“I have paralegal questions?”
Can a person be shot through their right shoulder but the bullet goes through the left chest wall? Where would the person shooting have to stand?

Remember, the bullet is going to go where there is less resistance. If someone had a shot on the right shoulder or vice versa, the shoulder haver bone and probably he was shot in an angle that hit either the clavicle sideways, so the least resistant and velocity would tend to continue if the bullet is not lodged in the spinal vertebras will continue to the other side. To where he was standing and where the shot came from, it its measured by the direction of the bullet and the structures found along the way. Thank you.
This question can be answered by a forensic pathologist.
Yes, on the right side but close enough range. This has to be a powerful firearm.
