In Missouri, police and prosecutors must prove that a weapon is “readily capable of lethal use” when it is used in the type of crime with which the McCloskey’s have been charged. While the gun was at the crime lab, staff members field stripped the handgun and found that it had originally assembled incorrectly.
This is a clear cut case of "Tampering with Evidence", that prosecutor needs to be indicted and prosecuted.
