Jack talks ballistics and crime scenes on WCCO in wake of St. Paul shooting that kills 1, injures 14.
It was a really tough weekend in St. Paul. A gun battle erupted inside of the Truck Park Bar on 7th just down the street from Excel Energy Center. As a result, a 27 year old woman is dead and 14 people were shot and taken to the hospital. Three of those in hospital are possible suspects. The St. Paul Police Department moved in quickly but what exactly do they do after the fact?
As an experienced criminal defense attorney with expertise in criminal forensics, Jack knows how it can impact a criminal case.
According to reports, there were victims in the street, on the sidewalk and inside the bar. A police spokesman mentioned that there was only “evidence inside the bar of the shootings.” When this was reported, I immediately thought about a couple of conclusions including that this wasn’t a drive-by but then I started thinking about crime scene control, getting videotapes including possible phones, interviews and on and on.. As a former prosecutor and former federal agent as well as criminal defense attorney, I frequently have to assess police conduct and policies in the context of defending those charged with crimes.
As I think about a crime scene involving guns, one simple example is how to deal with shell casings and specifically what the police would do. It is not just about cleaning them up. They are counting the number of shots, determining the kinds of rounds that many have been fired, digging them out of walls and cars, the types of weapons used, the number of weapons used and may, although hard to do, grab partial prints on those shell casings. This is just one of multiple steps that the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the police themselves would be involved in doing at this early stage.

Listen to Jack’s Interview with WCCO Radio’s Adam Carter regarding the Chauvin Trial
Listen to Jack’s interview with WCCO Radio’s Adam Carter. Things are starting to ramp up on the Chauvin trial. There is a hiccup with the Court of Appeals rejecting Judge Cahill’s decision to toss the 3rd degree murder count. This means that we are now looking at three counts: 2nd degree unintentional murder, 3rd degree murder and manslaughter.
Picking a jury in the case is going to be extraordinary. The pressure is on for all sides and people will have strong opinions walking into the room. That is certain. The question is, can you set that aside? Actually, depending upon what people think, both camps may not want people to set that aside.
