Bet the jury is also confused with his big words@alcaprari23
A lot of ballistic jargon being thrown around, but I'll do my best to summarize to my understanding. Tobin is defining striations: essentially marks left behind when a gun is fired. For what it's worth, the court reporter also looks confused by these big words!

Here is the 9-1-2005 FBI press release regarding comparative bullet analysis. It appears to me this is referring to bullet lead examination when the gun was not recovered or the bullet was too mutilated. I don't see anything in this PR that mentions the discontinuation of tool mark identification or comparison.@JessicaTaylorTX
Tobin asked about his research on comparative bullet analysis, which he previously called “defunct.” Tobin says September 1, 2005 the FBI was vacating the practice and would not offer it as a forensic service.

When you confuse jurors, you run the risk that they will just tune you out. JMOBet the jury is also confused with his big words
No. Zzzzzzzz.This is not the typical person's wheelhouse. moo
It's the fall back plan -if stolen gun is unlikely to raise some doubt, maybe bullets could have come from different gun will.This seems, to me, like it may be the defense's star witness. His soul job seems to be to cast doubt on the ballistics findings, or confuse the jurors, and he has seemingly impressive credentials. Do we think the defense will rest after this witness?
A shooter on the grassy knoll? We are in Texas, after all.It's the fall back plan -if stolen gun is unlikely to raise some doubt, maybe bullets could have come from different gun will.
I'm trying to recall what they said about the bullets so far. Didn't they state one was too melted to analyze but the others...?It's the fall back plan -if stolen gun is unlikely to raise some doubt, maybe bullets could have come from different gun will.

Quartaro discussing transfer DNA and how someone doesn't have to necessarily touch something in order for their DNA to be on it. Someone else can act as the intermediary. Blood, saliva, semen and skin are the main sources of DNA, Quartaro says.

Yep, but I think the jury may have already tuned out on the defense’s endless bolstering of him before he even got into discussing this caseWhen you confuse jurors, you run the risk that they will just tune you out. JMO
The markings on the others were consistent to strongly consistent with known bullets fired from her gun, IIRCI'm trying to recall what they said about the bullets so far. Didn't they state one was too melted to analyze but the others...?
I have to imagine that she would try earnestly to not perjure herself. And going on record here: if my sister ever shows up while I’m doing my artist colony camping thing and she randomly needs my passport: I am quizzing her on what she did, because that girl be GUILTY. And if she left without asking me for it and I henceforth discovered it missing: that girl be even GUILTIER, as they say. I believe high likelihood jurors would agree.I'm not Rick, but exactly... so why waste everyone's time? She's not a credible or useful witness, imo.
