This was pretty disturbing as well:The DA appointed special prosecutor Andrea Reeb to oversee the case. “If any one of these three people—Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez Reed or David Halls—had done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today. It’s that simple,” Reeb said in a statement. “The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the ‘Rust’ film set…”
In addition to the bullet that killed Hutchins, investigators found five additional live rounds of ammunition mingled among the movie’s props and costumes. Two loose .45 bullets were discovered on top of a prop cart, a third was in a bandolier worn by actor Jensen Ackles, a fourth was in a gun belt worn by Baldwin, and a fifth was found in a box of dummy ammunition with Gutierrez Reed’s fingerprints on it.
The other disturbing thing that I've read in a couple of news stories is that, contrary to reporting in the aftermath of the shooting, there was no evidence that employees had been using the guns for target practice shooting. So, how did live ammo get on the set in the first place?Marcus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:31 pmI don’t think so, at all.Moksha wrote: This all sounds like a remarkedly empty-headed gesture….

Thanks!
First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies requested $635,000 in “emergency” money “to prosecute such a high-profile case,” she wrote to state officials last August.
“I need funding for an attorney, investigator, media contact person, paralegal, expert witnesses, and general trial expenses.”
Carmack-Altwies requested the extra money in a letter dated August 30, 2022. She was granted about half of the amount requested, and is expected to ask the legislature for the remainder.
So, the DA only has half the money she needs to prosecute the case. Perhaps the announcement is intended to help her get the other half from the legislature or to pressure Baldwin and the armorer to enter into a guilty plea, as did the Assistant Director. Whatever it means, I'm not going to keep trying to locate the Criminal Complaint or the supporting Probable Cause affidavit. I expect there will be a another round of stories when they're filed.The charges will be formally filed by the end of the month, Carmack-Altwies told CNN.
