21. There should be minimal to no variation

in regard to wound trajectories and other physical trauma, the same goes for the toxicology report.

You may see more variation in the testimony on how long it took for Brown to die or become incapacitated, since that has always been more of a variable, since intangibles such as will power and mindset impact a person's response to being shot.

To put it a different way, if 2 different people are shot in the same spot with the same gun and the same type of bullet, the physical trauma will be very similar, how they react to the shot varies from person to person, it's why some people go into shock or pass out and others don't when injured.

I think it will more likely lead to truth. Hoyt Aug 2014 #1
