Being shot in the back is categorically false. aikoaiko Oct 2013 #140

He was shot from behind while turning around. He could not even make it around. morningfog Oct 2013 #144

I will admit that it could be murder, but I don't see a preponderance of evidence showing that YET aikoaiko Oct 2013 #145

Could very well be incorrect? You don't have to carry water for Rex Oct 2013 #75
