See post 44. It seems like he really does have at least a skull fracture.
I remember the old Hitchock story about a lady who killed her husband by beaning him with a frozen leg of lamb. She then served it to the detective investigating the case who couldn’t locate the murder weapon.
Sounds like the victim was going to have a large clan for T-day. Does the turkey get held as evidence? Did the family have to buy a replacement?
