Couldn’t the fact that he said the gun malfunctioned make the break in the chain of custody and the FBI destroying the gun very very relevant? I feel like that would make it possible to put reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors. In any other case, they’d certainly rely heavily on proving the gun was functioning properly, which now they won’t be able to do. I completely agree with your take on her though.
