Boy, I'd love to hear from an expert on those bruises!! Bruises are given as evidence all the time. I'd love to know how my theory bears out...that this is from a single blow in the middle of the face (would account for symmetry of bruising), and that it was probably a blow right under his nose--
As for the M-M Society, they've seen the other related threads I suspect, but I think the more egregious know that their 'cover' is blown as to their intentions on FR.
