Alec Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Case Dimissed In The Middle of The Trial and Canot Be Filed Again.

[meaner gene]

Rigged from the start. Dismissed on a stupid technicality. Pays to be a Democrat when you are a criminal.

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case based on misconduct of police and prosecutors over the withholding of evidence from the defense

Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963); Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150, 154 (1972). , Brady and Giglio evidence must be disclosed regardless of whether the defendant makes a request for exculpatory or impeachment evidence. Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 432-33 (1995).

It's not a technicality, it's required by the US Constitution.

Did they intentionally withhold the evidence in order to get Baldwin off?

Naw, I think this was just a backwater county that doesn't have the best lawyers or investigators... but they never really have defendants who can fight back in court.

Do you listen to people who know very little about movies?

What a great analogy, did I cite anyone who has little knowledge about movies and suggest they be listened to as in the post I was citing ...there is no reason to listen to the ones who do know a lot about movies never mind those who don't.

How you treat guns in real life, is completely opposite how you treat them on a movie set. In real life,

there's your problem, if NRA safety rules had been followed by Baldwin that woman would be alive today, instead he lectures and ignores them.

guns are meant to kill, so you take precautions to prevent it happening by accident.

do props kill?

In the movies guns are props, they're to be pointed at the bad guys and fired over and over and over. And when they run out of bullets, you reload and keep on shooting. They're to depict everything from assassinations to military combat.

and if the user is negligent in the use of those " movie props" could someone be killed? Was the armorer conviction wrong? was/is blaming him wrong?

That means it was dismissed on procedure not merit, i.e. it was not dismissed because he was innocent but because "they tried to frame a guilty man".

Except they really hadn't made a case he was guilty, had they?

If someone else brought the live rounds onto the set and put them into the gun, I'm not seeing how that's Baldwin's fault.

says who?

If someone else brought the live rounds onto the set and put them into the gun, I'm not seeing how that's Baldwin's fault.

No one is accusing him of being at fault to that point, his negligence came right after that point, Baldwins negligence comes from not knowing NRA safety procedures, his fault or not that woman would still be alive if he had followed them, instead he preaches against them then plays victim.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Except they really hadn't made a case he was guilty, had they?

Then why not let him be judged on the merits?

 

[JoeB131]

Then why not let him be judged on the merits?

Because the prosecutor's behavior was so egregious.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Because the prosecutor's behavior was so egregious.

I agree, framing anyone no matter their level of guilt or no matter how obvious, is still egregious behavior.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Because the prosecutor's behavior was so egregious.

What did he/she/they do again?

 

[JoeB131]

What did he/she/they do again?

They hid evidence from the defense.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

They hid evidence from the defense.

OK we're getting there, what evidence?

 

[there4eyeM]

The affair ended as predicted and as it should have; thrown out.

 

[d0gbreath]

They should appeal as long as it takes to get a non-biased court. Scummy, EVIL bastard that he is...

"Dismissed with prejudice" means there cannot be an appeal.

Look how happy the leftists are that one of their own got off the hook for killing a woman.

This is how we know their "gun control" arguments are pure bullshit.

Um, no. He got off the hook because it was a bullshit charge.
