72. this lab 'finding' does NOT say that the bullet did not come from the indicated gun
Tue Mar 31, 2026, 07:50 PM

merely that it could not be conclusively 'matched' to that gun. (as many fired rounds are not capable of being - and as forensic scientists and prosecutors will be very quick to point out to a jury) And the fact that so many people (up and down this thread, and elsewhere ) are not capable of this rather basic level of understanding and reason ... Is a major factor in why 'schlock reporting' and conspiracy nonsense runs rampant in our current social milieu.

The evidence for this man having committed the crime is - both abundant, and near to overwhelming.

But, play your little 'shadow government conspiracies' and 'police can't be trusted' games if you wish. It's just that it would play out so much better - if you would chose a target that was even marginally tenable/believable. And this one clearly is not.
