What you give me here is what any judge would dismiss as heresay.

Because it’s nothing but talk.

And it doesn’t clarify any of the critical questions:

1. the true bullet trajectory

2. NO HUMAN BONE, vertebral or not, can stop a 30.06 round

3. NO HUMAN BONE can change the vector of a 30.06 round by 90 degrees

4. no mention of the camera above and behind Charlie as a device that fired a .22 long rifle bullet

Yup

That’s what I thought

You have a preconceived opinion and you want others to post so you can argue your opinion.

I’m only 56 m into this, but I suspect your assertions will be addressed.

So how about you just watch it, listen for yourself, then you can comment on other than hearsay.

Who knows , your opinion may be correct, partially correct , or irrelevant or wrong.

But if you watch it for yourself , then your comments , posts, might be of more value.

These are assertions which create a “straw man” argument.

It all depends on the construction of the bullet and what the velocity was when it impacted the body. There are lots of .30-06 caliber hunting bullets which can be fragmented when they hit human vertebrae. We do not know the construction of the bullet that hit Charlie. There are hundreds of different possibilities. That is a simple fact.

The 90 degree assertion is not known. We do not know the bullet hit the vertibrae at 90 degrees. It could easily have hit from a much shallower angle. Bullet paths when they hit flesh, are not always exactly straight.

Charlie was a big man.

If you talk to hunters who have shot lots of game animals, some much smaller than Charlie was, you will find bullets often do strange things when they hit bone.

Here is a discussion of hunting bullet types, which includes a discussion of the common “Cup-and core” hunting bullet, explaining how they can “explode” when they hit bone.
