I'm watching an episode of "On the Case with Paula Zahn" which aired yesterday. In this case, a man and a woman are both shot in their home by an intruder.
The woman is shot directly between her eyebrows and then again in her ear, from a number of feet away with .22 caliber bullets. She retains consciousness throughout all of this, reporting that she just felt a lot of pain, and then managed to run out of the house, knock on three different neighbor's doors until she found someone who would open the door, and then describe the suspect's appearance to the neighbor while an ambulance was on the way. Then she was emergency air-lifted to the hospital. She is able to recall some of her thoughts during this entire time.
If a person could function that well with two bullets going directly into where her brain is, then I do not believe that the shot hit Travis necessarily completely incapacitated him.
If the gunshot was from right to left and down, then if he was sitting in the shower, with his back against the opposite wall in which they found him against, it seems that would be a perfect angle for Jodi to make her first shot against him. He then got up, ran to the sink and bled all over it, and then the knife fight started.
I know the ME says the gunshot was not first, but I just have a hard time with that.
For a few reasons. If she had a gun, why would she start with a knife when the gun would theoretically be more fatal?
If she stabbed him first, I think he could have wrestled her to the ground or given her a massive shove out of the way.
