What's your opinion on how and when she got the bruises?
This was my biggest sticking point in holding out the idea that it might have been possible there was an intruder...someone else on here posted that the bruises didn't look like they fit with a hand to hand struggle...which I hadn't thought of, but that makes sense. I was reacting to how deep and black they were, pretty compelling. I also didn't agree with the jury saying her son gave them to her. No way could a child his age inflict that kind of damage on an adult. The other poster floated a theory that they could have been from slamming a door on her arm, that makes some sense to me.
She could have gone home and inflicted the bruises on herself to bulk up the struggle angle...
Medea, a couple of months ago I posted some photos of bruises I got.

They were self-inflicted. I only posted them because the position, size and shape reminded me of Darlie's bruises.
Not everyone agreed that they were in any way similar.
Now, of course, it is perfectly plain that all I had to do was order those people to look harder, and hey, presto, they would have been identical! :doh:
