Gun toting freepers tell me that it is easy to alter the weaopn to change the distinctivb fingerprint. Do we know for a fact that they all have the same fingerprint?
"Ballistic evidence has conclusively linked this case to the other murders in the area."
And it is just as easy for a forensics expert to CONVINCE A JURY (which is the important thing) that this bullet came from this gun because you can see it was altered in this way...
