And they BOTH missed Yoko?
Chapman was a dumbass, probably got whatever ammo he could find.
December 8, 1980. That would have been a good time to do a proper investigation.
Seriously.
Now the investigation will be just like starting over.
Haha! And Haha! To comment #1 too. Both brilliant retorts.
That was excellent.
Yoko had NO skill.
So much for karma being instant
I always trust the Brits for gun information. A .38 Special revolver can fire a variety of bullet types, including semi-wadcutters, jacketed hollow points (no, they are not the same thing), and “lead” bullets.
I’m assuming the NYPD noted the brass left in the gun, and searched Chapman’s home for his ammo. They would have noted if there were discrepancies. He could very well just have had a mixed load in his cylinder, especially if he was scrounging given NYC’s gun laws.
Semi wadcutters are not hollow point bullets and those of that era were typically lead, although there are some that are copper plated lead.
Other than those dulcet tones when she sang!
IMAGINE if they got this all wrong and it was the Eggman? Kookookachu
Thank you!
Imagine one more shooter.
Just like the other shooter was Jackie.
Isn't it obvious?
They wanted to kill their husbands so they could get their loot.
Starting over but with 40-year-old evidence. “I’d like to see the body”. “No, no you wouldn’t”.
I don’t understand. It’s not a big deal to load different types of ammo into a revolver.
There were pamphlets circulating around NYC at the time claiming the CIA wanted Lennon out of the picture. He was having a career renaissance and they didn’t want his peacenik ways interfering.
Not saying I agree, just reporting what I remember.
