I like this idea of going back to square one. Please bear with me if I ask a question you think has been gone over a million times. Like MommaK43, I’m focusing on the door.
IIRC, there is no MSM reports of James being shot through the door. Is this correct? Also, is there a MSM report or LE report that the door was kicked in? IIRC LE said they were able to see James feet from the open door.
Let’s think about the physics here. How close to the doorway do you think James would have to be for LE to see his feet? If James were shot through the door and then the door was kicked in, do you think James would fall far enough away to be out of the way of the swinging door? If so, would he still be close enough for LE to see his feet in the doorway?
What scenarios can we come up with that make sense scientifically? Someone earlier suggested the door was kicked in first and James got to the doorway, Perp was off to the side and shot James. This sounds possible. What other possibilities make sense from a scientific view?
