Gunshot Wound Trajectory Analysis Using Forensic Animation to Establish Relative Positions of Shooter and Victim.

Forensic pathologists who perform autopsies in gunshot cases may be asked to determine the bullet trajectories in the body in order to elucidate the circumstances of a homicide and answer questions about range of fire, the order of shots fired, and the relative positions of the shooter and victim at the scene. However, there are few peer-reviewed articles or case reports detailing how trajectory analysis is performed in complex cases with conflicting testimony. The following case report documents an instance when the testimony of a police officer who shot a suspect was at odds with the evidence at the scene and the trajectory findings upon autopsy.
