No exits on the back side?
Why would a bullet going in the eye go through the face and then come back up through the chin?
Here is another possibility. Take that sketch with the wounds. Imagine someone (crazy enough to charge an officer already pointing any in at him) Mike Mike has his right arm andhand extended forward towards the officer.
Pointing and pretending he has a gun as he says “whatcha gonna do shoot me?” And he begins advancing on the officer...charging is how it was described...
The right hand and the extended length of the arm would all be in close proximity to neck and fatal head shot (s).
That puts the officer’s rounds in a much tighter group.
This is would not be the first time this sort of scenario has happened.
My list of possible scenarios based upon the known facts and the two differing stories put out...put in order of probability.
1. Scenario described above.
2. Officer vision is initially focused on Mike Mike’s right hand during the charge...looking for weapons....then as threat gets closer his visual focus transitions along with his aim to the center mass/head which is lowered from the charge and/or falling.

It appears that the shot to the thumb was a grazing one, and could account for one "entry" to the forearm (or the upper arm). The grazing shot at the elbow was likely a "lost" round (not collected, and not counted as a hit). I'm not sure what the examiner intended by the three wounds to the right side of his face and neck, but the chin-shot indicates another grazing wound, ending near his right medial clavicle. That there are no exit wounds suggest an inferior police cartridge.
