Before I listen to your view, I'm gonna go ahead and put mine out their. The Prosecutors not turning over all the evidence was the excuse,not the reason. The real reason is because it was Alex Baldwin. A bigshot hollywood type with big money and hollywood on his side.

If the prosecutor needs to hide evidence for a conviction then the accused is innocent.

[@ChillyJack]

It's gross seeing people actually defend the prosecution knowingly hiding evidence from the defense, claiming "it wasn't relevant". That's not for the prosecution to decide, period. There's no legitimate reason to file evidence under a different case number and not tell the defense about it.

[@joeclaridy]

What's gross is what Baldwin did on the set will never receive the justice it deserves. If they wanted to move for a mistrial then good. But with predjudice is too far especially giving that a woman was unalived. That is what's gross.

[@ChillyJack]

@@joeclaridy I agree that Baldwin was negligent and probably should have been found guilty. But the state willfully violating citizens' rights is a much higher priority for me. People who are ok with the state breaking the law to convict people disgust me.

[@joeclaridy]

@@ChillyJack but that's the thing no one is ok with the state breaking the rules. What I'm pissed off is that they dissmissed this with prejudice not allowing for the case to be reheard. If they had simply granted a mistrial and assigned it to another judge were all the evidence is made open to all parties I would've been satisfied. But to give him a literal get out of jail free card while still prosecuting others who were involved is down right disgusting.

[@ChillyJack]

@@joeclaridy Mistrial with prejudice is the _correct_ course of action when a mistrial is caused by the state's misconduct. Why should any defendant, Baldwin or otherwise, be forced to pay the enormous legal fees for another whole trial because the prosecutor broke the law? Dismissal with prejudice is the only valid ruling until we get laws on the books that force the state or prosecutor to pay the defense's legal fees in cases of gross misconduct.

[@joeclaridy]

@@ChillyJack if legal fees are your basis then no. Misconduct can be addressed by disbarrment, fines, and possibility or being jailed by the offending party; which those statutes already exists. Allowing for dissmisal with prejudice, especially on procedural grounds, at best is an overreach but can also be seen in itself an abuse of power. The courts had the power to make this a mistrial, make the evidence known and give it to a new judge and jury who are presumed to be unbiased and therefore allowing ALL the evidence to be known. It would be the equalivent to taking your liscense for going 19 miles over the speed limit. Can they technically do this, yes but it is not done as a standard practice.

@@Tom-bi7ir The judge covers it pretty well from 18:34 especially at 19:55 . Its about guaranteeing the right to a fair trial and upholding the integrity of the court.

In this case they willingly withold information that was obviously related to the trial.

[@merchantmaker1771]

​@@Tom-bi7ir While it would seem to be more relevant to the armorer's guilt than Baldwin's, the defense should have been informed of it so they could make their own determination. It was primarily the lack of disclosure that was a problem, the judge explained at the end that dismissal was an appropriate sanction because she found the lack of disclosure was willful

[@al-rediph]

@@Tom-bi7ir Because it could show that the live round that killed Hutchins also came from THAT other set (1883) and the way those live rounds have landed on the Rust set will have to go through Seth Kenney, because he left the set of 1883 with some of those live rounds. Those live rounds (including the Rust one) seem to be reloaded dummies, with a Starline Brass case. Starline Brass doesn't make live rounds, only dummies! So this evidence could indicate, that Seth Kenney delivered live rounds, which look like dummies (but don't rattle), to the Rust set. But the mistrial was order because the prosecution did not disclosed this, broking discovery rules, and the sheriff office even filed the evidence under a different case number, which basically makes it look like they were hiding it. In a trial, both prosecution and defence are supposed to disclose any evidence they know of, in order to ensure the trial is fair.

Can anyone explain how this evidence would have been exculpatory for Baldwin? I understand the defense's theory of the case is that the presence of live ammo on the set was unforseeable, therefore Baldwin wasn't being reckless.....so, where do the bullets come in? He wasnt accused of sourcing the ammo, he wasnt accused of loading the gun. The source of the ammo is certainly irrelevant to the prosecution's case, but I also don't see how the defense would've used it.

