Lillelid murders
Delfina Lillelid was shot eight times, and all eight bullets were recovered six were from a 9mm and two were from a .25 caliber. The first of these shots fired by a 9mm shattered the bone in her left arm, and the second shot, also from a 9mm, shattered the thigh of her left leg. Dr. Blake testified that these shots would not have produced her death, but would have caused severe pain and the victim would not have been able to stand. Mrs. Lillelid was shot six additional times while on her back, with the first three shots striking the left side of her abdomen.
It was Dr. Blake's opinion that these shots were fired to form a triangular pattern,
similar to the injuries inflicted on Mr. Lillelid. The three shots pierced her stomach,
leaving a four to five inch tear, and traveled through her pancreas, spleen, left
kidney, and left adrenal. A final 9mm entry wound was located at the mid-section of
Mrs. Lillelid's abdomen just above her navel and was recovered from her spine.
There was a .25 caliber gunshot wound under her left armpit, where the bullet lodged in the
skin on the back of her left shoulder. Another shot caused a wound to
Mrs. Lillelid's left side, and the bullet was recovered from the center of her liver. She
also suffered abrasions on her right calf. Mrs. Lillelid's wounds were not immediately fatal, and that she could have been conscious for as long as 25 minutes, including when her body was driven over by the van.
