Forensic guest says immediate eyewitness reactions can matter, but warns sound direction can be misleading

What was said

""I see something like that and those are eyewitnesses immediately. Immediately. I mean, these are basically excited utterances and they're saying the shot came from down there.""

After playing a clip in which people can be heard saying the shot came from “down there”, the forensic guest says such near-immediate reactions can be treated as “excited utterances”. In the same exchange he cautions that sound perception may be distorted by surrounding structures and even crowd density, and says those factors have to be considered before drawing conclusions from direction-of-sound claims.
