New York State Police Frame Jason Johnson. They Fabricate an Outright Lie. Jason Was Carrying a 270 Bolt Action Hunting Rifle When NYS Trooper Seager Was Accidentally Shot, Her Injury Was Caused by a Completely Different Type of Weapon, a .223 Law Enforcement Weapon Used by the Police…
Ballistics Expert Chris Robinson Testifies to the following findings:
Trooper Seager’s wound is consistent with 223 LAW ENFORCEMENT WEAPON, not a 270 Rifle carried by Jason Johnson.
- 5mm wound size, fragmentation, the shape of the exit hole, and tumbling in the wound are consistent with a LAW ENFORCEMENT 223 WEAPON, rather than a 270-rifle carried by Jason Johnson. The wound in Trooper Seager’s leg was inconsistent with a 270-rifle, Ballistics Expert Chris Robinson would expect “more extensive damage and a larger hole if it were from a 270.”
The size of Seager’s wound and patrol car 2C21’s bumper hole are consistent with each other, and a .223 LAW ENFOREMENT BULLET.
- The size of Trooper Seager’s wound (lead II case notes) show 3mm in her pocket, Ballistics Expert Chris Robinson testified at trial; her pants entry hole was 4mm. The entry hole was the same size as a LAW ENFORCEMENT 223 weapon, 0.4cm (4mm) rather than the larger caliber, 270 hunting rifle, with a 7mm diameter bullet.
- The size of the wound in Trooper Seager (4mm) and the size of the hole in patrol car 2C21’s bumper; 4mm, are consistent with each other and consistent with a 223-caliber, carried by law enforcement. However, the sizes of both 4mm holes were not consistent with a 7-8 mm 270 bullet, carried by Jason Johnson.
- (Audio) 9:24 Gunshot noises Ballistics Expert Chris Robinson said different types of guns were fired at 9:24 pm, and at different locations, based on gunshot noises. He clearly indicates that at 9:24 pm, he hears one loud shot, followed by 3 – 5 other shots.
Tumbling in Seager’s wound.
- A 223 bullet “tumbles” through human flesh, to create a larger wound track. Regardless of the type of 223 bullets, it is designed to tumble. 223 ammo tumbles whether it is bonded or not.
- Tumbling action can create a star-shaped tearing out the exit hole.
- Trooper Seager’s wound shows evidence of tumbling which is characteristic of a light bullet, consistent with 223 Weapons NYS Police were carrying that night and are NOT CONSISTANT WITH THE 270-RIFLE CARRIED BY JASON JOHNSON.
Tumbling Action Not Consistent With a 270-Rifle.
- A 270 bullet is designed to penetrate. A 270 bullet is not designed to tumble. Ballistics Expert, Chris Robinson, “would not expect a 270 to tumble, especially in the soft tissue where Trooper Seager was injured.”
Expert Ballistics Examiner Chris Robinson:
- If Seager’s wound was from a 270 bullet, you’d expect more extensive damage because a 270 bullet has double the energy. Ballistics Expert Chris Robinson would not expect a 270 bullet to fragment in her leg.
- The exit wound is abraded and shows bruising along the track, as well as tumbling at the edge of the exit wound. The shape of the exit wound shows tumbling, spread out, like the bullet going end-over-end.
Angle of Shots at 9:24.
- The angle of Seager’s wound, 4 degrees upwards and that of patrol car 2C21 were consistent with each other because both were pierced with a 223 LAW ENFORCEMENT BULLET.
- Witnesses heard three gunshots. One was a loud “crack” sound that was created when Jason discharged his 270 Rifle and struck a private vehicle. This loud “cracking” sound was immediately followed by 3 small “pops”, these “pops” came from a LAW ENFORCEMENT WEAPON. On the second “pop” Trooper Seager was shot in the hip by a member of LAW ENFORCEMENT NOT JASON JOHNSON. All three of these shots (Seager’s leg, patrol car 2C21 and a private vehicle) could not have come from the same location, they had to be different locations. It is IMPOSSIBLE FOR JASON TO HAVE FIRED THE SHOT THAT HIT THE PATROL CAR AND TROOPER SEAGER.
- Expert Robinson notes that changing muzzle position could result in different trajectories, calculated at an angle of 15 degrees, at a distance of 100 yards (~300 ft), the necessary change in height (elevation distance of the two shots) would be 80 ft, making it physically impossible for Jason to have been the shooter who injured Trooper Seager.
- The angle of the bullet in the 2C21 bumper is flat/slightly upward and is consistent with the angle in Seager’s leg (4° upward), but both angles are not similar in trajectory to the angle in Butler’s truck (11° downward). All three of these holes occurred at 9:24 pm. For a significant distance away (and in line with case-reported distances-300 to 500 feet away), the muzzle height for those shots would need to have been substantially different (like 50-80 feet). This kind of elevation difference, within seconds, is impossible. The DA argued that the change in angle would be different for a person standing up Vs. laying down. For the Defendant, who is 5.5ft tall and assuming a distance of 350ft away (Seager testified she was 200ft in front of Butler’s truck, the Defendant (Jason) testified he was 150-300ft behind Butler’s truck), the maximum angle difference for standing up Vs. laying down is 0.90°, less than 1° of difference, and much, less than the 15° difference measured in Seager’s leg Vs. Butler’s truck. So, these two shots clearly could not have come from the same location.
