A few points. I don't have a link to the AR, I'm typing this out from the paper copy I made. All color and bolding by me.
Things we have seen already, from page 7:
On the anterolateral mid left shin there is a 1 x 5/8 inch gray piece of material and two smaller similar pieces just distal to it, measuring 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch (Comment: appears similar to tape residue). On the lateral distal right lower leg there is a 1-1/4 x 5/8 inch area consisting of three horizontally oriented, parallel, somewhat evenly spaced, areas of sticky, tan-gray apparent tape residue. They are situated between 3/16 and 5/16 inch apart.
Now, compare that to this, page 11:
RIGHT LOWER EXTREMITY
There are contusions in the area subjacent to the ligatures around the lower legs. On the posterior distal right lower leg there is an obliquely oriented, 2 x 1/4 inch, red contusion. Just distal to this is a 3-1/2 x 1/2 inch red contusion. Both angle upward as they move medially. There are also gray parallel compression marks distal to this but no red discoloration. On the posterior distal right lower leg, just lateral to where the contour of the Achilles tendon merges with the calf, there is a 1 x 1/2 inch red contusion. On the anterior aspect of the proximal right ankle there is a 2 x 1 inch red contusion. On the anterior aspect of the proximal right ankle there is a 2 x 1 inch red contusion with a centeral area of pallor. Just proximal to this there is an ill-defined, 1-3/4 x 1 inch apparent red contusion. On the dorsomedial aspect of the mid right foot there is a 2-1/8 x 1/2 inch group of four discrete red abrasion ranging from punctate to 1/4 inch.
On the anterior mid right shin there is a 2 x 1 inch subcutaneous hemorrhage without overlying skin changes.
On the posterolateral right thigh there are two blue contusions measuring 3/4 x 3/8 inch and 3/8 x 3/8 inch.
and page 12:
LEFT LOWER EXTREMITY
On the posterior mid left calf there is an obliquely oriented, 1-1/8 inch, thin, linear red abrasion. In the area subjacent to the ligatures around the lower legs there are red contusions. On the anterior left ankle, just left of midline, there is a 1-1/2 x 3/4 inch red contusion. On the medial left ankle, just proximal to the left medial malleolus, there is a 3/4 inch diameter red contusion. On the posterior distal left calf there is a 3/8 inch diameter red contusion. Subjacent to it there is a corresponding subcutaneous hemorrhage. Just distal to this and extending onto the lateral side of the distal left lower leg there is a 3/4 x 1/4 inch bluish contusion. Just distal to this is a 1 1/4 x 1/2 inch horizontally oriented, red contusion. On the anterolateral mid left lower leg there is a 1/2 inch diameter subcutaneous hemorrhage unassociated with a contusion visible on the surface of the skin. There is no other subcutaneous hemorrhage associated with the contusions described.
On the anterolateral and lateral aspect of the lower leg covering most of this area, there is a 7-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch group of dispersed, variably oriented, linear and small, irregular red abrasions. Many of the thin linear abrasions are angled from posterior and inferior to anterior and superior. They measure up to 1-1/2 inches. There are other perpendicular linear abrasions measuring up to 3/4 inches. The irregular abrasions measure up to 1/4 inch. On the posterolaterl left knee and proximal left popliteal fossa there are three linear, nearly vertically oriented, red abrasions measuring up to 1/2 inch and a single 1/8 inch red abrasion.
Please keep in mind, from my understanding, when they say contusion they mean bruise in layman's terms. So, to recap, they found tape on her lower legs, left mid shin, on the outside toward her back, three separate areas of tape residue and she has
14 (or more depending upon how you read it) SEPARATE bruises. Her right leg had three separate areas with tape, closely aligned (between 3/16 and 5/16 inch apart) and
8 bruises, not counting the ones on her foot that could have been the cactus. This doesn't say "punctate", which is mentioned in other parts - mostly her back, which could be accounted for by the cactus under the balcony. How, how, how did her legs get so beaten and bruised from diving off that balcony, ESPECIALLY if the head wounds are to be accounted for by the balcony railing? That would imply to me that her head took the brunt of the fall. She was 26 1/2" from the ground, it wasn't the cactus and I don't belive the cactus would bruise like that, just put puncture holes like they mention on her back. Added to the fact that they find tape residue on her legs.......you be the judge. And how does her back get so beaten and bruised, but her chest is untouched and there are three abrasions on her abdomen? Shouldn't there only be one from going over the railing?
From page 10:
:waitasec:
Also page 9:
HEAD AND NECK:
Posteriorly, there is a parallel, thin, red line situated 1/8 inch below the dried ligature furrow for a distance of 2-1/2 inches and separated from it by an area of pallor.
and, same page, same section:
On the lateral and anterolateral right neck, roughly parallel with the ligature furrow above the thyroid cartilage and the 2-3/4 inch red extension on the right neck, and perpendicular to the pale compression furrow on the posterolateral right neck, there is a pair of thin linear marks. They converge from being separated by a distance of 1 inch posteriorly to a distance of 1/2 inch anteriorly, just to the right of the midline.
I'm not Quincy, but this all looks really hinky to me. Thought I would point it out.
