Eli Epiha pleaded guilty earlier this month to murdering Hunt after being chased by police through Massey in June, last year.
But, the 25-year-old claims the shooting of the unarmed officer was the result of recklessness - rather than murderous intent.
He remains on trial because he denies attempting to murder Hunt's partner, Constable David Goldfinch, who was also shot.
The Herald's Craig Kapitan says a pathologist has testified to the High Court jury about Hunt's wounds.
He says any three of the four shots could have been the one that killed him - and there's no way Hunt could have survived.
