Evidence of Injury Part 2

Yesterday we went over 20 of the wounds listed in Jessie's autopsy report. 

It is with a queasy stomach I will finish that here today. I will post the description of some of these words below the list for your convenience. I had to look a lot of them up during my research and I figure understanding it would be a lot easier if I did that for you. 

1. Extending on the posterior right forearm is a 3/4 inch pink contusion.
2. Multiple blue- pink contusions involve the medial right forearm, ranging from 1/16 to 2-1/4 inches in greatest dimension. 
3. Purple-pink contusions, 1/8 inch to 1-1/2 inches, involve the posterior right hand and the posterior digits of the right hand. A 5/8 inch orange abrasion is on the posterior medial right hand. The 4th digit of the right hand is fractured. The anterior surface (palm side) of the right thumb has a 3/16 inch red abrasion.
4. A 1/2 inch blue contusion involves the anterior left shoulder.
5. Red-orange abrasions are on the posterior left upper arm, ranging from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.
6. A 3/8 inch blue contusion involves the left antecubital fossa and a 1-3/4 by 3/4 inch blue contusion involves the anterior medial left antecubital fossa. (this is the inside bend of the elbow)
7. The anterior left forearm has a 1-3/4 by 1 inches blue contusion.
8. A 7/8 inch blue contusion involves the medial left forearm.
9. Petechial hemorrhages are present on the anterior left wrist and the posterior left hand. 
10. The posterior left hand and the posterior digits of the left hand have 1/4 inch to 2-1/2 inches purple contusions. The posterior left hand and the posterior digits of the left hand have orange-red abrasions measuring 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch.
11. Purple contusions involve the left palm, ranging from 3/8 inch to 1 inch.
12. A 4-3/4 by 5/8 inch blue contusion is on the anterior right thigh.  The lateral right thigh has a 2-3/4 by 1-1/2 inch red abrasion. A 4 by 1/2 inches yellow-pink abrasion is on the posterior right thigh and a 2 by 3/8 inches red-orange abrasion is on the posterior lateral right thigh. 
13. The anterior right lower leg has red-pink contusions, 1/16 inch to 1-1/2 inches and red-orange abrasions, 1/16 inch to 1-3/4 inches.
14. Blue contusions and red abrasions involve the right foot. The abrasions and contusions range from 3/8 inch to 2 inches.
15. The posterior left thigh was scattered faint blue contusions, ranging from 1/2 inch to 2-1/2 inches. Present on the lateral left lower leg ar faint blue-pink contusions, ranging from 1/4 inch to 1-1/8 inches.

Contusion- a bruise

Lateral-  (in terms of which side/part of the arm)- For humans, the arms are in anatomical position when hanging at the sides of the body, palms forward, and the legs are in the anatomical position in a normal standing posture, feet side by side. This means that the pinky side of the wrist is medial, and the thumb side is lateral.

Posterior- meaning the back

Abrasion- an area damaged by scraping or wearing away.

Medial- The middle, nearest center

Anterior- Near the front 

    I'm hoping this gives everyone an idea of how cold and violent a person or persons had to be in order to inflict all of this. 

You have to think of this as well, at some point she was down on the ground, unable to stand, and instead of strangling her, or suffocating her which would have been less painful and quick, they chose to continue to beat her. That was a choice, all of it was a choice, but that particular choice should show that one little woman did not do this. I agree she knew about it, she may have even taken part in it. She is exactly where she should be for not turning in every party involved.
Until next time...
