Or a woman.

That's a threat your dad would say to you when you're 12 and being an asshole.

I'll throw you through this fucking wall.

So the autopsy comes.

They perform it the next day.

And remember, he said she fell downstairs and that was it.

Here's what she has.

Quote, a blackened left eye, a large bruise on the left cheek, a through and through laceration on the lip.

So totally split the lip open.

A large impact abrasion on the left side of the skull where the skin had been scraped away and a smaller one on the right side.

Petechial hemorrhages, which are the bursts in the eyes and the skin associated with strangulation on the right temple and lower right eyelid bruising along the left jawline and the neck itself.

A voice box bruised on both the left and right sides.

bruising on the left collarbone, four or five fractured ribs, abrasions on both knees and the left ankle, torn pantyhose at the knees and left ankle, and a bruise on the back of the right hand that they suspected was a defensive injury when you're trying to block your face.

So unless she got dropped from an airplane down the stairs.

Oh, she jumped down those stairs.

That's the craziest list of injuries.

Unless the stairway was 14 stories long.

And she tumbled down it but only landed on her head the whole way down.

Her head, her neck, her voice box, you know, strangled, beaten stuff.

Inside her skull, they found bruising under the scalp on both the left and right backside of the skull with skull fractures on both sides above and behind the ears.
