He testified at Amir's trial that one of the shots which killed Rabin was fired from point-blank range and was "characterized by a massed abundance of gunpowder, a large quantity of lead and a 6-centimeter tear [in Rabin's jacket]", Gladstein said, "...all the characteristics of a point blank shot".
