Also, the swelling around the nose had subsided considerably by the next day.
After the beating you describe, where were the injuries?

That's NOT what she testified. She said that there were multiple cuts as well as multiple lumps where the skin had not been broken. It doesn't take broken skin to cause serious injuries - just ask a football player who has received a concussion - even though no blood was evident. How else do you explain the injuries and the blood streaming down tha back of Zimmerman's head? Also, it doesn't take a concussion for one to experience extreme pain and extreme fear for one's life when one is helpless under a man pounding on you.
