1. Apparently the prosecution conducted some forensic analysis on the recovered bullet as well as the pier concrete, and found evidence that the bullet that killed Kate had indeed ricocheted off the pier.
2. The weapon was a Sig P239, which is available in several calibers and 3 flavors: DA/SA, DAO, and "DAK trigger system developed for law enforcement" I believe the DAK Sig is the one my son owns, a twin for his USCG duty weapon. It has a 6.5 lb. long trigger pull, hardly a hair-trigger which could be readily discharged by accident. 3. It is likely that as a federal LEO, the agent had authorization to carry either his issued duty weapon or a personally owned firearm. I have had 6 different personally owned handguns over the years with written authorizations for on and off duty carry. I am sure none would have been allowed with a lighter than original trigger pull. The last was a DAO H&K. In recent decades the authorized weapons went to DA only to decrease the possibility of accidental discharge and subsequent liability. Thanks lawyers!

Just where did you find this tidbit of fact. Since the Defense Lawyer made the claim "the gun had a hair trigger and he didn't intend to shoot her", but I find no information about a ricochet shot as being the killing wound. Since the weapon was stolen from a police car, the likely owner was a policeman, No LEO's carry weapons with "hair triggers" because if there is a "shots fired" incident, the first claim by opposing lawyer representing the deceased criminal would be the cop used a weapon "reworked" to establish the cop is a "premeditated killer"... so NO police department armorer will set a trigger at less than 3 lb pull.. I do however find first person evidence by the young woman's' family members. who were with her at the murder, who stated the "alleged killer" walked up to her and shot her, point blank.
