If I'd seen the body, then I'd have known for sure

"The body's in an airtight casket, but it'll be even more deteriorated now than it was a year ago when they recommended you not look at it."

"Of course," he said, "exhumation of the body won't answer the main question

"Well, there's no urgent legal reason to have the body exhumed

As he entered her, she let her hands travel over his body, along his lean flanks.

The exhumation of Danny's body would be good for her, regardless of the horror that she might have to confront when the coffin lid was raised

He spent an hour and a half in his library, paging through legal casebooks, boning up on precedents for the exhumation of a body that, as the court had put it, "was to be disinterred in the absence of a pressing legal need, solely for humane reasons, in consideration of certain survivors of the deceased." Elliot didn't think Harold Kennebeck would give him any trouble, and he didn't expect the judge to request a list of precedents for something as relatively simple and harmless as reopening Danny's grave, but he intended to be well prepared

Now, for the judge's benefit, and to explain why an exhumation had suddenly become such a vital matter, Elliot exaggerated the anguish and confusion that Tina had undergone as a direct consequence of never having seen the body of her child.

If the body were exhumed and reexamined by a top-notch pathologist, we'd almost certainly find proof that the cause of death wasn't what the authorities originally said it was."

The hotel doctor would call it a heart attack after he had examined the body

Evans felt guilty about not having had the courage to view the boy's mutilated body prior to the burial

In the meantime, Network agents could have located a boy's body in the same state of decay, as Danny's corpse would have been if it had been locked in that coffin for the past year
