Question 6: Evidence from an armed robbery of a hardware store with a red door: (1) .38 revolver, (2) .38 ammo box, (3) Ski mask, (4) Latex gloves, (5) Crowbar with red paint. Which item is LEAST directly connected?
- Box of .38 caliber ammunition (Correct answer)
- Black ski mask
- Crowbar with red paint residue
- Smith & Wesson .38 revolver
Correct answer: Box of .38 caliber ammunition
The ammo supports the weapon charge but doesn't directly connect to the robbery act itself.
The gun is direct evidence of 'armed.' The mask explains disguise. Gloves explain no fingerprints. Crowbar with red paint links to the red door. Ammo is supporting but least specific.
