Oregon appeals court finds gun forensics method is not ‘scientifically valid'
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Major changes could be coming to the way shootings are prosecuted in Oregon after a recent state appeals court ruling. The case centers around the forensic practice of matching markings on bullets to specific guns under the Association of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners (AFTE) method. While the method has been used for decades, some critics argue that it is not based on measurable science. 'Just wrong': Oregon advocates say SCOTUS decision targets transgender youth Now, the Oregon Court of Appeals agrees – overturning a case that relied on the method. In a May 29 decision, the appeals court found that the state did not prove the method is 'scientifically valid.' Plaintiff Odell Tony Adams was appealing convictions for unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm and second-degree criminal mischief. BLM warns of 'aggressive' mountain goats along Oregon river As part of his appeal, Adams argued that the court erred by admitting testimony and a report of an expert as scientific evidence. According to court documents, the expert used the AFTE method and 'identified' cartridge cases that were found at the scene of a shooting as having been fired from a gun that was found in Adams' home. Adams argued that the state 'failed to establish that the AFTE method is scientifically valid and thus that evidence based on it is admissible.' The appeals court agreed with Adams. The case stems from a 2018 shooting at the Speakeasy Lounge. At the scene, police found several .40 caliber shell cases on the ground along with bullet holes in two cars parked in the nightclub's parking lot, according to court documents.

While prepping the state's case against Adams, a forensic examiner used the AFTE method to analyze the gun and the cartridge cases found at the scene, court records say. The examiner determined that the gun seized from Adams' home fired 10 cases found at the scene of the crime. Another AFTE examiner analyzed the gun and agreed with the original findings, court documents state. Feds demand Oregon Health Plan data in crackdown against immigrant coverage Court documents from the appeals court describe scientific evidence, in part, as evidence that 'draws its convincing force from some principle of science, mathematics and the like.' The court explained, 'the state did not meet its burden to show that the AFTE method is scientifically valid, that is, that it is capable of measuring what it purports to measure and is able to produce consistent results when replicated.' The court continued, 'That is so because the method does not actually measure the degree of correspondence between shell cases or bullets; rather, the practitioner's decision on whether the degree of correspondence indicates a match ultimately depends entirely on subjective, unarticulated standards and criteria arrived at through the training and individualized experience of the practitioner.' 'It was scary': Residents near Portland ICE building frustrated with recent protests 'The state did not show that the method is replicable and therefore reliable: The method does not produce consistent results when replicated because it cannot be replicated. Multiple practitioners may analyze the same items and reach the same result, but each practitioner reaches that result based on application of their own subjective and unarticulated standards, not application of the same standards,' the appeals court added. The appeals court noted that Adams was tried on a federal charge from the same incident. In that case, Adams was granted a motion to exclude scientific testimony of an AFTE examiner who analyzed the same gun and cartridge. In response to the appeals court finding, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield's office told KOIN 6 News the office is planning to seek review by the Oregon Supreme Court and is working with law enforcement and prosecutors to determine next steps.

Weekly Chinese Horoscope, June 22 to June 28, 2025: Five zodiacs that need to be cautious
Snake Snakes' internal reorganization is the topic of discussion this week. Your inner voice is your compass, even if the first week may feel hectic. The "Remove Day" on Thursday encourages you to get rid of both mental and physical clutter. Steer clear of excessive chatter, digital overload, and diversions. Instead, make room for reflection. Goat This week, goats go through a healing procedure. In the beginning, you could notice an increase in tension, particularly in stressful situations. Thursday is the day to take a step back and reevaluate commitments or relationships. The weekend is a time for regrouping and catching up. Before continuing, give yourself time to regroup and take a deep breath. Horse The focus this week is on upholding your autonomy and limits. You feel the need to establish boundaries early in the week, particularly on Wednesday. Another "Remove Day," Thursday, requires that you express your wants clearly. A polite reminder or email could be required. Unplug on Sunday and make plans for July. Rooster By the middle of the week, roosters begin to notice trends and pain. You can feel skeptical of habits or relationships around Tuesday and beyond. It's simple to start nitpicking, so be mindful of that. Take a moment on Thursday to relax and let go of small issues. Being honest is great, but avoid causing friction with much analysis. Ox Although Ox is on both lists, this week's topics are boundary-setting and structure. Midway through the week, particularly around Thursday's Remove Day, early strength meets possible strain. Saying no is acceptable if others have unreasonable expectations of you. This week, self-care is still a subtle but crucial way to make progress.

Which Zodiac Signs Will Make Bold Moves in July (And Who Should Wait)?
As we flip our calendars to July, a sudden realization hits - we've already reached the halfway mark of the year. That means we've spent 182 days and have only the next 184 days left to achieve the goals we set at the start of 2025. While some zodiac signs are ready to roar into action mode, others may need to pause and reassess before taking the big leap. Keep reading to find out. Zodiac signs set to make bold career moves in July - Aries Aries, your ruling planet, Mars, fires up your tenth house of career in early July. It's your time to claim leadership and pitch that bold project. Your startup ideas will also come to fruition. Just remember to balance your impulsive drive with strategic planning. Gemini Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs, enters your sign on July 7, resulting in a transit that hasn't happened since 1941. This electrifies your communication, learning, and career sectors, making it the perfect time to propose fresh ideas, switch industries, or take on a leadership role. Leo As the sun enters your sign towards the end of the month, you will feel a strong drive to claim your title and prize. This is the perfect time to pitch that idea, showcase your talent, or negotiate better opportunities. Shine brightly. Zodiac signs that should wait: Virgo The lunar eclipse in March rattled your confidence, and July's not the time to force big moves. Self-doubt might still linger, so hit pause. Reflect, strategize, and prep. Your clarity is coming by September. Cancer The Jupiter in your sign since June is building a foundation for growth. However, July's more about soul-searching than career leaps. Focus on your inner game. Nurture your dreams and not your resume. Your big win is close, just not yet. Not on the bold list? Don't worry! Plan now, strike later. July is just a chapter, not the whole story.
