Now, you have to also take into consideration, however, whether the bullet enters at a right angle or at a tangent. If it enters at a tangent there will be some length to the wound of entrance.
Mr. Specter. So, would you say in net that there could have been some tumbling occasioned by having it pass through another body or perhaps the oblique character of entry might have been occasioned by the angle of entry.
Dr. Shaw. Yes; either would have explained a wound of entry.
Mr. Specter. Fine, thank you very much, Doctor.
Dr. Shaw. Thank you.
