What is the evidence against John Allen Muhammad?
I haven't followed this since the violence stopped.

Can anybody enlighten me or provide some links?

I don't want to read a speculative crime narrative. I'm just curious about the actual evidence.

2. Upon arrest in the vehicle investigators believe was used
in the sniping incidents, the murder weapon was found.
Ballistics later allegedly confirmed.

(I must say allegedly because I don't have access to tests and the results)

I believe the alleged murder weapon was bought my Muhammad at a Tacoma WA gun shop ( alleged receipt of sale as evidence).

3. Did his hands have residue from the gun?

Was his DNA on the gun?

Fingerprints?

5. Here is some info:
"That evidence included a rifle, found in Mr. Muhammad's car, that has been linked by ballistics tests not only to 8 of the 10 killings in the Washington area but also to 2 others, in Louisiana and Alabama; the car itself, which was modified, prosecutors say, so that a sniper could shoot from inside the trunk; and a laptop computer, also found in the car, that contained maps with icons pinpointing shooting scenes.

There were also witness accounts that put Mr. Muhammad across the street from one shooting and his car near the scene of several others."

He not only confessed, he bragged about it.

6. Thanks. That's basically what I was looking for.
But there was no mention of a confession in that article.

When & to whom did he confess?
