Well if the rifle was originally stuck between in that gap in the 2rows of boxes , which it’s now indeterminate (imo )how close was the Center box they moved , vs 1” approx gap of box left and right side, such that then the rifle fell down AFTER moving that center box, then should not this event have been officially NOTED?
And if the rifle falls from its vertical alignment to sideways alignment, because LT. Day moved another box slightly , and this was just BEFORE Alyea starts his film, then should not this detail also have officially Noted?
Since it appears there is no statement about this specific other than just a general comment that boxes were moved, one has to decide if it’s just another negligent sloppy handling of evidence or if it’s intentional deception.
