So you agree that it was "circumtantial" proof?
Everything from the bullet to the gun was entered into evidence eventhough they didn't prove that the bullet came from that gun. There was no balistic report but the pictures of the round were entered into evidence (your wrong Banyon) They didn't prove that it was infact a 270 rifle that was used. Infact they were looking for a smaller caliber weapon initially.
They did "Flying Dutchman" tell him they had found the bolt. In the same closet as the gun. I don't know about you but if I was trying to hide something I wouldn't put it in the same closet that I kept the guns in.
I don't know what happened.....I don't know why someone would confess if they didn't do it other than he had already been served paper saying that he was being investigated for second degree murder and everyone as far as he was concerned thought he had done it.
There is a lot of inconsistancies that I would like to know and I'm sure in due time we will all know.
I know none of you on this board had anything to do with him getting convicted but you sure were quick to jump on the bandwagon to say he did it without a shadow of a doubt.
