[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4063618, member: 26737"] The way I understand it, if it was admissible before, it will still be admissible as evidence. All that's really changing is that the expert witness is no longer allowed to make definitive statements about ballistics evidence. Frinstance, he can still say that the rifling marks on the bullet are consistent with rifling marks from that gun, he just can't say that [I]this specific bullet[/I] was [I]definitely[/I] fired from [I]that specific gun[/I] based on the rifling marks. Presumably, that would extend to related forms of evidence, like markings on cases and primers. [/QUOTE]
