Hi, Nancy.

So what I read about her injuries sort of line up with what Coles said.

Complex scalp lacerations do look a lot worse than they are.

We all know that when you get a head injury, they bleed like stink.

Now, this is not to justify what he did to her.

It sounds suspicious to me all the way around.

The circumstances do not line up.

She didn't run away.

He did run away.

I mean, there's certain things.

Now, as far as bashing her skull in, it is my understanding that she did not have any skull fractures.

She was evaluated overnight and didn't have any evidence of a traumatic brain injury or a concussion.

traumatic brain injuries don't always result in unconsciousness you can have a traumatic brain injury that lingers that comes on later that has residual effect you can see in the in the video of her being tended to by these two women she's clearly disoriented and not steady on her feet so something's wrong she got her her bell rung and uh

So, you know, as far as the injuries go, it doesn't sound like they were as extensive as maybe what it looks like or appears to be on the video.

However, that doesn't excuse what he did and the injuries that she suffered as a result of that.

Well, having a rock blown against your head would definitely cause you to be a little unsteady on your feet, depending on how many times or how hard.

Obviously, as was mentioned previously, she did suffer a broken thumb, which indicates to me that she was probably trying to block the blows to her head.

And so she suffered additional injuries to her hand.

So it sounds like it was a pretty traumatic event.

And those kind of blows that would cause these kind of complex lacerations are different than just a straight laceration.
