( (4) AL ed Wolfer also stated that he could-not recall whether he made any other tests on the Sirhan gun cther than test firing it. Wolfer could not remember examining the gun's cylinder. Wolfer did state that he used one of the seven test fired bullets from the .22 caliber revolver to compare with an evidence bullet but he did not know if he had marked the one used for comparison, and could not remember in 1975 which test fired bullet had been compared to an evidence bullet. The apparent lack of reports, both written and photographic, either made by Wolfer and destroyed, or never in existence, raised serious doubts as to the substance and credibility of the ballistics evidence presented in the original Sirhan trial. Special Counsel Kranz commented during the Wolfer examination that the forthcoming ballistics examination by the experts would be crucial because it might be the first -thorough examination of bullet evidence in the case. Kranz emphasized that the only area in the entire Kennedy assassination where the reports were not complete was in the ballisties area. Severai of the attorneys involved were critical of the lack of documents and working papers to supplement Wolfer's testimony.
