The Gun

3:10pm. Dennis Lyons, a State Police firearms examiner out of Albany, takes the witness stand.

-He opens a box. He holds up a Smith & Wesson .40-caliber pistol. Serial number: PDC-0865. It is the weapon found beside deceased gunman Walter Richardson on February 28, 2006.

-Lyons testifies that the projectile (bullet) discovered during the autopsy of Officer Joseph Corr was fired from this gun and no other.

-Lyons displays the weapon again and is asked to demonstrate how it would be fired. He says, "Just so everyone knows this is a safe and unloaded weapon."

3:37pm. Wittman declines cross-examination. Back after a break...
