      Medical examiners can miss all kinds of things, like spinal cord injury, but the missing bullets shocked me. Human nature is we find what we're looking for. Sometimes if we don't find that, we (people in general) don't find anything at all. This case is really sad.

      @@thinkingmoment From what I can remember of the reports on broadcast media, the case was not mentioned until it was known that Fleniken died from a gunshot wound, so it must have been after some amount of investigation. When it was reported, the story was that Fleniken had been shot through the wall of his motel room, accidentally, and the person who'd done it was being pursued out of state for arrest. There are sometimes follow-ups with these kind of cases here, but the only other thing I can remember is when the man who fired the gun (can't remember his name) was sentenced. There was never a suggestion of this being anything other than an accident, though "accident" doesn't really fit if you ask me, which you did. There are a really ridiculous number of cases around this area where people are hurt or killed while "playing with" guns. Most people who own guns know better. Others you can't fix.

    Thanks for a really solid handling of this case. You highlighted the critical factors: the mixing of alcohol, stupid behavior and a gun. Why would three men drink and bring in a pistol to the room other than to be motivated by the kind of carelessness associated with driving under the influence. The sentence reflects this culpability. While the other two men escaped sanction their lives have been darkened especially by their behavior following the incident. The near definite corruption of the police and coroner/medical examiner speaks for itself. The first look by the police and their failure to examine the environment properly speaks for itself and set the case off in the wrong direction. Who believes that the police did not see a bullet hole in the wall? Question where did the information that Fleniken felt a blow to his head before falling dead come from? Looking through the comments answers that question: there are many 'believers' out there.

    The oddest part in this story to me is that rooms 348 and 349 were on the same side of the hall. Most hotels, in my experience, have the even numbered rooms on one side of the hallway, and the odd numbered rooms on the other, in which case these rooms would be across from each other. But this is just my experience, yours may differ.

      Gunshot wounds can be very small, especially when they are a small caliber and don’t exit the body. There may not be any blood near the entry hole. The fact that the medical examiner didn’t autopsy the heart when natural causes were suspected was just negligence. Doctors get lazy too.

    I think that the fact that the man who shot Mr. Fleniken did not show remorse should have been considered as a reason to give him a harsher prison sentence. From what I have studied, people who don't show empathy for others who have been injured or killed by them tend to be more likely to re-offend when (and if) they are released from prison.

    I lived in a house where people were shooting in a field on an abandoned farm nearby. We did not know this at first and came home to a bullet hole in our window and it went into a pillow in the couch. It was terrifying. We then found out that our neighbors were also finding similar situations. That is when the police discovered the people doing target practice on the farm next door to the community. It’s shocking that they didn’t manage to kill or maim anyone!

  • @whoever6458
    @whoever6458 3 года назад +1

    The blunt force trauma thing makes sense to me because, at a minimum, there was a dry wall board on the wall of both adjoining rooms, which could have changed a bullet's trajectory and slowed it down. If it had ricocheted off of a stud or perhaps even just those two dry wall boards, it might still be traveling at a lethal velocity but deformed enough to appear to be a death by blunt force trauma.
    I like to shoot guns just as much as anyone else who has gone target practicing with them before but, just as we draw the line at it not being okay to drink and drive, we should draw the same line or a higher one for drinking and shooting. Shooting ain't fishing, people.
    Now there are definitely people who might say I'm an alcoholic but I do make sure that, if I'm going to drive, I don't drink. I don't think it should be any harder to not drink and mess with your guns. It's one thing if you're in your own house and someone breaks in when you happen to be drink but this was a hotel so the gun should have been left in the car for a more sober time for both tools.

    I don’t remember the exact year, probably 1993-1998, in Vancouver, WA. A fellow had purchased a new gun and was familiarizing himself with it. He accidentally discharged the weapon. It went through his wall, and through another house’s wall, killing a woman sitting in bed reading a book. I am trying to remember if the husband heard a sound and went to investigate, or just headed to bed to find his wife dead. Just a terrible, improbable tragedy, which could have been avoided if correct gun safety had been observed.

    I have an interesting take away from this story. At one point, Dr Grande mentions the door between two hotel rooms sometimes used when a family or group rent two hotel rooms together.
    This door is sometimes called a communicating door. I learned this while being a member of our local community theater, and played a role in Alan Ayckbourn's play titled Communicating Doors. It was a weird tale of a prostitute that travels through time each time she passes through the communicating door. As strange as it sounds, it is a heartwarming story that ends much happier than the above video
