I don't think she did. Like most of her story, she seems to think we should know where the bruises came from, why she didn't scream...etc....
Her supporters talk about those big bruises and say no way could she hurt herself like that. Darlie herself has never mentioned being beaten with a blunt object during her so-called struggle. Again, she just leaves that to us.
This is as close to it she got under testimony:
5 Q. If you saw a man attacking your
6 children, you would scream your head off, wouldn't you?
7 A. Yes, sir, unless my mouth was covered.
8 Q. You would scream for your husband,
9 wouldn't you?
10 A. Unless my mouth was covered, yes, sir.
11 Q. You didn't have any problems screaming
12 for him when he finally got up and came down there, did
13 you?
14 A. My mouth was not covered.
15 Q. Did you find any tape, or any gauze or
16 anything stuffed in your mouth that showed it to be
17 covered?
18 A. No, just except for that it was torn
19 up inside.
20 Q. Okay. It was all torn up inside.
21 A. Well, it felt raw.
22 Q. Did you talk to the doctors about
23 that?
24 A. I talked to the nurse about that, yes,
25 I did.

She doesn't address the sock at all except when questioned about the coincidence that it was found behind Glenn Mize's house, a man she disliked immensely. I guess the stuffed in the mouth explanation was created by supporters to account for her DNA on the sock.
Also, the blunt object could have been the floor, a wall, a countertop, possibly even a door. It just has to be a flat surface with no edges to leave marks.
