Re: Burg charges

The basic problem for the prosecution is that the discrepancy in shells shows that the officer is less than truthful. Who could forget how many times they fired a gun at another person? So, if he's lying about that who knows what else he's lying about. Maybe you weren't even really there at the storage facility.
