'On the right labia majora is a very faint area of violet discoloration measuring approximately one inch by three eighths of an inch.'

"Is this where Rita (??) jumped to the conclusion that Patsy hit JB with the flashlight in the crotch area? A FAINT bruise an inch by less than a half inch in dimension? That could easily have happened earlier in the day while bike riding -- so minor that it was not worth mentioning --, BUT it could also have been caused by a finger(?) or ... ??? ... occurring during the assault(?)."

I think this is where most of the supposition about prior abuse came from. By the sound of the autopsy report, it does sound like there was a faint bruise there. I don't know that enough time had passed in the murder for her to actually bruise, although, I could see the faint beginnings of a bruise starting to form rather quickly. There is nothing else in the autopsy report to lead anyone to believe she had prior sexual abuse injuries. Nothing in the investigation that came up to lead anyone to believe something like that was happening. She did get a new bike that day, though, didn't she? I don't know about anyone else, but I remember my experiences with new bikes....ouch.
