NorthSideSox72 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 18, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) The first, and easiest, thing they will do is a ballistics comparison. Take the shells,casings, or bullets at the scene, compare them to a test shot of Juan's gun. If they match, he's got some explaining to do. If they don't, then he's clear. The guage is determined by the shot used. They would know that upon visual inspection of the spent shells at the crime scene. If the gun was cleaned, it will show it wasn't fired. Since he might be anal and clean his gun everyday, a result of that test wouldn't mean much. If it was his handgun, then yeah, as you and Rock said, firing tests can be done. I was assuming, based on Jackie's post, it was the shotgun. And if they were in a car, there likely will not be any shells on the ground. So they'll have to go by spread, etc. The type of shot found isn't really an indicator of the gun, since various guages of shotgun can use various size of shot in their shells. Juan's hands could also be tested for residue, but I am not sure how long that residue normally stays in the skin (or how effectively it could be scrubbed out). That wouldn't confirm the gun, but would confirm if he'd fired one recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Everything I've read just says 'his gun' (or something similarly generic), and a shotgun is involved, so I was just asking what tests they could do for a shotgun, in principle. I don't know either way what sort of gun he turned in. Of course I know what to do with a pistol. I have watched CSI, thank you very much.

Steff Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 A shotgun shot does leave barrel marks on whatever is expelled from it, and a firing test would confirm if the gun he turned in was used in the shooting. Being in a car means little because shells from any fired weapon can be projected anywhere. Unless they picked them up, they can be anywhere. As well, guage can be determined from the pellets. GSR washes off with one soap and water washing. Jackie, the same tests they run on handguns are used for shotguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of shotgun shot is that you cannot tell anything from damage to the shot. The shot is just a bunch of little metal beads, so you cannot get a pattern on them. And in this case, I didn't get the knowledge from TV. Tests on shotguns show blast pattern and spread, and some other factors. But the shot isn't usable for identification to a specific gun (unless things have changed a lot in the last 10 years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they have identifying characteristics to that type of cartridge. Not to the gun. Think about it. A small metal pellet, which is round, could be scarred in an infinitely variable set of ways, none of which are particular to the barrel of any one gun. Now, I suppose if they shotgun was loaded with slugs, then you could do identify scoring marks from a specific barrel. Matching shotguns to any sort of evidence they leave, as a rule, is problematic.

As I specified in the post you responded to, I was referrering specifically to the guage of the pellets and not identifying marks on the pellets, of which most don't even touch the inside of the barrel so whatever is on them is usually only what they've hit. I've already commented on the matching of shells - the pellet housing - via test firing in a previous post. One has nothing to do with the other and I certainly wasn't implying that they did.

Chisoxfn Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I hope it proves him innocent and all of this non-sense can end. Despite his offensive problems (ie unwillingness to walk which gets him in trouble) Uribe is one of my favorite players in all of baseball to watch (especially out in the field).

southsideirish71 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hopefully we can either get Hrniak to work with Uribe again for a refresher on how to keep his front end from starting the tazmanian spin, or we dish him out and get someone who can provide some bat control.

I'm not so sure if they'd deal him, but Omar Vizquel plays great defense, will post an OPS greater than .698 (Uribe's OPS from last season,) and makes a little over $4 million.
