I'm not sure why I'm being referenced, but the dropped charge seems logical. If you have a pre-existing injury, it probably wasn't caused by a subsequent event. Seems reasonble.

Now, as to whether the rest of the incident occured...and whether the cut over her eye was an injury caused during that incident...

I guess we will see how it all plays out.
