Forensic Pathologist Cyril Wecht SHUTS DOWN All Nonsense in Michael Brown Case

[stupidicus]

56. if you say so

and I hope so.

I based all that on recollection of the mistake in height comparisons and the the way I thought he was making an argument dependent/contingent upon the accuracy of it.

And while we're not fact-averse rightwingers, it goes without saying that they'll likely sow and insist on doubt if not outright disbelief of the argument he was making based on a "well, he didn't even get their respective heights right, why should be believe the rest..." It doesn't do "our" side any good to have our mouthpieces making such glaring errors in fact citation....period.

That more than anything else is "the problem" I addressed -- the inaccuracy of his height claims. I don't see a problem with the upward trajectory in the arm shots, assuming they occurred during the struggle over the gun http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/us/ferguson-case-officer-is-said-to-cite-struggle.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0 and given their height equality, if Wilson fired from greater than (assuming "sighting/aiming" would require it) shoulder height, I'd expect a slight downward trajectory from anything that hit him in the upper torso. I am not aware of the angle of incidence/the trajectory was from what he shared, all I know is that given he thought there was a five inch height difference, that he must think it more likely it indicates he was shot while falling forward.

This is why I decided to leave it to the big boys. I have no interest in speculating or debating the merit of whatever diffs there might be between mine and that of others.
