You said he wasn't shot in the back. I proved he was.
No. He had a gunshot wound in the back. That doesn’t mean he was SHOT IN the back (traditionally thought of as a cowardly attack).
At the trial, the defense attorney handled your misuse of terminology with the medical examiner:
“Kelley said that the scenario was possible. He said Rosenbaum continued down in a horizontal position. The shot to the back and head occurred when he was more horizontal to the ground.
But then defense attorney Mark Richards said, “When you’re shot the first time, it doesn’t cause you to go forward?”
“No,” Kelley said, agreeing it doesn’t.
Richards asked Kelley whether Rosenbaum was already in “forward momentum” to go from the 1st shot to the second in a fraction of a second.
“Yes, he had forward momentum,” said Kelley.
Richards and Kelley explained that soot is found in a wound when the gun is a few inches away or very close to the body. The soot is within inches. Stippling is within four feet.
“It was either very close or in contact; we’re talking about the hand,” Richards said.
“Yes, it can be within that range; it could have been contact,” responded Kelley.
On the back wound, Kelley made it clear:
“We’re not saying he was turned and shot in the back correct?” asked Richards. “That’s correct,” said Kelley.” —
