How are criminal experts able to determine which gunshot wound was first?
In: Biology
They take into consideration the other clues and formulate a narrative of events. If a gun was fired thru glass for instance, one shot creates a spider web of fractures, the second can only create fractures up to the cracks created by the first. On a body, you can position the deceased so that you follow the wound path of the bullet and figure out how the person was positioned when shot.
Sometimes those details dont matter as much. If two people ran up to someone and shot them down, but only one of the suspects actually hit, both are guilty of murder anyway.
