Day Three: Weapon was close to Lindsey and a high powered round

Officer Grenier points out the blood stains he says are apparent on the driver side door of the red Dodge Neon.

Grenier says it is a "direct contact transfer stain - bloody object then became in contact with the car and transferred blood to the car."

Grenier says there are positions that are not consistent with the evidence, and some that are, in regards to the the position of the shooter.

Some of the assumptions made would be that the weapon was fairly close to the victim, based on the observation of unburned powder on the face of Officer Lindsey, which happens when the weapon is about 3 feet from the victim, Grenier says.

He also points out that it is most likely a "fairly high powered round, based on skull fractures," Grenier says.
