She said that at the end of the song she put the shotgun on to the floor beside her. With tears streaming down her face she said: "It just went off…it just went bang."

Bull feathers.

Guns don't "just go off."

The "weapons expert" the defense dug out of the gutter doesn't convince me either. Moreover, the testimony of neighbors hearing an argument nails it for me.

The probability of a firearm discharging by "placing it on the floor" is very remote. I believe she murdered him.

Did it "just go off" a second or third time, too?

How embarassing

It would seem to me his wound would disprove her allegation-it's unlikely a gun on the floor could shoot a man in the chest, especially if he's sitting in a chair.

He was shot in the chest while sitting in a chair. The gun was laying on the floor.

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that it is impossible for a long gun laying on the floor can shoot up at an angle of more than 0 degrees and hit a target that is at least 30 inches off the floor.
