Mr. Eisenberg. Can you describe the fragment?
Mr. Frazier. Yes. It consists of the base or most rearward portion of the jacket of a metal-jacketed bullet, from which the lead core is missing.
Mr. Eisenberg. How can you tell that it is the most rearward portion?
Mr. Frazier. It has the shape which bases of bullets have. It has the cannelure which is located at the rear, on the portion of bullets of this type.
Mr. Eisenberg. Can you determine whether this bullet fragment, 567, and 569 are portions of the originally same bullet?
Mr. Frazier. No, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg. You cannot?
Mr. Frazier. There is not enough of the two fragments in unmutilated condition to determine whether or not the fragments actually fit together.
However, it was determined that there is no area on one fragment, such as 567, which would overlap a corresponding area on the base section of 569, so that they could be parts of one bullet, and then, of course, they could be parts of separate bullets.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now 569 is without the core; is that correct?
