“At least 1 to 2 feet away” is not the same as “no more than 1 to 2 feet away”.

Quite correct, 15 feet is “at least 1 to 2 feet away”. Let’s not make unwarranted assumptions folks. More evidence will be forthcoming.

Working in reverse, the phrasing no more than 1 to 2 feet away limits the distance to a maximum of 2 feet. Why would the phrasing "at 1east" 1 to 2 feet away be used? Could it have been 3 feet away, 10 feet, 35 feet? At what point can we, or others reading the report, reasonably infer the distance from the front of the pistol to the first strike on Brown?

Exactly. It could mean 30 feet away.
