Dr. Olivier. For the gelatin the average exit velocity was 1,779 feet per second. The horsemeat, the average exit velocity was 1,798 feet per second. And the goatmeat the average exit velocity was 1,772 feet per second.
Mr. Specter. I now hand you a photograph marked Commission Exhibit 849 and ask you what that picture represents?
Dr. Olivier. This is one of the gelatin blocks used in that test. It shows the type of track left by the bullet passing through it. That bullet is very stable. Passing through the body and muscle, it would make a similar type wound. Of course, you couldn't observe it that nicely.
Mr. Specter. Would you describe that as being a straight line?
Dr. Olivier. Yes.
Mr. Specter. I now hand you a picture marked Commission Exhibit No. 850 and ask you what that represents?
Dr. Olivier. These are pieces of clipped goatskin, clipped very shortly. There is still some hair on it. These were placed, these particular ones were placed over the tissues. This would be placed over the entrance side of the animal.
Mr. Specter. When you say "this," you are referring to a piece of goatskin which is marked "enter"?
Dr. Olivier. Marked "enter." The one marked "exit" was placed on the far side of the tissues and the bullet passed through that after it came out of the tissues.
Mr. Specter. For the record, will you describe the characteristics, which are shown on the goatskin at the point of entry, please?
