I've been studying the photo of Ashley Todd...

[Night_Nurse]

I've seen more than a few shiners in my line of work, and I'm thinking that she's faking it with makeup and/or the photo has been photoshopped. If this photo was taken shortly after the attack, she should have much more swelling to that eye to the point where it would almost be shut (if not entirely). I fail to see ANY swelling (edema) to her face, anywhere - her eyelid at least should be puffy. Also, a fresh bruise is purple/red because of the increased bloodflow to the area in the immediate aftermath of trauma - Ms. Todd's "bruises" are greyish in color. (Never seen a grey bruise, either..) There are no abrasions to her face (except for the "B")either. Notice too how "white" the white part of her eyeball is - with a direct trauma, especially one forceful enough to cause a loss of consciousness - there would be broken blood vessels in the eye, causing her eyeball to look blood red. And as for the "B" - if that cut were made in an attack, it wouldn't be so "perfect" - the cut would be deeper, and the cut itself would be more jagged in appearance. Imagine trying to carve a letter into someone's face who was trying to fight back? It would look bad, and the victim would probably have other cuts to the facial area due to "misses" with the knife. I see no other cuts/scratches to her face. Also, I doubt that the attacker took his time carving a perfect (albeit backwards) "B" on her cheek, because that's a perfectly shaped, superficial surface scratch - not a cut from an attacker's knife.

Why did she refuse ER treatment after such a "vicious" attack? An attack where she was knocked unconscious and cut with a knife? Because there WASN'T an attack, and that would've been totally obvious to ER staff the minute they assessed her "injuries".

JMHO..

2. The "B" is backward because

she did it to herself while looking in a mirror.
Wow, how pathetic.

3. maybe that's what they paid Sarah palin's makeup artist all those $$$'s for?

4. It's just a little touch of black or dark gray eye shadow and a self-made scratch.

This is just a little something to go on her resume as a Republican operative.

5. My Guess Is That She Was Seeking Attention From A Guy

She went the law student's house instead of calling police. My guess is she never intended to call the police. She just wanted attention from the guy but he called the police and now she is in over her head.

7. The stunts aren't working anymore.

This one unraveled in a few hours.

The next stunt might unravel after a few minutes.

8. You are right! She confessed. It's on another thread.

She made the whole thing up.

9. Do you have a link to that thread?

I would love to read about it
Last I heard she was on the verge of claiming rape by the big scary black man
