An expert report does not constitute proof attributing the charge to the accused, but may serve as evidence supported by other evidence. - The appellant's challenge to the forensic evidence report for containing nothing indicating use of the seized weapon. A dispute over the probative force of that report, in which the court placed its trust. The judgment's disregarding this. No defect.
