He didn't have any prior (criminal) record, and he was not person you would think would commit murder, but the evidence was so overwhelming,” said White, pointing specifically to ballistic evidence, which, in his opinion was so strong the only real decision before the jury was whether the murder was planned or the result of a confrontation. After five hours of deliberating, the jurors found Friedrich guilty of murder, but not guilty of aggravated murder, which required a finding of premeditation and carried a more serious penalty.

The physical evidence also shows both of the horse pistols that were used. The pistols were on the sides of his body, but that was not where the bullet wounds were in his body. The bullets were found in his skull and his upper stomach. If he was to shoot himself the gun would land on his stomach and behind his head.

Also, the police officers were not positive about if the threat was just limited to Mr. Covington because he did not make any comments about that during the interrogation. Justice Sotomayor also mentions that this is the first case Confrontation Clause case that involves a gun. Then, she refers to Hammon’s again to make the point of how the idea of having the victim in a separate room away from the perpetrator but in the same house cannot be applied to Bryant because of the firearm. She then gives this extreme example to reflect on the ongoing emergency.

In a murder case where an 18-year-old, Sarah Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for committing a first degree murder for both her and dad. The case reopened when a retired crime lab technician Michael Howard “testified that whoever shot Diane and Alan Johnson at close range on September 2, 2003, would have been hit by a "rain" of blood spatter” (http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/03/johnson/index.html?eref=sitesearch). Howard came up with his theories proving that, Sarah was not even close in committing those murders and it is a wrongful conviction. Based on blood spatter, Howard disclosed that the shooting which took place was at a very close range and blood would have been all over the assailant, where as there was no blood pattern found on Sarah’s clothes. In fact, the pajama pant, Sarah was wearing on the day of shooting had no trace of her parent’s DNA or blood.
