Wasn’t there discrepancies of some sort between the two ballistics tests...? Maybe some further investigation could be done...?

The first ballistics test only established that “the manufacturer of the firearm that fired the copper-jacketed bullet is unknown, but could include commonly encountered models of .40 S&W caliber FN/Browning, Beretta, Heckler & Koch, and Ruger pistols.”

The second ballistics test was never admitted or discussed because for some (stupid) reason, Ramos’s attorney stipulated that the bullet came from his gun. There were all sorts of questions that would never be answered. Like how did CSanchez file a complaint saying it was Ramos’s gun, before that gun was ever even taken from Ramos’s custody? (The OIG-DHS report shows a ballistics test dated in April, a full month after the complaint/arrest). What was the chain of custody on the bullet taken from Alderete-Davila’s leg (reports said he took it home wiht him that night, along with taking OAD to stay with him). Etc., etc., etc.

So many questions—so few answers.
