His picture does not show any staple marks and not even any bruising that would be associated with a broken jaw. I suspect this whole story has been badly garbled, and that is probably understandable. I also saw that the police said they hope to learn more when they can speak with the victim.
I would like to know what the emergency room doctor's version of the story of the mouth stapled shut through the gums?
According to all the accounts I read, he had surgery.
His lower jaw looks swollen and discolored to me, do you know when this picture was taken?
