Nice to see you haven't forgotten us Scipio 

What determines whose initials go on the exhibit labels?  The finder of the exhibit ; the person handing the exhibit to the police; the police officer handing the exhibit to the SoC officer or something else?

We know JB provided authorisation for EP to access his bank statements.  I understand the main reason for this was to check out JM's testimony re the 2k payment for a hitman/MM.

We know registered gun dealer PE handed the silencer over to DS Jones at Oak Farm complete with blood, paint and a strand of hair.  The pair then sat drinking whisky together late into the night.  DS Jones submitted the silencer to EP the following day.

Question is... why was the silencer sticky?

Why indeed  &%+((£. I think this is the first time I've heard about "sticky".  FSS didn't identify any "sticky" substance.  Perhaps the "sticky" substance retained the hair and they were both lost together.  All the various accounts of those who claim to have found the silencer, who was present upon the find, what happened next, etc, etc vary  &%+((£. And yet if JB varies in his version of events it is somehow seen as indicative of guilt.

I was under the impression (not sure where from) the silencer was found in its original box inside a plastic carrier bag.  If this was the case I am surprised the box and bag were not handed to EP with the silencer for forensic analysis.  I did check back on WS's and the only ref I could see was from AE who made ref to the fact she thought the silencer might have been found in a cloth bag.

The person who found the exhibit.  Normally that means the officer who submits the exhibit but in cases where an officer is receiving evidence that was found by someone else the finder is supposed to get credit.  The edits that were done were done for such reason, they were edited to reflect that David Boutflour found them.

It was in a box not it's original box. The original box was thrown out.  Police only wanted the moderator.  Only in September were they willing to accept all the items collected by Boutflour and they even went to the closet to collect nearly everything else that Boutflour had not taken including a dartboard and sprayer.
