For me, this is filed in bad faith. It's one big temper tantrum full of mischaracterizations. It does not have any legal significance because an order telling the mean mean prosecutor to simply follow the existing lawyering rules before the trial has even started is not a thing. The only purpose is to offend the prosecutor and even the judge.

This motion is just to aggravate Morrisey. An attack on someone who is undoubtedly stressed due to lack of resources.

Absolutely. It's one of Baldwin's 12 lawyers trying to earn his keep, by telling the world to ignore the fact that Baldwin's 13 lawyers are actually now 14 lawyers. And I'm sure it was signed by at least 15 of his 16 lawyers

@@ConsciousExpression if those were the “most important” rules, they’d actually be documented…..but they are not. Below are the three most important rules that apply to EVERYONE who touches a firearm and are the first thing EVERYONE learns in EVERY firearm safety course. These rules are very well documented, it took me seconds to find them and cut and paste them here. Even if all of your “rules” were broken, following these rules would have prevented a death. - Always Keep Firearm Pointed in a Safe direction (Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot) - Treat All Guns as Though They are Loaded (Never assume a gun is unloaded (check for yourself) - Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger until You are Ready to Shoot (Never touch the trigger on a firearm until you actually intend to shoot) Here are three very important rules straight out of the Screen Actors Guild Firearm Safety Guidelines: - Treat all weapons as though they are loaded and never point one at anyone, including yourself. - Anyone that will be using a weapon shall know all of the operating features and safety devices. - All local, state, and federal laws and regulations are applicable and can override these guidelines if they are more stringent. Making up “rules” that help your case is fine in the comments section, but in court they’re going to require some evidence to call something a “most important rule”.
