Pictures Of Chris Brown’s Bloody Lamborghini Offer Glimpse Into His Fight With Rihanna

The National Enquirer - who has previously warned us of such dangers as giant mutant women and broke news that Elvis has, in fact, not left the building - enlisted the help of a former NYPD detective to go over recently released photos from the interior of Chris Brown’s rented Lamborhini in an attempt to piece together Brown’s fight with Rihanna.

Hal Sherman, who acts as a consultant for “Law & Order: SVU,” said the blood and damage to the car’s interior indicates that the passenger, now known to be Rihanna, struggled to get away from the driver, now known to be Chris Brown.

Sherman points out that the bruising on Rihanna’s forehead - parallel above both eyes - suggests her head was bashed against part of the car’s interior. Sherman also believes that the fight may have gone on for a while:

There are clear sings the fight may have gone on for some time. The injury photograph shows the victim was beaten in the nose, cheek and mouth. When that happens, you don’t immediately bleed. It takes a little time. I think that Rihanna bled a substantial amount.

First, look at the handbrake - there is a large blood smear. This is where the LAPD forensic team would have used a swab made from a synthetic material to take a blood sample. The size of that blood stain would originally have been up to four inches wide, showing that Rihanna had been bleeding quite heavily. 

Sherman also took the fact that certain parts of the car’s interior - including a lighter and what may be a cup holder - were torn off to mean that Rihanna was trying to struggle against Chris Brown pulling her towards him forcibly. 

The fact that this comes from The National Enquirer notwithstanding, why isn’t the car’s interior -  evidence that the passenger was struggling to get away from the driver, all the blood, etc.- enough for the LAPD, or Rihanna for that matter, to formally charge Chris Brown?
