You are a criminal defense attorney. You are representing your client in a murder case. Your client allegedly killed his ex-girlfriend by shooting her repeatedly with a semi-automatic firearm at close range. Your client was arrested and is being prosecuted based upon various items of circumstantial evidence that was found at the scene of the crime. However, the murder weapon was never found. During the course of the case, you meet with your client at jail. He confides in you that he did indeed execute his ex-girlfriend and he tells you that he hid the gun in a nearby forrest and gives you detailed instructions on where to find it. You and your investigator go to the location he described and after about 45 minutes of searching you find the firearm. Now that you have the gun in your possession and you are the defense attorney in the case, what do you do with it and why?
