Captain John, as I understand it Mr. Bias has already served his time, was released and was recently arrested again for possession of weapons while under disability.

The above mentioned case was appealed after the first conviction and was overturned. The first time it was brought to trial it ended in a hung jury so the first conviction was the second time it went to trial. There was a third trial which ended in another conviction and it held after it was appealed.

From what little actual(?) information I could find on the case it appears that Mr. Bias was intoxicated at the time and had made some incriminating statements during the initial investigation. The doubt that caused the hung jury and the first conviction to be overturned wasn't a question of 'did he kill his wife' it was 'why did he kill his wife'.

Also, if the prosecution did make a big deal of the reloads in court, that would have contradicted the courts assertion that he had used the factory ammunition they claimed he used and the lab had tested. In other words; they would have shot down their own evidence. And if it was the "only" evidence, as has been stated in the past, any conviction based on that would have been overturned.
