Merriman’s accuser shows off arm bruises

Tila Tequila Nguyen, who claims that Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman battered and falsely imprisoned her early Sunday morning, was videotaped and photographed Thursday by a hoard of paparazzi.

And at one point she showed what appeared to be fairly extensive bruising of her arms.

The video is right here.

Nguyen tweeted Thursday (and then deleted) that she would be meeting with San Diego prosecutors on Friday. TMZ.com reported Thursday afternoon that the meeting was actually occurring then.

For the case to proceed, it won’t be enough for prosecutors to conclude merely that Nguyen has bruises. The authorities must believe that they have sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Merriman is responsible for them.
