A: Your husband needs a lawyer. Not enough information in your post to evaluate the evidence against him, and posting those details on a public forum accessible by law enforcement is not advisable. I don’t know what evidence could have been lost or destroyed in a crime lab related to a gun charge, or how you know that, but his lawyer can determine his best defense and how to use the absence of evidence to secure an acquittal.
