Christopher Vaughn Trial 2012: Prosecutors zero in on Vaughn's jacket

August 30, 2012 (JOLIET, Ill.) (WLS) -- Prosecutors in the Christopher Vaughn murder trial zeroed in on a key piece of evidence Thursday.

Prosecutors questioned a forensic scientist with the Illinois State Police Department about the jacket Vaughn was wearing the day his wife and three children were shot.

Nicole Fundell testified the garment had bullet holes consistent with someone wrapping it around a gun and firing.

Vaughn claims his wife shot the kids, him and then killed herself.

Prosecutors argue Vaughn used the jacket to cushion the blow when he shot himself after murdering his family.
