Forensics of Michelle Field's Bruised Arm in Lewandowski Case
Gun Watch ^ | 2 April, 2016 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 04/01/2016 2:59:55 PM PDT by marktwain


Above is the celebrated self photo of Michelle Fields bruised arm.  I invite forensic experts to analyze the pattern of the bruises.  I am not a forensic expert, but there are a few questions I have for those who are.

In the complaint taken by the Jupiter Police Department,  officer Marc Bujnowski says that he observed the bruises on 29 March, 2016.

This is Ms Fields left arm.  It is alleged that Mr. Lewandowski grabbed her with his right hand, causing the bruises.   He is alleged to have grabbed the left arm from behind and to the left of Ms Fields.  My questions for the forensic experts on bruising are:

1. The biggest, bruise appears to be highest up on the arm, while the smallest seems to be lowest.  There appears to be a bruise for each of four fingers.  Is this typical bruising for a grab?

2.  If typical, does it indicate that the hand doing the bruising had the forefinger on the upper part of the arm, and the pinky on the lower part of the arm?

3.  Is the grip in a reasonable position for the right hand of a person, approaching from behind, to grab the left arm of a person in front of them?

4.  Could the bruises be self inflicted?

My amateur expectations of the answers, done with a few geometrical exercises with a lady neighbor, are that the positioning of the bruises are consistent with both a grab from behind, right hand to left arm, and self inflicted bruises, right hand to left arm.

Measurement of the spacing of the bruises might give an indication if they are consistent with the hand size of either Mr. Lewandowski or Michelle Fields.  But, that is unclear, because there is spacing between the individual bruises.

Some have suggested that because Ms Fields was wearing a jacket, the bruises are unusually distinct; that a jacket would blur the bruises into a single mark.  I would like forensic experts to opine on that possibility.

Can anyone answer these forensic questions about the bruises?

We will see. I thought the forensic evidence might be useful, one way or the other.

It may be inconclusive.

I don’t understand the dismissive comment.

I thought it was a valid subject, especially given the history on FR of bringing to light shady doings of the media, of which this is one.

I do hope that someone could shed some light on this, that would be interesting.
Until then, I will believe that the bruising was somehow caused by a reporter not wanting to write a story, but wanting to be the story.

Seen better bruises on an over-ripe banana.

She’s a drama queen and she instigated it by grabbing Trump The Secret Service agents even stated that SHE started it.

To me, they look self inflicted...go ahead....grab your left forearm with your right hand....now look at the fingers and the placement of her alleged “bruises”,

This chick is nothing more than a publicity whore who is looking for some quick cash. She should be horsewhipped for this lie!

I am surprised that she didn’t ask for CPR.

There was also a report on FR from a viewing of different angle videos that any “grab” appeared to be at the upper arm near the shoulder. If that is accurate, then the lower forearm bruises are not credible.

My humble conclusion is that the bruises were caused by her right hand reaching over and grabbing her left arm.

Right hand grab on her left arm from behind, with the biggest bruise toward the rear, if I understand correctly? The guy has a BIG pinky finger. Or did he grab from underneath?

My wife can bruise much more severely just getting out of bed and walking into the kitchen. I’m talking purple stuff that lasts for days. No biggie.

I care! I want this Fraud prosecuted. I am a woman who has actually been assaulted and suffered hospitalization and severe PTSD. I know what a real assault is! And it ain’t what happened to Fields. This woman is a disgrace to every woman who has ever suffered battery. She should be prosecuted and shamed for what she has done.

In the video he extended out is left arm, not his right. Regardless, this case is going nowhere. Secret Service asked her twice to move back from Trump, and she chose to ignore those requests. Anyone aiding a law enforcement officer is not chargeable for assault, as Crowder explained.

Try doing a self test on your own arms. Try a forceful smash on your exposed forearm and then try a hard grab and see if there is any ‘bruising’. I did it both to my exposed arm several times and harder than a regular grab and only very slight reddening of the skin occurred after all that— what a joke...he didn’t grab her all that hard plus she had sleeves. She be liar

There has been successful assasinations by contact poisoning for many many years. Why should anyone even touch Trump unless they are vetted? Seriously, i would shoot first and let god sort out the bodies.

And its because a similar situation happened to me two years ago, a person right out of the blue assaulted me with a steak knife, it was so fast that he stabbed me three times before i even knew what happened, almost killed me.

Nowadays i ALWAYS keep a zone around me, you get too close and i will react. Don’t even try to touch me, i trained myself to not be a sheep anymore. And Trump is no sheep either.

So about all of this, that woman is lucky to be walking with all the threats against Trump. Let the other candidates get all touchy feely huggy kissy, Trump is a fighter.
