CENTENNIAL — The judge in the Colorado theater shooting case says a firearms expert can testify at the trial of James Holmes.
The judge rejected a defense motion to prevent the testimony. He said that forensic scientist Dale Higashi is credible and his testimony would be reliable. Higashi works for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. At a hearing in July, defense attorneys argued that firearms analysis is subjective and lacks statistics to measure its accuracy. Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
