If you notice his awkward arm movement during the demo, you'll notice the awkward position he moved his wrist. He was on the ground prone, so it would have been limited in both arm and elbow movement. If you do this yourself on the floor, you'll notice how awkward a position it is for your arm. You twist a little, maybe even strain your wrist yo get to the gun.

With someone on top of you, the movement makes the gun closer to your face than would otherwise be allowed while standing. Try this at home, and just imagine someone on top of you holding you down. Notice the tendency of your hand to move close to your upper chest/face area. You can even do this while seated, so you can continue to read this riveting post of mine

With your arm in that position, it's likely the kickback of the gun would make it move towards your face, especially if you lean in a bit. It's the first thing I thought of when seeing the re-enactment. Presumably, they tested the gun for all possible evidence and DNA.
I can see it....

If anybody thinks they have a smoking gun at this point, they're delusional.

There are no good witnesses for the state.

Silly little......., no, big Angela knew that, but she didn't want Al Sharpton in her town, so she filed and got him off her back.

The recoil might have slammed his head into the ground, too.

Still you don't want to be called a racist. I guess you could not refrain yourself from making such comments for ever.

you aren't aware that 72% of black children are raised by a single parent?
Facts aren't "racist".
