Brian Leppard, GBI Crime Lab: the bullet from Sherry West leg cannot be identified or eliminated as the one fired from gun found. @wjxt4

Bottomline, the crime lab cannot confirm or deny the bullets found in the victims are the same bullets that can b fired from gun recovered.

Oh DARN. I wish they could confirm that gun from the pond as being the murder weapon. UGH. Does that give some reasonable doubt?

Previous testimony about chain of custody of the gun & lying relatives & friends is too strong. My opinion.

I hope to be in the courtroom tomorrow... any other websleuths planning to go?

Does anyone know if the person who drove to the "fishing spot" was asked if they had fishing poles & bait? I seem to remember they were there only minutes.

I wish I could go with you to see the court testimony tomorrow but I live in Illinois.
Hope you report to us here about what you see and hear! Or tweet if you have a twitter account.

I'm at home waiting on tweets along with everyone else. Mr noZ had a meeting north of ATL & I was hoping he could drop me at the Decatur Courthouse for the day, but we couldn't coordinate schedules. Sorry folks, I was planning to fill in all the blanks we want to know about this trial. Maybe it's all for the best, I may have gotten in trouble for putting the stink-eye on Gough.

I think this is at the Cobb County Courthouse, in Marietta... not Decatur.
