"In a shooting or murder investigation it is prudent to determine the shooter,(even if someone amitts too doing so.) This is called "STANDERED PROCEDURE""
Well, first, if you really are related to the guy who got shot, sorry your family had to go through that. Regardless of whose fault it is. You'll pardon my scepticism as to whether you are who you represent yourself to be; that has yet to be determined to my satisfaction. You first entry here could easily be an anti-gun troll stirring up controversy, or just somebody craving attention.
But on to the meat of the matter, why is it more "scientifical" to do a chemical analysis?
Scenraio: Police officers respond to a shooting. Guy A- dead of a gunshot wound. Guy B- has a warm gun, recently fired. Tells police officer "I shot him because of X"
"X" may still be a matter for dispute, and whether "X" constituted justification. But I'd say the rest of it is pretty much beyond dispute. Spending more money and time on it would be rather stupid, and uneconomical. The shooter HAS been determined. By phsyical evidence and observation.
If it was a blind grandmother covering for a gangbanger teenager with a recordby claiming to have shot the guy, maybe I could see doing a chemical analysis. But the cop on the scene is probably capable of determining if the admission seems false for purposes of covering a crime.
