Sheila could not have moved around the farmhouse after receiving the first shot

[Erik Narramore]

Nevill can be shot four times and still move from upstairs to downstairs (while leaving little trace of blood, I might add), but the guilt camp say that it's not possible for Sheila to have shot herself, incurring a flesh wound, and then move from downstairs to upstairs?  I accept that it is two different individuals, but isn't there an inconsistency in the prosecution position?  Why is one possible but not the other?

I should add that one of Nevill's wounds upstairs was to the shoulder/neck area and not altogether dissimilar to the first wound incurred by Sheila.

The shots to Nevill were pretty lethal too, I should say. The guilt camp seem to think that the bullet cases should be found in close proximity to the firing, but I don't accept that follows.  The bullet cases could have been projected over quite long distances and bounced off walls, and would then have been kicked around by the raid group officers.  Nevertheless, the general position of the bullet cases provides an indication and given the position the cases are recorded as found in upstairs, it is feasible that Nevill was shot on the stairs, perhaps while ascending towards his attacker.

Given the extent of Nevill's injuries and the lack of blood, I also find it more feasible that the bullet cases are found where they are as a result of firing by the assailant from the stairs, rather than from the landing/bedroom.

In any event, the point is that Nevill could move even after sustaining such injuries, hence the question naturally rises: Why could not Sheila move around too, having incurred - if anything - lesser injury at that stage?
