Patricia Resige, Knox PD firearms examiner.

Patricia was asked "what do you do?"

my reply:":doh: she examines firearms and stuff"

(sorry-JK)

 

[SuziQ]

Compared the three bullets from Chris body to three weapons...didn't catch what kind.

 

[SuziQ]

Bullets did not match revolver.

 

[SuziQ]

casings didn't match revolver either.

ETA: this was Cobbins gun.

Interesting that they don't match

 

[SuziQ]

Inconclusive on second revolver.

 

[SuziQ]

Now describing the bullets that came out of Chris.

 

[SuziQ]

Two bullets from same gun. Third bullet inconclusive.

 

[SuziQ]

Rifle had no matches. ETA: and different caliber than the 22's that came out of Chris.

Davidson's revolver? Maybe. His rifle? Absolutely not, she says of what gun used. #c-n
Kpd firearms expert - likely only one gun used to shoot Chris

Kpd firearms expert says can't say bullets from Chris' body fired from gun linked to Cobbins

 

[SuziQ]

Silver revolver, Cobbins gun was missing pieces. Hmmmm.

Defense cross is making the point that Cobbins gun doesn't work properly and inconvenient to use because you have to manual line up the cylinder.

 

[SuziQ]

Cobbins prints were not on his gun, but pros says it doesn't mean Cobbins didn't fire the gun.

 

[SuziQ]

Calling it a day. Excusing Jury.

 

[christee]

Do we know if Vanessa Coleman is in fact on the witness list? I'd love to see her up on the stand.
