Well, if I'm not mistaken, the ME said that Matthew died from loss of blood. Unless she completely transected an artery, it would take a several minutes to bleed out, and for the first few minutes, he might very well have been conscious. Unable to get up or do anything to get help, but aware of his surroundings and what had just happened to him. I hope not. I hope he was out from the shock and impact. I would hate to think that he laid there on the bed, realizing that she had just shot him and he was dying. That would be sad.
Especially if he knew she did it and offered no help to him. How will that play into a trial?
