yeah, we have the same issue with blood test for dui etc..... some tests are done so quickly it makes you wonder while the guys doing the hard work getting drunks off the streets and collecting samples of blood/piss have to wait weeks sometimes for tests. Some are even loosing cases because of the long times or no results at all....it sucks!! I have never lost one because of this but I know guys who have 4 or 5 dropped because of lab work is slow/bad.

sucks!

All I can think of is they mentioned matching casings. I wonder if they matched caliber and headstamp, or possibly another physical attribute like Glock buldge. Also they could have fast tracked it because of the 4 seperate first degree murder charges to make sure he couldn’t bail and bail!

Tool marks.

Two identical guns will leave different markings on a shell casing from the extractor, ejector, bolt face, firing pin, and chamber.

The markings are as unique as a fingerprint and are not hard to spot with a comparative microscope.

Unless the caliber or manufacturer is very rare, the same caliber and headstamp are circumstantial at best. Any decent attorney could make the argument that there are hundreds, if not thousands of rounds with that caliber and headstamp in the area.

I just meant what could be compared relatively quickly without ballistics testing that might take a while longer.
