He printed the gun himself and was caught carrying a bag with the weapon and writings about the actions he took. No fuckin chance.

    Police broke chain of custody on pretty much his entire kit. If it isn't submittable as evidence, the DA is going to have a hellish time putting him at the scene of the crime.

    Oh okay sure pal, I guess since the files were on his home computer means he just sold the gun to the local police two states away who then committed the crime, tricked him into traveling there, and then framed him. /sarcasm

    EDIT: BTW a judge ruled the evidence can still be shown to the jury.

    The thing about ghost guns is that anyone can print them.

    Past that, they can probably get him on some kind of conspiracy to print a dearly weapon charge with the computer files. But that's a long way from putting him at the scene of the crime with the murder weapon on the day in question.

    It's not even a question of if he did it. It's the problem of bringing the evidence they have in front of a jury without it getting tossed by the judge first.

    He left the suppressor on the scene, we're way past the stage of trying to tie the weapon to the crime.

    Do the prosecutors have anything to tie him to it? Or did they just find a suppressor and assert it was his because he's the guy they caught?
