Bullet Wounds to Daniel Caffell

[mike tesko]

There should have been two loose bullets found in the childrens bedroom, but there was only one. How could there be 8 bullet cases found in that bedroom, yet there only ae 7 bullets, accounted for?

[Alex]

Could someone else have been shot in that room?

i was reading scott lomax book, it says in there that a 26th cartidge was found under a wardrobe?

[mike tesko]

One bullet was missing from the kids bedroom, and a bullet case without a corresponding bullet...

[Kaldin]

Did they retrieve three bullets from Nicholas?

What exhibit reference was given to this cartridge case, if any?

Had to look at these to make sense of what I'm being told.

Shot 1 could be independent of the sequence, but the other shots are a sequence and should be viewed 5 to 2, with 5 being the first of the sequence.

The shooter fixes stance + target, shoots, allows recoil adjustment (which slightly raises gun) just sufficient to move the shot slightly above (but still in the target area) then shoots again. So on, in a sequence.
A good shooter could do this while moving closer. The shooter does not change their shoulder/arm/grip stance at all.
It's about timing. You have to know gun timing -  more specifically, the recoil of the gun you are using - to get this arc.

Or you are very very lucky.

Ive been thinking about this "arc" of shots.Is it at all possible that that the child had a spasm in response to the first shot,and that is how subsequent shots formed an arc?

Well I am going to use a recent case, from Cumbria.

well bird, shoot one of his targets 11 times with a .22lr and the police found 15 different exit and entry wounds to his body!

So things don't change even now!
