Do these bruises look familiar?

Yeah it's just hard to believe those bruises were blunt force trauma when there's no other injuries, no broken bones, no head injuries,no facial injuries, no chest injuries so it's hard to reconcile what was used to injure the arm that badly and nowhere else.

Self-infliction cannot be ruled out as a cause.

This doesn't mean anything really, but I couldn't be notice that my husband has bruises on one arm that looked so much like Darlie's. He had a very long back surgery with lots of IV's and restraint while on the ventilator in SICU. Only on one side of the arm like hers. I still think hers were done in the hospital due to iv's or from knicking the bone and vessels with the knife.

Totally agree. I think that the bruising is a red herring for the most part.
