If Yantis gun was the only 204 at the scene, and there was a 204 bullet found in the pavement. That evidence would at least seem to impeach the deputies testimony.
If that is so, Won't a lie cast doubt to their entire statements be enough to be brought before a jury?
Nothing to say it was not fired days before and ended up on the road. Nothing to say it was fired from Yantis rifle. I am not taking sides, just saying there is no proof to being to court. .