[@razorbeard6970]

Baldwin was producer on the film and he knows they didn't have a use for live rounds on the set so there should have been none on the set. The fact they have a batch of ammo that likely was part of what was on set is something that can be traced. It was as easy to find as the supplier reaching out to the distributer. They had him in for a sit down, confiscated the ammo and it immediately hits a dead end. What that tells me is that PD and the justice system doesn't want that traced for whatever reason.

Certainly, the police ought to have pursued looking into the source of the ammunition, as this could potentially identify other responsible parties. However, It's not a zero-sum game. Just because Baldwin's team could theoretically identify another person with culpability doesn't mean his culpability for the crime he's charged with has decreased.

Hi, Nate. Some interesting differences I noted between your video and what I learned from watching the trial of HG and AB: Seth only provided firearm-related props and didn’t provide all 45 colt rounds (the run on ammo during the pandemic led to multiple suppliers, which is why the “1883” stuff got mixed in). He also wasn’t prop master (which you state about halfway through the video). Again, this doesn’t significantly impact the video, but I wanted to point it out for potential future content. Thanks!

The ammo was owned by a friend of the armorer's dad. There was a big issue that Alec has a producer has to be extra aware there could be live ammo on set. The prosecutor knew that if the defense could show the ammo obviously came from the armorer her case was sunk. Dismissing over a Brady violations means this was likely exculpatory evidence, which was a big reason the prosecutor hid it. Prosecutors are used to going up against PDs who don't have the time to search a case as thoroughly as a private attorney does. Against a PD this evidence likely never gets found out.

[@pureabsolute4618]

Nate, thanks for the explanation of what happened, however the issue is still confusing. The judge declared that the bullets were exculpatory, but they weren't. And she not only dismissed the case, she did so with prejudice. The defense has to, IMHO, make the case that they would have used the bullets in their defense, and they also have to explain why they couldn't have asked for those bullets to be used as evidence when they found out about it. Prosecutors can be reprimanded if the defense can continue the case. The judge just declared it a situation that cannot be recovered from without an explanation . The judge also didn't care that the defense didn't ask for the bullets immediately. If someone handed the prosecution a puppy, and declared that puppy as evidence, is the prosecution then forced to bring the puppy to court as part of the complete set of evidence?

[@pureabsolute4618]

On an unrelated note, Alec Baldwin killed a woman, violating rules that he knew about (there was a different scene where he tells everyone to get away from the line of fire). He pointed a gun at her. He pulled the trigger while he pointed the gun at her. His case did not require there to be live rounds in the gun. Brandon Lee died because of debris being launched from the gun after a blank was shot; it doesn't matter that Alec thought there were only blanks. I still think he killed her on purpose. Unprovable, granted, and so the involuntary manslaughter was what could be had. And then he escapes that.

Brady evidence must be favorable to the defendant as exculpatory or impeachment evidence. The source of the rounds is not in any way exculpatory and is only impeachment evidence concerning the source of the rounds.

It also can't be used to establish intervening cause because intervening cause (action) must happen after the dangerous act (Baldwin handling and discharging the firearm), not before the dangerous act.

Part of the defense's argument was diverting responsability to the armorer and another worker who were in charge of the bullets put on the gun. Any evidence of how the real bullets entered, were handed and ultimately were shot on set is relevant, regardless of how much help said evidence gives to the prosecution OR to the defense. The prosecutor took it upon herself to ASSUME the box of bullets was not important enough (she said the bullets "didn't look like" the ones on set, so she didn't believe there was credibility to the box), so she didn't hand them over to the defense. It was an utterly stupid desicion beyond her power, basically making all the trial questionable if any other evidence was or was not similarly mishandled.

