If I am reading the articles correctly the prosecution is trying to tie Barajas to the shooting of Banda because Barajas has "an open box of .357 ammunition and a bullet fragment of .357 ammo was found at the murder scene."
I have many open boxes of ammunition in many calibers. Does that mean if someone is shot within 100 yards of my home with a caliber that I own that I am guilty? Pretty flimsy evidence IMO.
There is nothing to tie Barajas to the shooting. No gun was recovered, no eyewitness states that Barajas killed Banda or that Barajas even had a gun. Gunpowder residue tests came up negative. Unless there is a surprise witness or forensics, the prosecution has nothing IMO and Barajas will walk due to no actual evidence that he killed Banda.
