How do we know?[edit]

"He waited in a nearby wooded area, remaining concealed in the brush and leaves until the search widened and he could continue running."

Where's that claim from? Who saw him there? Where's proof for that?

The sequence of events are confusing and are not in order in the following paragraph;

Garrow was treated at CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, NY, where doctors denied his claims of paralysis.[3] He sued the State of New York for $10 million, alleging that the state's doctors had been negligent in treating the gunshot wound which led to his alleged paralysis. He was moved to a medium security prison in exchange for dropping the lawsuit and was later found to be faking his paralysis.[4] Garrow pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but the jury rejected it and found him guilty of murder in the second degree, sentencing him to a term of 25 years to life in prison. Garrow began his sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility (maximum security) in Dannemora, NY, on July 2, 1974. Due to his alleged paralysis, however, Garrow repeatedly requested transfer to the Elderly and Handicapped Unit (minimum security) within the medium-security Fishkill Correctional Facility. In September, 1977, a death threat against Garrow prompted his transfer to Auburn Correctional Facility (maximum security). It was not until early 1978 that Garrow was transferred to Fishkill.[3]

It isn't clear when Garrow was sentenced and how that compares to his claims of paralysis and a possible lawsuit he initiated.66.30.203.47 (talk) 23:49, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
