– Cops disown roundsBy Latoya GilesIndependent forensic ballistics expert Dr. Mark Robinson, in testifying yesterday at the Commission of Inquiry into the July 18 fatal shooting of three Lindeners, stated that the men were shot with ammunition which the police said that they had stopped using seven years ago.Dr. Robinson, a British national, has since submitted a detailed report on his findings to the commission.  In his report, Robinson stated that all the projectiles recovered from the three deceased were copper-plated lead 00 buckshot pellets, ammunition which the police force said that they stopped using since 2005.Robinson explained that while most buckshot ammunition is commercially manufactured, in the absence of spent cartridge cases and wadding from the scene, he was unable to rule out the possibility that home-loaded or modified shotgun cartridges were used.The expert also said that he has seen no evidence of the pellets having ricocheted prior to impact with the deceased. It was Assistant Superintendent Patrick Todd who told the commission that he fired to the ground to scare the protestors.Ballistics Expert Dr. Mark Robinson yesterday with Attorney at law Nigel HughesDr. Robinson also stated that from the locations of the victims,[url=http://www.basketballstore.us@#$%&/]NBA Authentic Jerseys[/url], the evidence is consistent with shots having been fired along the road towards the Wismar/Mackenzie Bridge and from the road towards the Linmine Secretariat Building. Robinson said that he however has not seen any fired wadding,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysfactorywholesale@#$%&/]Cheap NFL Jerseys China[/url], pellets or confirmed gunshot damage at the scene which might assist in confirming or refuting this scenario.With regards to Allan Lewis, one of the victims, he said there were two impact-damaged lead buckshot pellets recovered from the body at the post mortem. He said that the dimensions of the pellets correspond to 00 buckshot. He noted that there were also traces of a copper colouration on both pellets. Neither of the pellets,[url=http://www.cheapnfljerseysmr.us@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys Supply[/url], he said,[url=http://www.chinanfljerseysauthentic.us@#$%&/]Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale[/url], bore evidence of having ricocheted from a road surface.In relation to Ron Somerset,[url=http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/]@#$%& shoes for women[/url], the second victim, he said that there were two impact-damaged lead buckshot pellets recovered at the post mortem examination. Robinson said that the dimensions of the least damaged pellet (from the chest) corresponded to 00 buckshot.He further noted that the pellet from the left thigh was in a badly flattened condition which was consistent with 00 buckshot. According to the expert, there were traces of copper plating on the both of the pellets and neither pellet bore evidence of having ricocheted from a road surface.With Shemroy Bouyea there was an impact damaged lead buckshot pellet recovered at the post mortem.
