You could manually wedge a shield in there I'm sure. Still too big to just fall between the seats. I'm guessing, of course


We're all guessing about some pretty important details at this point.

he prob rides with his seat all the way back. It could slip through that crease to the back seat. At that point maybe one of the passengers kicked it under the seat accidentally or purposely, or picked it up in case they needed to use it for protection



Dude...

I think 3 things matter at this point.

Did hayes purposely hit smith or did smith cause the accident somehow.

Who initially started the verbal altercation.

Who first brought up the gun.

Gun could have fallen between the console and the seat... There are lots of possibilities


No it couldn't. I posted a picture of the interior of a G wagon in the other thread. A gun isn't falling in between the seats. Not enough above.

They said no visible gun is found. Then, after a warrant was obtained, they found a weapon. If you can't use those two pieces of information to figure out the gun wasn't in plain sight, there's no helping you.

That part of it is. There was no visible gun in Smith's vehicle. End of discussion on that point. Thanks for finally seeing the light.

Right

So they could've confiscated a weapon from Smith's car night of and not say anything about until the warrant was processed


They don't have to say anything to the media, so I guess anything is possible. Do you believe this? Its pretty contradictory to everything reported. They are reporting pretty plainly that the gun was recovered during the warranted search, and again, there is no way they don't bag a gun they find at the scene of a murder and allow it to drive off behind a tow truck rattling around on the floor boards.

Yes, guns are wider than a piece of paper.

Im guessing Hayes still had the .45 on his person

This suggests the whole car needed a warrant to be searched, though.


Then why wasn't the revolver, also found in Hayes'Hummer not confiscated at the scene? From the same article you are quoting.

quote:

Police executed the search warrant on Smith's Mercedes G64 and Hayes' Hummer H2 on Tuesday morning. They found a fully-loaded, 9-millimeter handgun in Smith's vehicle, and a fully-loaded revolver in Hayes' vehicle. Police say neither of those weapons were fired the night of the shooting – a third weapon, a .45-caliber handgun collected immediately by police, is the one authorities say was used to shoot Smith.


Is it that simple that Hayes still had the .45 on him or did he simply throw it back onto his seat after shooting Smith, leaving it in plain sight for police?

quote:

Having the warrant is key to ensuring the evidence can be used if the case goes to trial, and will help alleviate any potential questions about whether it was collected correctly, the lawyers agreed.

"It's unusual to see the police seek a warrant for the search of an automobile," Loyola law professor Dane Ciolino said. "But in a case with so many eyes watching, it's always the safest thing."


The quotes above are what I explained earlier in this thread. Neither weapon found today was in plain sight. They were in a compartment which is why NOPD went through so much to make sure they were collected with a warrant. Had these weapons not been collected with a warrant, they could have been thrown out as evidence in court.

There are pictures from the scene on Nola.com of officers looking in Smith's SUV. If his weapon was in plain sight why wasn't it confiscated like Hayes'.45?

Dude, you are all over the place. Seems you are more interested in winning a fricking internet argument

Or

quote:

NOPD said no visible gun found in Smith's vehicle. LE was adamant that news reporting something is all you need to believe it and call it a fact, but he seems to have backtracked from that when the news reported something that hurts his argument.


quote:

False. There was no gun found visible in Smith's car.


quote:

Somewhere where it wasn't visible and required a warrant to get


quote:

They have said soecifically. However, the NOPD has said it wasn't visible.


Where do they say the gun isn't visible? Link it up

So they don't magically fall in between a seat and console of a G wagon. There isn't enough space.
