In reply to the discussion: Private autopsy claims Vonderrit Myers shot while fleeing [View all]branford
(4,462 posts)Most importantly, it does not indicate if Myers fired on the officer, no less disprove the previously released GSR evidence that indicated Myers possessed and fired a gun. If Myers fired at the officer, the officer's returning fire would be permissible and Myers wounds entirely consistent with the autopsy. The fact that Myers died of gunshot wound is not in dispute.
Although the autopsy notes a head wound, it also doesn't indicate any "execution shot" by the officer after Myers was purportedly no longer a threat. That theory appears to be based solely on an unnamed and unknown witness claimed by the family.
The autopsy is certainly relevant evidence and not part of a conspiracy theory. However, absent actual evidence, any claims that the police planted the gun or other evidence or engaged in any other malfeasance, most certainly exits only in the realm of unsubstantiated conspiracies.
