DaniFesto — X Posts
@_DaniFesto is the analyst most cited across the site's ballistics pages for the entry-angle argument — that the geometry of a rooftop shot does not fit the reported wound location. The bullets below are claims attributed to their X posts, not official findings.
Claims from X posts
- A shot from the Losee Center roof (~120 m east, roughly 5–9° downward) would likely strike the face or jaw first — not the throat. (Primary post)
- The reported entry is instead between the larynx and trachea, left of the cervical spine — a more straight-on path.
- Quoting @AndrewKolvet-sourced wound descriptions, the thread argues prosecutors ask the public to accept a bullet entering at C2 from ~5–9° down that "magically" missed the face and jaw before traveling to C6/C7 and the thoracic cavity — summarized at Wound Trajectory Angle.
- A .30-06 fired from the east would be expected to produce a catastrophic neck exit and blood on the white tarp — disputed against scene descriptions. See Ballistics and Wound Analysis.
Investigative value
The angle-versus-entry argument is one of the pillars of Trajectory–Wound Mismatch and appears in the Tyler Robinson shooting overview and Weapon & Rifle pages. It is an independent analyst claim built on reported wound locations that remain sealed — the autopsy report is not public, which is why the argument cannot yet be closed either way.
