If the perp was running TOWARDS the cop when he was shot, the autopsy should confirm that by way of entry and exit wounds...
Quite true. The reasonable person has little to do at this point but wait for the forensics, both toxicology report and ballistics. There is little point in speculating further and even less of a point in taking action based on such speculation.
That;s why the “Just Us” Dept. ordered ANOTHER Autopsy!!
You’d expect the bullet holes to be clear enough but wait for the sniveler crowd to claim Brownie was doing a strategic advance to the rear. Let’s wait for some forensic genius to claim the bullet hole in his forehead would have been deeper if he was charging instead of retreating. As an occasional expert witness I’ve actually had to de-bunk non-sense like that before.
