Looks like the defence won :)

Balish accepted as expert firearms examiner... but state still objecting to his reconstruction.... being questioned on his qualifications as a "Re-constructionist"

he has been accepted in court "Dozens of times" as a firearm re-constructionist.

He HAS worked for prosecutors in past (Important point.. some so called experts have a bias)

Hand gun or rifle more common

Testified in court on crime scene with shotgun involved... less that a dozen times.

There are no published standards on crime scene reconstruction

Questioning over... I did not catch if he is accepted or not? He is carrying on... so I guess he's in?

He recognises the gun in evidence... he did test firing last week

Gun is not "choked"... so no good at distance... shot starts to spread immeadiately

He test fired using shells from box found at scene
