The findings provide additional details to Maloneys initial report in July, in which he concluded officers fired some shots through the homes exterior wall meaning they were unable to see anyone inside including the round that killed Nicholas.
His most recent findings also suggest that Tuttle may have been lying on the ground when one of the shots hit him.
...While authorities pursued their probes, Doyle hired an outside consultant forensics expert Maloney to review the case on his own. After combing through the couples home for four days in May, the retired supervisory special agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service found dozens of pieces of evidence that the citys crime scene teams had left behind, including teeth and bullet fragments. At the time, Doyle said the missed evidence could be a sign of a lackluster investigation.
It doesnt appear that they took the basic steps to confirm and collect the physical evidence to know whether police were telling the truth, he said. Thats the whole point of forensic scene documentation. Thats the basic check on people just making stuff up.
In July, Maloney released more findings, suggesting police fired from outside the home and questioning whether Tuttle ever fired back.
I never said Denis Tuttle fired through the door.
But, I can see how you could interpret my comment that way.
