Lawrence, the police firearms examiner, produced these images as the 'best correspondence' he could find between bullets test-fired from my Glocks and bullets recovered from Tobin's body (the 'Tobin bullets'). There is no match. It is obvious that my Glocks did not fire the Tobin bullets. The murder weapon was clearly a different Glock. Lawrence lied when he claimed he could not exclude my Glocks as having fired the Tobin bullets. He conceded that the barrels of my Glocks had not been tampered with but claimed Glocks have exceptionally 'smooth' barrels and there were therefore 'not enough differences' for him to be able to conclude that my Glocks had not fired the Tobin bullets! Without this false evidence I could not have been arrested and probably would not have been convicted. Even though I offered to pay firearms experts their full fee and expenses up front, no one would take the case. Experts from Melbourne and the U.S. said they only worked for lawyers (I was self-represented). Experts from Perth and New Zealand claimed they were too busy! The circle of firearms experts in Australia and New Zealand is likely to be too small and no firearms expert is willing to contradict Lawrence and greatly weaken the prosecution case.
