Three points or questions I raise:
The FBI criteria were established in the 80’s, the population is somewhere around 30% heavier etc. Therefore should the minimum penetration not be more like 16” minimum to account for larger body habitus?
Second one is, how is there consideration for human skin in the equation? How would that change findings or how is it accounted for?
Thirdly, when I look at my Trauma CT scans, on slow times I measure things and ponder and on the scans one can clearly reach vital structures with less than 12” actually more like 8-9” or so.
Lastly, is there any equivalent to actual bone? Say for example, a 1” walnut board is similar to the average sternum, or skull?
Thanks for any insight and wisdom!
