Jayna Murray

In every post that has appeared on this site regarding the death of Jayna Murray inside the Lululemon Athletica shop in Bethesda and the murder trial of her attacker Brittany Norwood, I haven’t been able to avoid using the word “brutal” to describe the crime. Such adjective usage was rather depressingly justified this morning.

According to the Montgomery County medical examiner who took the witness stand today, Murray suffered “over 331 injuries” all over her body, more than 100 of which were defensive.

Murray, the medical examiner testified, was alive to feel all of them.
