Something else noticeable from the diagram. There was a conspicuous lack of penetration from some rounds and a tendency to ricochet from others, given the number of rounds that hit. Also notice the probability of bone damage at the right eye socket with the media gossip in mind.

The only thing generally for sure about the whole spectacle, is that it’s looking messy and bad before court time—especially the likelihood of political consequences of much of the political gossip. Most voters are distrustful of both political parties, seeing bands of regulating groups of government-linked thieves, each socialist group trying to take funding from other groups.

Just a personal story.

On one of my deer hunts I shot a nice buck. He walked out of the thick woods into the less dense woods and then just stood broadside to me about 60 paces away, his head was to the left as he was walking from my right to left. Anyway, the 180 grain Soft Point bullet hit him right through the heart and then hit the rib cage on the opposite side. The bullet then turned about 120 degrees right and about 45 degrees up, hit the spine and then deflected again to travel straight down his spine back to his hip where it turned 90 degrees again and exited his body on his right side through his right hind quarter (the side away from me). Needles to say he dropped like a rock dead as a doornail.

My point being bullets do crazy things once they enter a body. I know this was a high power 30 caliber round hand loaded and fired from my 30-06 but even pistol rounds do weird things even though they are not as powerful.
