she's not been paying attention to the discussions online that have ruled out 'a second gun/shooter' and is currently entertaining a variation of 'the magic bullet theory' (specifically, a different, 'special' bullet).
or she's not nearly as intelligent as I thought she was. And yeah, "common sense still rules the roost." Uh, no! This BS story isn't any more believable than what's been postulated heretofore. She is at least shooting down the .30-06 bullet and rifle myth as it's simply impossible for a human spine, even neck vertebrae comparative to steel, to stop such a bullet. She's suggesting a smaller gun, with the perp possibly a lot closer and even visible in the camera footage captured by TPUSA that was quickly taken down and never released to the public.
Well, let's not forget:
Candace has '
seen the footage from the camera behind Charlie with her own eyes'.
Therefore, IN HER MIND it is already a FACT that he was shot from the front (his left).
She can only perceive that large wound on the left of his neck (viewers right) as an entry wound, rather than
exit wound / she is marrying that up with the info regarding the bullet fragment found (allegedly).
If Candace knew more about entry/exit wounds she would probably look at this differently, but she is looking for FACTS using her limited knowledge and trusting what she believes she sees. Because of what she PERCEIVES she has seen (or hasn't been able to see in the footage from behind Charlie) she believes she must be correct: 'this must be the logical answer', her brain is trying to fill in the gaps and ignore what was happening with his shirt blowing up front and back etc.
Also,
perhaps because it is so traumatic for her to witness this footage, she may have 'blocks' on being able to truly SEE this horrific and devastating event over and over (objectively) and theorise about the details.
I don't know how many times I could watch horrific footage like that of someone I loved like a brother. I personally saw the footage accidentally and was extremely upset, shocked and disturbed and it made me very emotional, as I feel when I see any human (or animal) suffering something so terrible. Could I watch that over and over if it was someone I love - and be objective? I feel I would really struggle. I only saw it once and couldn't cope with watching it again. I feel Candace's traumatised mind is seeking order and structure so it doesn't become overwhelmed, this is the only way she can control things and manage her distress and feel like she is doing something that is making a difference.
She is also hyper focused on many other details regarding the case, she clearly does not believe Tyler killed Charlie, I don't feel she is intentionally trying to mislead anyone. She is just trying to make sense of a huge amount of information (and conjecture from others) as well as listening to her own guidance and intuition, it must be getting pretty exhausting.
Candace would be
extremely tired right now, it has been a MONTH since Charlie's death (wow that went fast) and this has been with her every single day - to the extreme. She has been in deep shock and unable to properly grieve, she is under constant attack from so many directions. She has also just begun to home school her kids, is working very long hours on massive flow of CK tips/footage review/timeline. She is not only having to deal with the grief and stress of everything connected to Charlie's death, there are of course the potential threats to the lives of herself and her own family, which clearly does not only involve her children and husband.
She may not be 'onto' to the
'killer microphone' situation because:
- doesn't know that is a 'thing' - I mean most people who witnessed Charlie's murder started with the gun theory
- needs educating about entry / exit wounds on the human body from different weapons (ewww vomit)
- heard a gunshot in the audio (even though there were two shots) and assumes that means a weapon was fired at Charlie from some distance (even if she now thinks it was closer)
- having viewed the footage from cameras behind Charlie, her eyes see only one possible 'entry' point on his body so it's the only LOGICAL answer in her mind
- this marries up with the fact that she has been told there was partial remnant of a bullet found in his head/neck (I think).
She has a lot going on guys, and the system is watching her every move. She is a human being doing her level best in a system that clearly wants to tear her to pieces.
I think she is doing an amazing job. I hope she can get some quality time with her family and an opportunity to rest and recharge, come back with fresh eyes / new energy and not wear herself out too much.
I think a part of Charlie is watching everything and cheering Candace on with gusto.
Continued prayers of protection for Candace and those closest to her.
At the moment, very few people have figured it out. (And we all had access to what the C's said about it too and it made sense). Hopefully that will change as time goes on. The gun and ballistic bros were all over the fact that it wasn't a 30.O6 from the very beginning. They have multiple problems with trajectory and entrance and exit wound. Guess they haven't figured out the sound of the rifle shot and the injury were just too simultaneous.
