and questioned their motive. Davis stated that Wood was not present during the autopsy and did not consult him when she signed the autopsy.<ref name="Crow Memo"/>

===Destruction of evidence===
Crow noted that the failure by Medical Examiner's Office to follow its own policies to preserve evidence, releasing the body for cremation before a cause of death had been determined and destroying Davis’ autopsy notes will be used to attack Wood’s credibility.<ref name="Crow Memo"/>

===Wood's explanation of the autopsy changes===
The primary reason Wood gave for changing her findings was her realization that the microscopic slides of the popliteal vein and the photographs of muscle tissue in the surrounding area provided evidence of trauma which could explain the thrombus formation. She could not explain why she had not seen this before.<ref name="Crow Memo"/>

Crow was highly critical of Wood in his memo stating:
{{quote|Her explanations concerning the reasoning behind the changes have been illogical and inconsistent. She vacillated in her conclusions even as she prepared the amended certificate. After talking to Joe Davis she executed a notarized change in the death certificate to accident and removed dehydration and bed rest as causative factors. She then reconsidered that decision and resolved to change the manner of death to homicide with dehydration listed as one of multiple factors and then again changed her mind the next morning, deciding to follow Joe Davis' initial advice.<sub>'''Douglas E. Crow'''</sub>}}

Crow also mentioned a unique set of circumstances that put Wood under tremendous pressure and might have impacted the quality of her judgment. These being:
# Wood’s appearance on national television left her more vulnerable to litigation and committed her to a forensic position that would make any modification professionally embarrassing.
# The fact that Robert Davis, the forensic examiner that actually did the autopsy, was critical of her conclusions.
# The defense suggestion that if forced to litigate it would reveal information extremely damaging to Wood's office and her career.

===Conclusion===
Crow concluded that even though there was probable cause, the actions and testimony of Wood had so muddied the facts that there wasn’t enough credible evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, and recommended the dismissal of all charges.<ref name="Crow Memo"/>
{{quote|While nothing in the review has caused me to believe that the central premises behind the prosecution are erroneous, our ability to establish these necessary facts beyond a reasonable doubt has clearly been compromised. While Dr. Wood is an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable expert who is a formidable witness when defending a valid position, her inability to coherently explain her decision even under benign questioning by me is completely perplexing. Because of Wood's admission of a serious forensic error, her illogical and unfortunately inconsistent justifications of her decision to change the death certificate and autopsy report, the inconsistency between the changes made in the death certificate and the forensic basis for our charges, her continuing equivocation on issues central to the criminal case, and the very real possibility that the cause of death listed by the Medical Examiner's Office is incorrect, I have come to the conclusion that presentation of the Medical Examiner's current testimony to a jury will create a reasonable doubt on crucial forensic issues. When combined with existing problems in the case, it is my recommendation that we should not continue to pursue the prosecution. <sub>'''Douglas E. Crow'''</sub>}}

2000
* February 23 - Medical examiner Joan Wood changed the cause of death of Lisa McPherson to an "accident." "Gone from the new report is the original reference to the bed rest and dehydration.

But she lists McPherson's psychosis and a minor auto accident as major factors."<ref name="Church member's death now called accident"/>
* March 8 - A group of more than 200 Scientologists moved to have the criminal case dismissed on the claim that it had "chilled the religious rights of every Scientologist" and that other Scientologists were now being treated with concern, suspicion or ridicule by non-Scientologists. A central point of the motion was that McPherson had undergone the Introspection Rundown, which the brief putting forth the motion called an "entirely religious" practice.<ref>{{cite news |first = Thomas C. |last = Tobin |title= Scientologists decry toll of criminal case |url=http://www.sptimes.com/News/030900/TampaBay/Scientologists_decry_.shtml |work=[[St. Petersburg Times]] |date=2000-03-09 |accessdate=2007-04-08}}</ref>
