..I’m a private investigator. My client is a lawyer...

If you are a PI,you would know that this info needs to come from an expert in the field because what you get on an internet forum is worthless.

Someone is paying you for this? You sound more like the defendant himself trying to create a fact pattern for your own defense. At any rate, this effort you are attempting here is certainly amateurish.

“what you get on an internet forum is worthless”

Do you mean like Buckhead and Dan Rather?

Part of research is brainstorming, just enquiring whether an idea deserves formal investigation and is therefore worth the effort. That seems to be what's going on here.

I know exactly what I’m doing. Do us a both a favor and re-read my original post.

It’ll save some time. I won’t have to spend as much time calibrating you.

And this: "...I'd like to see if I can find some relatively unimpeachable sources to back the answers up. So, opinions or general statements would be helpful. ALSO, any sources for hard data (manuf. sites, FBI studies, etc.) that I could use to back up anything I attempt to present.

From my original post.

Would it be helpful to you if I wrote it differently next time?
