High-quality cartoon

Firearms expert James Carroll, testifying this morning for the prosecution, lectured jurors on laws propounded by Newton, and described himself as someone who produces “unbiased, objective, high-quality work.” At one point, prosecutor Alan Jackson warned Carroll that he wanted a short, simple answer: “I don’t want to engage in a science class here, very briefly.” Prosecutors displayed Carroll’s notes analyzing the crime scene on a screen, showing a rough outline of a gun pointed at a simple stick figure. The picture depicted a gunshot the way a cartoonist would draw it for the funny papers. Carroll, in his testimony, said he concluded that the barrel of the murder weapon was inside victim Lana Carkson’s mouth when it discharged. But he could not say, as defense lawyer Linda Kenney Baden pointed out, whose finger was on the trigger.
