Finally, we'll know exactly where RS was situated & in what position she was in when shot

 

[sorrell skye]

20 years exp. in police.

19 yrs. in ballistics section.

 

[zwiebel]

he is stationed in forensic science dept. Ballistics 20 yrs in police, 19 in ballistics. Qualified in 1990.

That doesn't work out, surely?

 

[zwiebel]

Zwiebel - you're cracking me up!

I think 19 of his 20 years on the force have been in ballistics.

 

[katydid23]

nels didnt want this, because he will have his portion of the testimony, and roux will have all night to prepare his cross....

 

[zwiebel]

Cpt C received door in body bag and was asked to examine the bullet holes. Not sure when he received it? 17th?

 

[zwiebel]

When he received the door it was not assembled. He assembled it.

 

[sorrell skye]

I think he received the door on March 7.

 

[zwiebel]

He marked four bullet holes A B C D.

 

[zwiebel]

Bullet holes on entrance side of the door.

They are not showing the photos.

 

[zwiebel]

On Mar 8th he was instructed to take the door and go to the crimes scene, to reconstruct the scene.

 

[zwiebel]

Lots of members from state/LE and defence were there that day, at OP's house.

 

[zwiebel]

Col Van M assisted him in reconstructing door in exactly the same way it was before removal, then he remarked the bullet holes and took measurements from floor

93.5 A
104.3 B
99.4 C
97.3 D

All cms.

 

[Trooper]

he used the same screws and the same hinges, that originally in the door..

he noticed marks on the tiles..

a richochet mark,, marked as E pic 17

F indicates the same bullet... the same bullet that richochet, that impact mark was there.

it hit the person, then deflected...

 

[zwiebel]

Ricochet marks in toilet wall now

Ricochet from E to F

Judge 'In simple language, what does that mean?'

Worrying that judge doesn't seem to know why a ricochet would have two points.....

 

[sorrell skye]

Marks on wall in toilet room.

E is ricochet mark.

F impact of same bullet on another part of wall.

measurements: E 89 cm. high

F 87.5 cm. high

G is traces of lead - a fractured bullet, didn't break tile, but left traces on tile.

 

[zwiebel]

What a shame photos are not being shown....
