A Chicago judge recently became the first judge in the country to bar the use of
ballistics matching testimony in a criminal trial. What inspired him to make
that ruling? What does it mean for other cases-- like Delphi-- where ballistics
testimony seems to play a key role?
To get some answers, we turn to Radley Balko-- a journalist whose coverage of
the case first brought it to our attention.
