Michelle was hit in bed, probably asleep on her back. She was so brutally hit, her lip was split and her teeth extracted. I'm quite sure when she awoke she fought back.
This wasn't a fight between two women...ie:brawl....this was a brutal, horrendous attack. Go back and review the medical examiner's report. Please notice her crushed jaw, her MANY fractures of her skull....so many in fact, they ran together. Her scalp literally gaped open.
Yes, she fought back, but to no avail as she was no match for someone Slayer's size, not to mention a weapon such as a bat or pipe....again review medical examiner report...ie: oval shaped marks from blows on her body. Please notice her hands....so bruised from defensive wounds he couldn't count the number of bruises as they all ran together.
Slayer also attempted a strangulation but poor Michelle was still alive so he finished her off in a raged filled overkill.
Imagine looking in the eyes of your husband, the father of your children and knowing he is attacking you. Imagine looking in those wild eyes filled with hatred as you take your last breath.......welcome to the last minutes of Michelle Fisher Young.
