[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article says the “weapon was consistent” with the one used, but it says he was carrying a ghost gun. Can you use any billet with a ghost gin? There’s no DNA. And his backpack was found Friday by the carousel, but he left days earlier. Also, the 5 minutes arrival.

I think the prosecuters are going to have their work cut out for them. We’ll see if the jury is willing to convict on a fake ID and manifesto. Unless he acts as his own lawyer, then it will be easy. [/quote]

A ghost gun is just a gun that isn't manufactured by a major gun manufacturer.  They often don't have serial numbers.  Like most other guns, they are designed to fire a specific caliber of ammunition.  You don't need a specific brand or variety.

I don't know why you think this is a bad case.  Presumably the gun he had on him can be linked ballistically to the bullets/casings recovered from the scene.

But I’m asking how that’s possible? Are you saying that they would have known it was a ghost gun? A lot of ballistic experts on DCUM and not one person mentioned it.

I think it *might* be a bad case because I served on a jury with a complicated timeline. The above needs to be answered/proved. [/quote]

A ghost gun looks just like a regular gun.  You don't necessarily know until you handle it and disassemble it.

By ballistics evidence, I mean a microscopic comparison of the casings/bullets recovered from the scene/victim and bullets/casings test fired from the weapon recovered from the suspect's bag.  [/quote]

Got it, thanks. [/quote]
