Billy and Wanda are buying dope from Larry. Billy decides to rob Larry with a knife. At 3' away, Larry pulls a gun, fires once, and kills Billy. Wanda swears that Billy was 20' away and backing up with Larry murdered him. There are no other witnesses or video. Which would Larry rather have from the lab?
A factory exemplar result vs the actual result of whatever reload, evidence that impeaches the shooter's story and corroborates the (liar) witness story.
A factory exemplar result vs the actual result of a factory round, evidence that impeaches the (liar) witness story and corroborates the shooter's story.
Wouldn't the factory/reload issue be moot at that point? Both Wanda and Larry would be charged with murder regardless, as they were committing a crime when a death occurred.
