That is why it is essential that the shotgun is recovered and the type of shotshells used is known. Hopefully some shotshells will be recovered at the scene that can later be used in firing the distance standards. Also, patterns produced by a shotgun at any given distance can vary slightly. Multiple tests patterns will be fired at known distances and compared directly to the pattern in question. Based on this comparison a minimum and maximum firing distance can be determined."


Also, please note the Alex Jones does not name of his so called experts. Show me some evidence from a non-wacko...
That's about the 5th time I've read it. Even after 5 times the fact still stands that regardless of the differences in patterns NONE of them would be what was described in the first post of this thread from 90 feet.
