Engineer challenges Goebel bullet path in Goebel case in Kentucky
A specialist examined the Capitol grounds in Frankfort and argued the bullet that struck Goebel could not have fired from the secretary of state’s office sill. He cited measurements of 14-16 inches drop per foot and 17-16 inches drop to the foot, concluding the shot would not align with Goebel’s supposed position near the Thornberry tree. The testimony contrasts with earlier witness accounts, as both sides reargue timelines and ballistic theory amid impeachment-style questioning. Chamberlain’s Colic remedy ads appear in the same column.
