The autopsy photo of the abrasion/contusion on JonBenets right shoulder was not part of the photos leaked by
The Globe. NBC showed a censored photo in a news program which obscured all but the injury. Its difficult to make out the orientation of the injury in a screen capture of that photo, but here is what was shown on TV by NBC:

This is the injury described by Dr. Meyer in the passage quoted by
questfortrue above in Post #589. Because some here (Im sure) would rather not have to look at the more graphic version of this autopsy photo, I wont post it here for public viewing. I posted a link to it once before with an explanation and with her face obscured in the following post:

For those who feel they really need to see it uncensored (and since it isnt widely reproduced), Ill post the original in my photos folder here at WS so only logged in members can view it. (I saw that someone had posted this uncensored photo here not long ago, but I wont do it.)
Its difficult to make out in this photo the direction of the abrasion. But if we knew, that
might help figure out how it
could have happened. I dont think it is from a shoe, but rather from either her shoulder being dragged across some surface -- or the surface of something being dragged across her shoulder. I
do think it was a fresh scrape, and I wonder if there was a corresponding blood spot inside the shirt she was wearing when found -- or maybe even the Barbie nightgown found with her that we know
did have her blood on it. Perhaps this is where that blood came from instead of (as people have speculated) on the outside of the nightgown.
I believe this scrape might have happened in the instant she collapsed from the head blow. In my theory, the cord was tied loosely around her neck and affixed to something in the area outside the WC (possibly the doorknob). When she was struck over the head, she collapsed, the cord tightened, and her shoulder might have scraped against the wall as her body bumped against it and fell.
This is similar to the circumstances of Robin Williams suspension, except of course that his was intentional. He was suspended close to the wall at a closet doorway. When found, his right shoulder had rubbed against the wall raising his shirt sleeve up on his shoulder as the weight of his body slid down. If we knew the direction of the abraded area on JonBenets shoulder, it might tell us something about how it occurred.
