I see what you are saying about a golf club with someone hitting her from the rear and the club causing the rectangle area dislodging from the rest of the skull in front area of it. The lower arm of the club would cause the long crack.

What if the person did not swing it and just had it it next to them on the floor. Say JonBenet is on the floor on her stomach, maybe with her knees pulled up to her stomach, but arms tied behind her back and her right cheek is pressed against the floor. Maybe the prep had the golf club there as his defense tool in the event someone would catch him and walk up on him and he had it laying near her left side. He is on the right side of her on his knees but he is kinda hovering over her, his right hand is twisting the garrote. Let's say she was able to get out a scream and he suddenly picks up the golf club with his left hand, but he grabs it at mid point and he slams it into her head to knock her out (but actually he hit her too hard and cracked her skull). He did it to stop her scream but he never let go of the tension he has on garrote with his right hand. He freaks and thinks I better just finish her off and gives a few more twists to garrote. He listens for someone coming down the stairs or for any movements upstairs. He gets up off the floor and grabs the club and waits in the darkness, but no one comes. He is claim again, he feel secure to do what else he has to do, like clean up her body, cover her up, etc...

Re your # 2,259, I don't dismiss or disrespect anyone's theory, because without further facts, the how of the head would certainly is open to speculation. I just won't go as far as you do in theorizing.

The best I can say from what the evidence tells me is that the wound could only have occurred in one of two ways: Either someone swung at her with an object that could drive a massive rectangular piece of skull into the child's brain, or her head hit a stationary object with sufficient force to cause that injury.

In other words, I think it's just as possible someone struck her as it is that her head violently smashed against something while she was being strangled. I don't think the two fatal events necessarily occurred separately at different times. I don't think we have enough facts to know either way.

The physics involved in calculataing the force of the blow would include leverage, mass, speed, distance from the child if the injury was from a blow, and the size and strength of the person who struck the blow. We just don't have enough information about those particulars to draw any conclusions about how the head wound occurred.
