I had forgotten about this report, with respect to the facial scratches.
June 13, 2012
At 3pm, Mr Baden-Clay was arrested at the Toowong Towers car park. Police allege the scratches on Mr Baden-Clay's face
have scarred and have been "partially obscured by beard growth".

A government medical officer advises police
a shaving cut is "usually a epidermal nick and
is not likely to scar given that they don't break the dermis. A non-intimate forensic order is requested to shave the relevant part of Mr Baden-Clay's face, examine and take photograph of the injuries".

Hopefully the results of that test showed that there was in fact scarring. Have we heard?
Not that ANYONE is buying the shaving cuts story it seems.
Right from the first police officers noting them with alarm, and calling CIB stright away, to his own solicitor, to ALL the medical personel and experts.
GBC saw his solicitor on the afternoon of the same day he reported Allison as missing, and he went to the 3 doctors to have the scratches reviewed and reported on the next day, the first being at 8.30am!
It would appear to me that his solicitor might have recommended he do this, not the police, as GBC told the doctors.
They obviously didn't get the report they were hoping for from any of them, or they would have used it, surely, instead of just saying...
"the scratches were circumstantial and there was no definitive cause and age of the marks." (Peter Davis, 2nd bail hearing.)
MOO
