It is a good point.
But I also think Juan and the ME should clarify what they mean by immediately incapacitating. People have been shot in the head and lived to tell about it. Some have been shot in the head and have been able to get up and walk around. But they are also going to be disoriented, in severe pain, they are going to have blood gushing out of their nose and maybe their mouth like a geyser. Could Travis really have done all the things Jodi says he did after a bullet has pierced through his brain? Is he going to just keep coming and coming? Would Jodi really not be able to tell that Travis was shot since he would be bleeding everywhere? Maybe it WOULD impair his ability to defend himself against a knife attack...
I will say it gives me some hope that there are some people here, actually A LOT, who believe the gun shot did come first but still think Jodi premeditated the murder and would still give her murder one. So hopefully even if that or those jurors are skeptical, (I might be too, the ME sounds too sure of this and there is a small possibility he may be wrong) that in the end they come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter because Jodi planned the murder and Travis suffered.
Exactly. It really doesnt matter which came first. I really wish the ME had not ever tried to claim the shot came last. It would have been better just to state the facts of the autopsy and not even try to give an opinion.
I find it quite amazing that the brain was turning into a pudding consistency in such a short time. I had always thought the brain would stay like it is for many weeks after death, but it sounds like it begins to turn to a pudding like substance very quickly after death. Unless the autopsy happened much much later maybe. I would have thought the autopsy happened pretty quick after the 6 days of him being found.