[@josephalbatross5961]

@@kyleme9697 You: They hid evidence. Q: What do these bullets have to do with Baldwin’s case? You: Nothing directly. Q: Then, no, they didn’t hide material evidence. Literally nothing argued by the Defense team explains why these bullets are evidence. There is no testimony from any witness saying these bullets have a connection to Alec Baldwin’s case. In fact, Troy Teske, said they never left Arizona. Things have to first be evidence of something for them to be material to AB’s case. Prosecutor argued there was no reason to think they were evidence. I tend to agree unless someone can argue different.

The batch came from Joe Swanson…the police officer from family guy?!

[@riffbw]

What I want to know is where this extra box came from and why it was brought in by an outside party that is connected to one of the potential defendants. The ex-cop is a friend of the armorer's dad and just happens to walk in with a box of ammunition that matches what was fired on set? Yeah, that's a movie level twist to get some courtroom shenanigans going. Clearly someone wasn't telling the whole truth leading up to this and they waited until there was testimony that "everything" was turned over and then more was "discovered." I think we have a better case of someone "stealing" the live rounds from the set to avoid liability and those matching rounds being brought in later. To me, this warrants an investigation into evidence tampering. And the prosecution should be punished/disbarred for this. You cannot withhold evidence. Period. Full Stop.

[@MrDj232]

I'm confused. How does this evidence being hidden justify a dismissal? Prosecutors shouldn't hide any evidence but this wouldn't mean anything for Baldwin's case. Where did the bullets come from? Nate mentions another movie set but not which one specifically, nor how Teske got the ammo, nor how the ammo got from this other set to Rust's. Why did the prosecutor even try to hide this? Again, this evidence would not have helped Baldwin's case. Hiding it doesn't improve the odds of conviction, it just gives the judge a paper thin defense for a bad ruling. What's really going on here?

[@blueberrymcphuckerson9821]

It's not up to solely the Prosecution: the Defense needs to be made aware and decide as well so they have chance at making the best Defense-Case possible. The Prosecution decided solely by themselves that the evidence was irrelevant. We never got a chance to see if that evidence really mattered or not because of the Prosecution. Baldwin got lucky going up against an incompetant prideful Prosecution, simple as.

Just my opinion but the prosecution let Baldwin get away with manslaughter. Period. He was negligent just as the armorer was maybe not as negligent but negligent none the less. ANYBODY worth their salt knows you always chamber check and render any firearm given to you safe yourself. You never rely on others. That is how you get hurt or hurt someone else. My point was already made when Baldwin and his "armorer" killed that woman.

[@BusinessSkrub]

It doesn't matter, honestly. Whether or not it may have made a difference isn't what matters, it's the fact that SOMETHING was hidden at all. Regardless of what the hidden evidence was, it assumes disbelief and bias in the prosecution, and makes it so that you can't believe anything else they say, and thus the case will be moot.

[@MrDj232]

@@MrDj232 I guess it was a flagrant enough grievance that the judge decided there was prejudice. 🤷🏼

[@josephalbatross5961]

⁠@@BusinessSkrubYour view of the law is odd. If Troy Teske had handed the officers a toothpick from his home in Arizona, would the case be dismissed for failure to turn the toothpick over? Obviously not. The only reason there is a Brady motion is because Defense wants to say Teske’s ammo is material evidence in the case. But if Teske’s ammo is NOT material evidence in the case, then it would not matter what Prosecutors did with it. OP is asking why was Teske’s ammo material? What is it evidence of?

Along with all the other points that were made, don't forget that the pistol was sent to the FBI to be checked to see if it was able to fire without pulling the trigger. They said the test showed it could not but when the pistol was returned it was broken and completely unusable.

Interesting. I didn't know Eric Hunley had interview with Seth Kenny, and apparently almost subpoena by Morrissey. TBH. I take Seth Kenny word with a big grain of salt. He has every motive not to implicate himself. It amused me that Hancock (Lead Investigator) on this case "consult" with Seth Kenny (at least 10 seperate conversation) regarding the case while fully aware he is a person of interest. Even more crazy to me was Hancock gave access to open the safe combination on the movie set. Why gave the safe combination to the ammo supplier who potentially involved on the accident?
