Robinson testifies Collier was essentially dead right away after these 3 gunshot wounds. Major parts of his brain have been disrupted. When you destroy vital centers of the brain, the rest of the body cannot function.
Robinson says Collier inhaled his own blood indicating trauma.
Robinson says one shot was fired from a distance. two at close range
Once shot, Collier likely would not have been able to move his arms or legs.
3 shots to the hand were not fatal wounds, Robinson said.
She doesn't know which shots fired first. hand or head
First shot to hand was likely far away and bullet enters and exits, Robinson said
These wounds were to Collier's right hand. Jurors will now see these photos
Bullet enters at base of thumb and comes out base of pinky, Robinson said
Bullet appears to go left from right. Again prosecutors seem to be focusing on the bullets coming from Collier's left or drivers side
Robinson says another wound path goes through the wrist. Gunshot wound 3 is a graze to the backside of the hand.
Prosecutor says right hand was on the center console. Robinson says it's entirely possible but his hand could have been oriented in other ways. I wasn't there.
Prosecutor is done. Tim Watkins, defense attorney, will cross now
Watkins asking about gases and burn powder after weapon is fired. Robinson likens it to a spray paint can and concentration of spray depending on how close you are.
Watkins is focused on disbursement of gasses and powder and how far they can travel
Watkins talking about blood spatter now. asking if it can go forward and back from wound.
