May have been rendered inoperable after the fact by the McCloskeys for that very purpose, to "prove" that it was not operable. They are lawyers who have proven skilled at working the system in the past. In other words, it may have been 100% operable at the time.
Lots of wiggle room here. .
I once sat on a jury for a DUI case. No doubt the guy was intoxicated when he pulled into a parking lot and hit another car. Witness smelled alcohol on his breath. Know why we couldn't in good conscience convict him? The cops lost him for an hour. Yep, I said lost. Responding officer initially interviewed the suspect, then told him to sit on a curb while he walked across the parking lot to look in the car for some sort of paperwork. As soon as the officer turned, the suspect ran. No handcuffs, nothing. Ran away.
An hour in which he ran to a buddies apartment that was having the party he just came from and answered the door with a bottle of booze in his hand. Prosecution couldn't prove that he was over at he time of the accident, only at the time of arrest. A lot of booze can be consumed in an hour - and this dude knew it. Used it to his advantage.
You bet your ass they tampered with the weapon, knowing the chain of custody didn't exist and the loophole in the law did.
