You don’t know for a fact if he did or did not have a fracture, therefore, premature to call it a fraud—we don’t know. And I repeat, the x-rays I saw here on FR always had identification markers showing it was someone else. Unless you can find a pic on FR showing otherwise. . .

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not calling the fact that Wilson suffered an injury of some sort to be a fraud. I am saying that Hoft definitively saying the injury was an orbital fracture and posting x-rays on his website that he doctored himself to look as if they were Wilson's, while saying they were leaked from a DA is fraud. I'm calling Jim Hoft a total fraud. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.

That clears things up. Thank you.

One reason to believe the police officer did have a fracture is that it was described as a “blowout fracture” of the orbit. Fee outside the medical profession are aware of this type of fracture and would use that term.

This fracture used to be seen in the days before padded dashboards, but now it is mainly seen from a direct hit to the eye... when women come in the ER claiming their bruises and broken nose or teeth were from a fall, it is hard to prove otherwise. But if they have a blowout fraccture, we docs are pretty sure they got wacked in the eye by a fist or hard object. A fall would break the nose first.

The eyeball doesn't burst, but distorts and puts pressure on the delicate bone beneath the eyeball, which breaks.
