Ballistic tests proved that the bullet which killed Faulkner was fired by a .38 caliber revolver, a match with Jamal's gun. Finally, three people at the hospital where Jamal was taken that night, two security guards and a police officer, testified that Jamal had confessed to the shooting, stating "I shot the motherfucker and I hope...
