Apparently there are questions about the chain of custody of the gun.
Also there’s the question about why someone after shooting someone would keep the gun? Surely the whole point of a 3D printed gun is that it’s untraceable, but obviously that doesn’t work if you still have it on you days later. Why wouldn’t you throw that in the river, or even just hand it in and claim to have found it. That way your fingerprints been on it are not suspicious. Although personal I would just chuck it in the river and not trying any mind games, that would have probably worked with a previous administrations but this one, not so much.
