the gun was a revolver, a smith and wes son .357. it s a very strong gun to pull the trigger. you need 12 pounds of pressure on that trigger. it s not the kind of gun that can easily be fired by accident. i stood in the normal stance in which you fire a weapon. i noticed this weapon was a little bit more difficult as far as firing in the sense that pressure on the trigger was a little bit more you needed a little bit more pounds of pressure to the trigger of the gun. another unusual factor is that burn marks on the victim s face show the gun was fired 18 inches away from her face. one forensic expert said in 20 years of experience he has never come across a suicide in which the gun was fired 18 inches away from the victim s head. shepard? shepard: steve harrigan covering the trial from our florida newsroom. thanks. the military reporting two marines killed in a chopper crash in southern california.
