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.

“There was no control of the arm from the time of the incident to the time when the picture was taken.

It was not in an evidence locker someplace.

The angles and positions of the people in the video do not force one to believe the woman had her lower arm grabbed by Lewandowski.

I have not seen a photo at all of the hand on the arm. There might be one. I haven’t seen it published”

All good points. I do not see an ethical prosecutor finding charges here.

Nor do I.

Napolitano said that he can’t imagine a judge not throwing this out right away. Van Susteran said essentially the same thing.

There is no evidence that shows the event taking place, much less meeting the standard of intent to batter.

It seems from the video that all Corey got hold of was her jacket. You can see it out of order in one of the stills.

That's one big pinky in the bruises. And your finger tips don't line up when you grab someone. And the chances of the bruises being parallel to the line of her arm is astronomical.

But the big thing....that was one heavy looking jacket.

Thank you. Sorry about telling of my problem, but its the bigger picture, anybody can be a target anywhere, anytime, and the rules are broken. It can be anything now. And a really dedicated bad person has an unlimited supply of evil tools to use. So this woman is a joke and i sincerely hope Trump sues her for $30 million.

Mr. Trump has authorized me to offer you some Kool-Aid, which you must drink in order to prove your loyalty. You have demonstrated that your character is such that it is quite likely that you will drink it.

My senile purpura,

Jumble up the letters a bit and it could sound like an STD discharge. ('

I’ve watched those videos over and over, and honestly, Sacajaweau, I couldn’t swear that he even touched her.

Same coloration at the protruding tip of the Ulna extending to the carpal bones. The discoloration extending to the carpal area cannot be attributed to shadows.

I understand this was her photo, not a police shot. I expect a police shot would be with very bright light or flash.

This appears to be a hoax, not an assault.

You’re right. The world is a dangerous place. I hope he sues her to. And hang in there. Things will get better for you, I know. You got a lot of fight in you.

Look at the video. Its not hard to see that Lewnadowski lightly took hold of Fields jacket sleeve up near her shoulder. How the bruises migrated down to her forearm is a mystery for the ages.

Interesting. Sure looks like shadows to me. direction of the shadows appears to be consistent with the shading on the arm.

video shows Lewandowski grabbed her upper arm, and it looks like he grabbed more of her clothes than arm.

Say it! I cannot, all this, everywhere can be accessed, and used. The case has yet to go full trial, last i heard he faces 212 years. I have to very much hold myself about online, my rage, my never ending sadness, i wish i could tell all what we had together, our dreams, i even went to Australia for her recently to keep a promise that i would leave her spirit at a place we dreamed about, a literal castle atop a mountain east of Adelaide, Sa. Or the last Honda Goldwing we bought that was wrecked, i rebuilt it in her name. I posted almost two years of comments about her on my goldwing forums.

Goldwingfacts.com, threads started by Silverado6x6, me.

You think they are shadows extending into the carpal area from the protruding tip of the ulna?
