I was not there, but my guess would be that the expert witness likely did something like assuming the officer would not be able to see and begin to react until the gun was pulled out and pointed at him. So if he assumes .25 seconds to pull the gun and point (which seems very low to me, as general human reaction speed is around 200 ms for visual signals, but I am not an expert on that subject) and another .03 for mechanical parts of the gun you get .28 for the shot. Then for the officer you add another .25 seconds for the officer to see gun, process, and pull the trigger (which is in about the correct range for reacting to an expected visual signal) the math would appear to be correct.

Using the correct assumptions is often key to getting the result you would like to present.

Are any of the commercial BBQ sauces decent in your opinion? I generally prefer a dry rub on most things, but wife prefers wet and I don't always want to make my own.

As a general rule, she's more of a KC style person (definitely not towards the heavy vinegar/mustard styles).

I love the reverse sear for prime rib as well. I think it's a great way to do a roast that's actually medium/medium-rare, and much better than the traditional "sear the outside in a pan and then throw it into the oven until it's leather" method (obviously partially tongue in cheek because traditional can be done well too).
