Day Two: "Lindsey would have dropped immediately from wound"

Sikirica says based on the wounds he saw and his experience, Lindsey most likely would have dropped immediately, his heart stopping from such a gunshot wound.

Diagrams of the brain used by Sikirica to mark damage to Lindsey's brain is now displayed to the court, with no objections from defense.

On the diagram, the court is shown by Sikirica the bullet track from one side of Lindsey's brain to the other. Sikriica says the trajectory can sometimes provide information, but unless you can find where the projectile embeedded itself, you can't determine the exact way the subject who was shot is standing, facing, etc.

A diagram of a human head is now displayed, as Sikirica displays on a screen where the entry and exits wounds on Lindsey were. Dots ont he right side of Lindsey's face, he explains are the powder tattoing, which indicates it was an "intermediate range" at which the gun was fired.
