The rounds were identical and fired from the same handgun, 181 00:11:40,531 --> 00:11:43,409 a Mossberg MC2sc. 182 00:11:43,492 --> 00:11:45,077 And is that a common handgun? 183 00:11:45,661 --> 00:11:47,163 Very common. Yes. 184 00:11:47,246 --> 00:11:48,205 Now, Mr. Russo, 185 00:11:48,289 --> 00:11:51,333 one issue that's been raised is the noise that a handgun makes. 186 00:11:51,417 --> 00:11:56,464 None of the defendant's neighbors reported hearing any gunshots that night. 187 00:11:56,547 --> 00:11:58,799 Can you explain how that might be? 188 00:11:58,883 --> 00:12:01,343 Well, in my opinion, the most likely explanation 189 00:12:01,427 --> 00:12:04,597 would be that the gun had a suppressor attached. 190 00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,098 - A silencer? - Yes. 191 00:12:06,182 --> 00:12:10,686 But contrary to popular belief, it doesn't completely silence the shot. 192 00:12:10,770 --> 00:12:14,774 It reduces the noise level to 100, 110 decibels. 193 00:12:14,857 --> 00:12:19,028 For the jury's sake, can you give a comparison in terms of noise level? 194 00:12:19,111 --> 00:12:22,239 Roughly the same as the sound of a kitchen blender on high 195 00:12:22,323 --> 00:12:27,244 or the sound of a car motor starting, but only for a fraction of a second. 196 00:12:27,328 --> 00:12:30,748 So, in your opinion, would it be possible that the defendant's neighbors 197 00:12:30,831 --> 00:12:32,500 might not have noticed such a noise? 198 00:12:32,583 --> 00:12:36,337 I'd say likely, especially if they were asleep or watching TV. 199 00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:39,882 I mean, that is the purpose of a suppressor, after all. 200 00:12:39,965 --> 00:12:42,134 Of course.
