Thanks for laying this out! I'm now updating my list of 'junk sciences' to include ballistics! Also, thanks for mentioning Steve Bright's book. I somehow missed it when it came out. Looks like the paperback is coming out in April this year, so the timing is good. Maybe something you want to lift up again in the coming months.
Amazing! For someone whose husband watches all police and legal procedurals, this is a revelation. We've been almost indoctrinated to believe in "ballistic experts." You have enabled me to look at this accepted truth from another angle and simultaneously see the legal effect of these two opposing views. If we overturned that practice, it would result in an unbelievable flood of appeals (rightfully so). Thank you for explaining what has been put forth as truth. We need this sort of information to make sense of our world.
Fascinating article!

The opinions of judges are the toilet paper I wipe my ass with after the system shits on me. Goddamn whoever came up with subservient culture.
