    Why wouldn't DNA be able to be taken from a casing? I don't think any "new type of testing" is needed.

    I was thinking when i read that part:
    The cases had blood on them or "something that is not normal" that would 100% link him to the cases
    Ya never know he could have cut him self or something
    I know I have cut my self on guns and loading mags.
    Just my thoughts

    I didn't realize it was so uncommon to find DNA on casing honestly. Not sure why that is.

    A couple years back I had someone break a window and climbed through . Somehow he got cut and there were 3 little blood spots on the floor about half the size of an ants bunghole. A detective came in with his kit and used 3 little Q-tip looking things and rubbed it on the spots. I did not see any transfer and the spots were still on the floor. 3 months later I was called in to look at a picture to see if I recognized a fellow. They had gotten a match from the data base and the guy was already serving time at Angola.

    As in it couldn't be the guy because he was at Angola at the time?

    Just my assumptions from a layman
    My wife loves the 1st 48, so in attempt ti send more time with her I do as well.
    I am always amazed at how dumb they are, when it is not done in the heat of the moment.
    Thank god they are that dumb

    Maybe he etched his name in the casings. Along with Kill Em All on the slide, and a punisher end plate. Oh and smile and wait for the flash on the end of the barrel. Lol

    Surprised me too..

    [FONT=&quot]Moore said the suspect's DNA was found on shell casings, which he said normally "does not happen."

    [FONT=&quot]"To find DNA on spent shell casing just doesn't happen anywhere in the nation," Moore said in giving high praise for quality police work by investigators.[/FONT]

    Exactly, I figured getting DNA on casing would be relatively routine. I would like to ask a forensic pathologist the reason DNA on casings is so uncommon?

    Article also says he bought a silencer in july 2017, I wonder if that's when he sent in paperwork or received it.

    In the news conference the DA said he bought the gun in Baton Rouge and was getting a silencer but didn't have it yet

    If it's a very minute amount I imagine firing the gun causing heat and gasses to ruin much chance of finding It in most cases. Maybe I dunno

    Something about this case just screams setup.

    Idk. Hopefully they got the right guy and not just one to appease the gentle masses.

    Not saying I agree with "setup" but if it's that rare to find DNA on casing then damn, they got lucky! I truly hope that isn't what's happening just to get a conviction.
