Ballistic Evidence and Firearms Investigations

The chapter delves into the analysis of firearms evidence in connection to two homicides, focusing on the challenges of comparing shell casings, the significance of test-firing a suspected weapon, and the difficulties in narrowing down the make and model of a murder weapon. It also discusses the complexities of linking bullets to a specific gun, DNA evidence on a stocking cap, and the uncertainties in matching bullets to crimes despite finding 32 caliber bullets in suspects' residences.
