So you just don't believe the ME's testimony that the gunshot to the right frontal lobe of the brain would render Travis completely out of commission?
Since it's not science, what is your opinion based on? Just curious.
Well, it IS science.
but my opinion is based on actually real life examples of people being shot in the brain and remaining conscious, walking and talking.
it happens and I have posted many examples of it
Some people will be knocked out with a bb gun and others can withstand horrific damage from large caliber guns and remain conscious.
the frontal lobe does not control any motor functions, it's mostly for memory and sensory tasks
far more damaging and certain to cause unconsciousness would be an injury to the brain stem - a shot to the back of the head or base of the skull where it joins the neck
I'm sorry,
Dr. Horn's testimony is just not compatible with known facts of people surviving and remaining conscious with these types of wounds
not that it happens every time
but it happens
it is NOT scientific to make a statement that it COULD NOT HAVE happened.
it could have and has on many other occasions.
