[Politically Correct]

Deciding it was murder just because you do not understand the wound dynamics?

When you place a gun in contact or near contact with your head the result will be a much larger wound opening than you would suspect. Most of this is from the gas leaving the barrel and collecting between the skull and skin and then blowing back out (blowback).

I'll stick with suicide.

But how does blowback explain the spread of the shot??

"When you place a gun in contact or near contact with your head"

From Pg. #5 of the Autopsy Report ------

"There is no gunpowder tattooing visible surrounding the entrance wound described above. There is no apparent soot deposition on the external surface of the wound"

wound dynamics have changed since july 20, 1993.
