I know many posters have questioned why RA would tell LE that his wife was "hurt." It seems like an odd choice of words given the situation. I realized the other day when I was rereading threads and initial media coverage of Janet's murder that, that it was a reporter who used the word "hurt," not RA.There is no direct quote from RA using the word "hurt." It was a word the reporter chose to use. Here is the article:
Search Warrant Reveals Details In Stabbing Of Durham Woman, May 3, 2005:

Note that in another article, a different reporter uses the word "injured."
Woman's Body Found in Home, April 28, 2005:

Point being that even a single word can "spin" a story in one direction or another, causing lots of confusion and speculation.
