Get the angle of entry, and it'll point to where the weapon was fired from...The casing should be right in that area...
Look at the crime scene with the body still present...There are about 3 cones, within just about 5-8 feet of the dead suspect...
I examined the images, and nothing could be seen. I would guess there are brass underneath them or close to them.
From what I have seen after the initial attack on the officer at the vehicle, suspect fled away from the vehicle, with the officer in foot pursuit, when the suspect turned and start moving towards the officer, when he unloaded and hit the suspect with the head shot being the final fatal round.
I think witness statements, the officers statement and physical evidence will support this.
OK, which ones? 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th?
Get the angle of entry, and it'll point to where the weapon was fired from...
Only if you know exactly how his body was positioned at the precise moment of entry. Was he facing east, west, north or south? Was he standing straight up, slouching, bending over, prone? Was his arm extended, up, down, out to the side, forward? ... in order to know where the bullet came from you have to have exact body/body part position or the angle of entry only tells you the angle of entry.
You keep saying that cones were used to mark the casings. What is your source for that?
You really are a hoot!
