No, Finn, I am asking the same questions that the lawyers and police that have visited over the past couple months are asking.
If you have a police witness who stated he knew there were fingerprints on the gun, you analyze the gun. If you find one of the twelve rounds went off at an odd tangent to the firing arc and ended up in an apartment wall to the south, you find out if it can be explained, or if it contradicts said testimony.
If you have blood splatter patterns, you don't just stop and say they are within a reasonable expected area. You analyze the droplet leading edge to determine if they indicate motion, and rate of speed. A droplet will spread far differently for an injured person racing at an officer at greater than 15 mph, vs an injured person staggering forward at 1 mph, stumbling to stay upright.
If all these details line up at the first go around when developing the evidence portfolio, and then line up a second time at trial in an adversarial process, you are gold. Wilson can be cleared with very little prejudice. If the SPECIFICS don't line up with the first go around, then there is a case. With our county DA, we never made it to a very detailed analysis.
