That’s what infuriated me about that ME’s testimony that his head injury wasn’t that bad. Did she see a CT scan? Just because it doesn’t require stiches, doesn’t mean it isn’t bad!
Indeed!
I had a head injury in 2006 as a result of a car accident. No stitches. Blood from the ear, swelled brain, fractured cranium (might explain a few things, but I digress).
Things aren’t always as they appear on the exterior, and absent a CT scan or MRI, or other evaluative testing, that ME’s testimony means nothing.
