A banker was found dead in his locked office with a gunshot wound to the head and a revolver in his right hand. A suicide note rested on the desk. Detective Sterling examined the position of the revolver, the trajectory of the bullet, and the fact that the banker was strictly left-handed. He immediately called for a murder investigation. Why?
A strictly left-handed person would not naturally hold and fire a gun with their right hand to commit suicide.
Handedness is a crucial forensic detail; left-handed individuals almost exclusively use their dominant hand for tasks like writing or firing a weapon.
