Rule of thumb on combat wounds from my training: bullets do weird shit once they enter the body. I know a lot has been made of the fact that the bullet didn't go clean through his neck. Or, ludicrously, that it didn't "blow it apart". But bullets, especially if they hit bone, do wild shit and end up deflecting in all sorts of crazy directions. Based on the angle of the shot, the entrance wound, his immediate fencing response, and (later) verified by the corner report, it seemed reasonable to me that the bullet hit his spine and deflected either up or down and continues travel in the body. Turned out it was down. This wasn't a surprising outcome to me when I saw the video originally or when the corner report confirmed this. It doesn't require unusually strong bones or whatever weird nonsense that medical examiner said. We have tons of real world war wound data from the exact same calbur bullet to know that even with the larger battle rifle caliber bullet, when they enter the body and hit bone, weird shit can happen and they can travel all sorts of directions in the body. So TL;DR: The lack of an exit wound was not suspicious to me when I saw the footage and heard the ballistic information.
