Where does the testimony indicate that Compean was well aware that Davila was unarmed?

See post 97.

Davila's own testimony indicates that he was running directly away from Compean and Ramos. So he was not running at an angle nor side to side.

From the distance that Ramos was firing from, one or two degrees off of a pure beeline would allow the bullet to enter from the side and pass forward toward his urethra.

Thought experiment: if you put a box 100 feet directly in front of you and then you move one or two inches from dead center you can see the side of the box.

Hence the forensic testimony that it would be impossible to tell if Aldrete-Davila was turning or not.

The path of the bullet was a heck of a lot more than one or two degrees off of a beeline. It is more than 45 degrees. Hold a string on the bottom of your left buttcheek and route the string to the front of the middle of your crotch then to the front of your right thigh. That angle is not one or two degrees to the plane dissecting your body side to side nor front to back.
