LIVE COURT FEED | LORI VALLOW DAYBELL TRIAL DAY 3

The video shows a courtroom cross-examination of Detective Coons regarding the shooting of Charles Valor, where the detective concludes Charles was supine on the floor based on bullet trajectory and wound patterns, but key evidence—such as the floor and shirt—was not tested or investigated.

Key Takeaways:
• Detective testified Charles was likely supine based on bullet trajectory and wound patterns 37:55–38:02.
• The detective acknowledged the bamboo shirt could have contributed to a "short wound" but stated it wasn’t tight enough and was never tested 44:00–45:00.
• The wood floor was seized but never tested for bullet fragments, despite a defect consistent with a bullet strike 50:00–51:10.
• The detective stated the bullet’s deformation supports a shot from 2–4 feet away, consistent with a shooter in the kitchen-hallway area 59:12–1:00:00.

The detective’s conclusions rely on unverified observations and assumptions, with significant gaps in physical testing raising doubts about the reliability of the evidence.
