Funny, just today on one of the 'trial' shows on TV (something like Cold Case Files) they had a jury ignore what the experts presented, do their own reenactments to decide how a gun would land during a suicide.
​
Two things struck me as interesting about the show. The police and ME claimed the gun was planted because blood was splatted under and on top the gun and the gun was too close to the body.
​
The defense expert stated that the blood would be under pressure and traveling faster and the hand would release after the bullet entered. He then went on to talk about the myth of bodies being blown backwards from the force.
​
It really did seem that the jury voted more on the way they thought things should be then what was reported to them in court.
