An update on reality, if law enforcement could have nailed the father in his sons death, they would have! Law enforcement officers study and do their best to collect all the evidence and make a KNOWLEGDEABLE determination of fact. They use all the tools at their disposial. If the Father would have been guilty, he would be in Jail NOW! Try to have SOME intelligence when speaking of ballistics! The wasatch front is PODUNK, not Manilla.
If you want something REALLY DANGEROUS, try going to a hospital, having an operation, driving a car or doing sports. Hunting is the least of them all.
Ballistics can only match the bullet with the gun. If they don't *have* the gun available to test and make the match, then it can be hard for the police to determine who shot him--especially if this might be an accidental ricochet.
"Investigators were never able to have a ballistics test performed because the slug was not recovered, despite an extensive search of the area."
