BTW, they’ll test the ejection pattern of the weapon, and be able to nearly pinpoint where the shots were fired based on the casing locations.
“...and be able to nearly pinpoint where the shots were fired based on the casing locations...”
If the shells are ejected exactly the same, the angle of ejection is exactly the same, the officer’s arm is not moving, the officer’s grip on his weapon is constant, the shells don’t roll or bounce or hit a stone, the casings weren’t kicked around....
Yes you are right on that point. After the initial contact, did the officer pursue on foot? During said pursuit, did suspect turn and advance on officer? If suspect turned and rushed officer, did officer draw and fire while retreating to put distance between suspect and him( I would be)?
Now just looking at casings on ground you tell me how you now which way suspect was moving and officer was moving in a linear fight buy just shell casings. How do you reconcile the casings on to position without corroborated evidence other than casings alone.
