I never liked any of this case from the start. I felt it was a horrible, horrible accident. Once we learned of the safety violations, and the sloppy work of the armorer, my eyes turned towards HGR. Then the origin of the live rounds, which apparently don’t matter to the case, but to me, are the heart of the matter. Live rounds on a set where they didn’t belong literally triggered the death of HH.I doubt it will work. State had a weak case against Baldwin as the 'trigger puller' (IMO he shouldn't have been charged for that) and seems like nobody really wants to go after him for what he did as producer. Which is sad because it was what he, and others, did while not in front of a camera that contributed to the shooting.
I'd be really interested in watching an appeal or post-trial hearing for HGR regarding the Teske ammo. But I don't think that will happen. It really has no bearing in what she did as armorer that day and I think her lawyers know it would be a losing battle, especially since they already knew about it during her trial.
But Bowles might smell blood in the water after what happened yesterday and take a shot at an appeal for this anyways.
There is culpability all the way around. TR, SK, SZ all had their hands in this. HGR is in prison with an 18 month sentence and I’m good with that. I am ok with the dismissal of AB’s charges. The death of HH at his hands will haunt him emotionally for the rest of his remaining life.
Time for all to move forward.
