Forensic Analysis: Weighing Bullet Lead Evidence
Requested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), this report looks at whether it is scientifically sound to compare the material makeup of lead bullets found at crime scenes with bullets in the possession of criminal suspects, and to use that comparison as evidence in court.
This briefing was for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on February 10, 2004 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
