Over the objections of the defense attorneys over some of the images, photos of the injuries suffered by Dr. William Petit Jr. on the day of the Cheshire home invasion were shown in court Tuesday. The photos shown here were released during the trial of Steven Hayes.
Petit spend five days at the hospital as a result of the injuries.
He testified Tuesday that he believes he lost 5-7 pints of blood after being beaten with a baseball bat.
Petit was released from the hospital in order to attend the funeral of his family.

During testimony under cross-examination Tuesday, defense attorney Jeremiah Donovan compared what Petit told police in interviews after the crime with what he has said more recently.
