The origin of my name has to do with my full time job. I analyze crime stats and help put together evidence from crimes where a firearm has been discharged. In shooting incidents where shell casings and bullet fragments are left behind, they are processed for fingerprints,hammer strikes and other markings to see if the same weapon was used in other cases. If there is a link amoung crimes from the evidence we call it a brasscatcher case. The capital lettering was a force of habit when typing up reports. It is easier to read and it's the way the department wants it done. Its an interesting and rewarding job, especially knowing that a hard
core criminal is arrested because of the work I helped with.
It also beats getting shot at or having a brick (airmail) thrown off a 10 story apartment roof at you!!!
