You pull back the slide against spring resistance. A hook around the cartridge rim pulls it back until it strikes a projecting rod and is tumbled out through a port. A similar thing happens when the gun is actually fired, except of course an empty shell case is what flies out the port.
So...
Unspent is any cartridge not yet actually fired. The particular cartridge found at the crime scene had been loaded into a magazine, chambered, and ejected still unfired. This can be identified from certain dents and scratches.
This ejection of a fireable round from an already loaded and...
“Ah, but where’s the proof that that’s STILL him walking over to the other side of the same bridge a few minutes later in the video from a dead girl’s phone?”
Gets pretty silly, doesn’t it?
If you’re ignoring it, it doesn’t. If you respect it, you must avoid making any revelations of case details unnecessary to the point of your filing. IANAL, MOO, etc.
If you posit RA was in the advertiser censored ring with KK, it answers two questions.
“How did he know to be there, then, moving purposefully down the trail with his murder kit?”
“Why don’t the D filings ever mention KK?”
No, we don’t know what LE knows. It’s a theory. It’s my own best...
Let’s anticipate an argument that we saw the “best so far” pile of evidence in that case and were misled by it then and so might be misled now by the pile of evidence against RA.
True, but while LE looked hard at Chadwell for the Delphi killings, they never charged him. They lost little time...
I thought he was the guy. He fit the profile but nothing ever put him near the place at the time. There are apparently more sex criminals in that part of small-town Indiana than I thought possible.
And nobody saw two males of similar age, build, and dress moving along the trail within what must have been scant minutes of each other. If RA didn’t do it because RA isn’t BG, BG has to bypass RA at presumably the fish-watching north end of the bridge and take over the “lone male suspect” part...
Until we have a higher level of *reliable* detail—probably at the trial—we won’t be able to sort out questions of who wore what exactly when. When we get that level of detail, we likely won’t care about the sweats and jeans anymore.
MOO
There’s a case that BG had one. Some elements are stronger than others, but the pile looks like this: 1) some people see the outline of a pistol on BG’s pocket, 2) one of the girls says something ending in “gun,” 3) a sound like the racking of a slide is reported in the audio of Libby’s...
I don’t think RA confided his murderous designs to anyone. To that extent he is a lone wolf. However, I think he had prior knowledge that at least one girl was coming to the bridge. The likeliest means is that he was one of those “other people” who had the password to log in as Anthony Shots.
I can’t offhand think of an instance in which the defense has mentioned KAK or the A Shots personna at all. Hardly a peep. This seems a bit odd, given that this line of inquiry had legs almost right up to the time of RA’s arrest. It looked, so far as the public could tell, promising. No, the...
We don’t know for sure how much LE has been able to forensically reconstruct, or what truthful info was in RA’s alleged confessions. The trial may be enlightening if there is one. What happened in the woods is very vague to me.
