Some of the shots to his arm went through the limb and entered his chest and lungs, according to Dr. Baden.
This is consistent with point-blank range, and with these shots being fired during a struggle, not with his having his arms in the air.
The Fed's autopsy will actually be the third one. The St. Louis office has released nothing. But Baden's autopsy was paid for by the family, so I think we can infer that they knew at least some of the results and were not happy; private autopsies are not cheap. Baden's autopsy is a devastating blow to the families' likely wrong death lawsuit, and to the media narrative.
i don’t think they were point blank as the autopsy said, there was no powder residue on the body, and they hadn’t yet checked the clothing. i think i read the baden report for this info. not the NYT version. and the entering his chest and arms into his lungs may confirm my theory that his arms were up not at his side but in an attack posture. lunging at the officer. i think the baden one is the a’y that i read. there is still a grouping of the shots in that type of posture.
Don’t worry. Holders will give them what they want.
