Another thing that doesn’t make sense is the initial claim that the bullet wound went in from the side and came out the front. That switched to coming from the back and going straight through the left hemisphere and through the front. And then that switched to the bullet going into the forehead and out the back, with bone fractures in the front suggesting that the bullet sort of glanced off the bone and went through the brain superficially.
If the people reporting this stuff were talking to witnesses - such as the guy who said Loughner went up to Giffords and shot her in the face - then why were we getting media reports claiming the wound was to the side of her head.... and then reports that it went in the back of her head?
The stories have way too many discrepancies. If the reports we’re getting are in any way based on eyewitness testimony, these errors/shifting stories don’t make sense.
When we were talking about this the other day. Someone had the court docket with that case on it.
Maybe it has been scrubbed.

Sadly, eyewitness reports are sometimes unreliable. Many folks think they saw what they saw, but when everything shakes out, they were mistaken. I don’t EVER take immediate witness or media statements at face value, because too often, those reports are either totally wrong, or substantially wrong.
