17. Cyril Wecht on CNN right now: Not all individual bullet wounds

Mon Aug 18, 2014, 07:42 AM

Aug 2014

I didn't hear the first part, so I don't know if he said this definitively or speculatively, but he said that the shot to the eye went through his jaw area and then shoulder, which means Michael was on the ground, or at a lower height than the shooter, and the shooter was shooting with a downward trajectory.

Edit to add: He also added that he feels it is highly unlikely that, given Michael's size, that the head shots occurred as Michael was "charging." He doesn't feel any "charging" was possible given what he has seen.
