What conclusion can be deduced if fine droplets of the victim's blood are found inside the muzzle of a firearm at an outdoor crime scene where the victim suffered several gunshot wounds?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include points such as the following:
The drawback effect occurs when back spatter strikes the gunman and enters the gun muzzle. Fine impact spatter from a gunshot also travels a relatively short distance before falling from gravity. Blood within the muzzle of a gun helps an investigator place this suspect handgun in relatively close proximity to the inflicted gunshot wound.
