Thanks for those details.I watched it, so I can explain this a bit.
This guy worked with Hannah's dad and Seth Kinney. They all did a Cowboy training camp involving live rounds to train the actors for 1883, from there Hannah and her dad went to Rust.
Teske had live rounds used in that training camp that looked similar to the ones that ended up in the Rust set. So it appears Hannah or her father may have taken the rounds from this batch to Rust.
The case got dismissed over disclosure issues. This guy took these rounds as evidence of where they may have come from and he spoke to the Crime Tech that was on the stand in this case. Instead of putting these rounds with the Rust case, they opened a new case file specifically for these until they determined what to do with them.
The issue is, they never did anything with them. They stayed on this separate file and never informed the defense of this incident or that these existed. That violates disclosure and discovery laws. Regardless if this was intentional or not.
Does this change the fact that Baldwin pulled the trigger in this case or answer if he was culpable? Probably not, but not having this evidence does violate disclosure laws cause the defense may have done their case entirely differently if they had this information. It also may have altered the investigation and helped them find the source of the rounds. So this created an unfair trial.
What happened here is all on the police and prosecution. They botched this. Badly.
In addition, even given what was going on with the trial sans disclosure issues, every person I heard speak about it said this trial wasn't going well for the prosecution and that their own case seemed to point to exoneration before the defense even put their case forward.I watched it, so I can explain this a bit.

That is accurate. Baldwin's lawyer during cross examination of the prosecution's witnesses all resulted in them having "HELP ME" painted on their foreheadsIn addition, even given what was going on with the trial sans disclosure issues, every person I heard speak about it said this trial wasn't going well for the prosecution and that their own case seemed to point to exoneration before the defense even put their case forward.
I guess those scales of justice work better for people who can afford kick ass attorneys and teams.That is accurate. Baldwin's lawyer during cross examination of the prosecution's witnesses all resulted in them having "HELP ME" painted on their foreheads
“Apparently, her family wants this screening to happen. They say it was her dream to have a film screen at Camerimage,” one member posted. “Her mentor, a former ASC president, is part of the panel. It seems to me that the important people are OK with this.”
