!showerthoughts@lemmy.world doesn’t allow politics so I’ll post it here
the feds are tripping over their feet doing ANYTHING to kill him and hes just existing. it’s the Steam effect, do nothing and your opponents will stumble around making themselves look like idiots
Yep, it’s absolutely extremely incredibly absurdly lucky and convenient that he just happened to be carrying a confession and the gun on his person for the cops to “find”.
Otherwise, they would never have been able to connect him to the crime and wouldn’t have a prosecutable case, eyebrow pics just aren’t enough.
Finding the ghost gun in his posession is literally the only way it could have been useful evidence against him, if they had found it ditched at the scene or in any other place, it couldn’t have been traced to him without doubt. Why would he still have had it when the whole point of using a ghost gun is to ditch it?
Hopefully his lawyers insist on an independent ballistics report.
Ballistic analysis is pseudoscience nonsense. A report from the National Academy of Sciences debunks nearly all fields of forensic “science”, besides DNA analysis. Fingerprinting, shoe/tire print analysis, blood splatter analysis, bullet marking analysis, hair-matching microscopy, etc are literally all nonsense with no backing by peer reviewed science.

It’s wild how many innocent people have died in prison because fake scientists were willing to swear an oath that their bullshit was real.
It’s blood spatter.
