Analysis of Wounds in Abby's Murder

In Abby Borden's murder, it is revealed that the initial head wound was a glancing scalp wound, indicative of a sideward hit that did not penetrate the skull. This suggests she was likely facing away and was struck with less force at first. The subsequent hit to the top of the skull may indicate she fell before this more direct impact, potentially falling or being on her knees. Notably, the wounds seem consistent with a left-handed person, raising questions about the dynamics and positioning during the attack.
