I've also read the bruises didn't show up until later,is it possible they got into another fight after she got out of the hospital,either that, or the bruises just needed time to come to the surface and show up?Any thoughts?
This is going to come as a shock to everyone here, but I have a few thoughts about the bruises (no boo-ing from the audience, and yes, I'm talking about Jeana and Cami, lol!)
JMO, here's how it shakes out:
1. The murders occurred on 6/6. The bruises didn't show up until 6/10.
2. Darlie was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days, during which time her right arm was checked by nurses and doctors every day, including the day she was discharged. No bruising, no swelling, no redness.
3. Every single doctor and nurse testified that, at the very least, there would have been red discoloration and some swelling on her right arm within 24 to 48 hours after suffering enough blunt trauma to cause the deep purple bruises photographed on 6/10.
The only reasonable explanation is that Darlie inflicted the blunt trauma to her right arm
after she left the hospital. Could Darin have beat her after she was discharged? No, I don't think so. If he had, you would expect bruises on both arms, not just her right arm.
The ICU nurse testified that Darlie became very agitated when the police photographed her wounds in the hospital. Why? Well, I think it's because she knew her arms had no bruises, and she'd already told a zillion people that she'd fought and struggled with a really big intruder.
She couldn't undo what she'd already stated to police, so she tried to make the evidence fit her story. Darlie tried her best, but she was really bad at it.
