Trivia[]
- At the end, Jessica says, "ballistics will prove that the bullet came from your gun". It's impossible to do a ballistic test on a bullet fired from a gun using a "silencer", that's partly why they're illegal in the United States.
- Correction: Suppressors and silencers do not affect the ballistic markings of a fired round at all. All a suppressor does is trap and slowly release the gas pressure created by the fired bullet thus reducing the sound and maybe reducing the range by a few meters. The only way a suppressor would affect ballistics is if it were damaged internally. So no, Jess was right.
- The Case-breaker: Sgt. Barnes knew the missing portrait was of Johnny and his kids.
