When I saw Jodi's finger the first time, I said to myself, "BS, this isn't from a kick and possibly broken finger. Her bones are straight as can be!!" When I was 5 years old my mother broke a platter washing dishes cutting her ring finger. It was so deep, the finger tendon was cut. The surgeon screwed up (1959) and let the cut heal before wanting to operate to re attach the tendon. Well the tendon had snapped down into her palm area and could not be stretched up to her finger after so much time had passed. My mother's finger to this day actually looks like the "curved finger with straight bones" that Jodie attempted to show the jury.
My mother and I discussed this extensively. My mother said if she cut so deep like she did to cut that tendon, she would have bleed profusely all over the place. Neither one of us believed she cut her finger so deep to cut the tendon to prevent her finger to flex.
