Dr. Shires. I don't understand.
Mr. Specter. In what position would the wrist have had to be in, in order to have the same bullet make all three wounds?
Dr. Shires. The main point was that his arm be up here. In other words, in some fashion, however his hand happened to be turned, but he had to have his right arm raised up, next to his chest.
Mr. Specter. His wrist would have to be up with the palm down, would it not?
Dr. Shires. As depicted here.
Mr. Specter. In order for the point of entry to be on the dorsal side?
Dr. Shires. That's right, again, which makes it a little more likely he was turning, since ordinarily you pronate your wrist as you turn, whereas, this would have been a little strange for him to have been sitting like this, but again, depending on what he had in his hand. It's just a question of which side is up.
Mr. Specter. But it would be more natural, you say, for the palm to be down in the turning, which was as contrasted with a relaxed sitting position where it would be more likely his palm would be facing in towards his chest area?
Dr. Shires. Right.
Mr. Specter. Do you have any knowledge as to the damage which was done to the rib?
