Producer credits are given out like popcorn at Rural King. They are given for financial backing, for actual responsibility, as a perk instead of a raise, nepotism, and probably a dozen other reasons. I once did a low budget TV pilot that was not destined to be picked up and near the end of filming they had a "Producer Day" and there were like 20 producers that were flown out from LA, put in rooms, given per diem, partied in Chicago and flown back to LA Ill bet most of them had nothing to do with the production. On a given show there are generally a UPM and Executive Producer at location and a couple more in LA. They all have their own responsibilities which may overlap. Then associate producers, line producers, assistant producers.......... The film business is nothing like any other business I have ever seen or heard about.Wasn't Baldwin also the movie producer in this case?
That lies additional responsibilities and culpability squarely at his feet.
Understood, but it was my understanding that he was the head producer.Producer credits are given out like popcorn at Rural King.

Standard procedures are for the actor to have the firearm and ammo to be proven to be safe to the actor before it is loaded and put in his hands. I have outlined the proper procedures that I have seen used in small and big budget movies in this thread
The prosecution did not share in discovery what they had and may have done so intentionally…I don't understand what makes the "overlooked" ammo exculpatory.
I understand that. I'm asking what makes that which was withheld exculpatory?The prosecution did not share in discovery what they had and may have done so intentionally…
It is not exculpatory, it is prosecutorial malfeasance if not misconduct. Once proven usually even convictions are overturned.I understand that. I'm asking what makes that which was withheld exculpatory?
I should have said if could possibly be exculpatory it is prosecutorial malfeasance if not misconduct.If it isn't exculpatory or beneficial to the defense, why would the prosecutor hide/omit it?
I stand corrected on where Baldwin's fatal shot landed. Baldwin violated every rule of gun safety and that ultimately is HIS responsibility. The ammunition shouldn't even enter into it, except to show that it was live ammunition. What did the prosecution try to hide about the ammo and how does it relate to the case?Ummm...1) she was shot in in the chest, not the face; and 2) ammo matters because it was a movie set and the armorer screwed up by load live rounds that were not even authorized to be on the set.
Yes, he pulled the trigger. Not disputing that at all.
But the bottom line remains that the armorer screwed up and even worse...the prosecution really screwed up. And NO, I don't think they were paid off. They were playing a game by hiding evidence and they got caught.
This is my question, too. I have yet to find an answer.What did the prosecution try to hide about the ammo and how does it relate to the case?
Evidence was turned into the authorities. The prosecution knew about it and did not inform the defense. It is pretty basic stuff.I stand corrected on where Baldwin's fatal shot landed.

I believe this will answer your questions. The biggest question was; where did the live ammo come from? Evidence of its origins were presented in March. I expect the armorers conviction to be overturned immediately.This is my question, too. I have yet to find an answer.
Interesting. I see no connection between the source of the live ammo and Baldwin's culpability or lack thereof. Also, weird how the prosecutor accused of the misdeed testified under oath that she appreciated Baldwin's politics.I believe this will answer your questions.

“A witness confirmed to the judge on Friday afternoon that a special prosecutor in the case, Kari Morrissey, was directly involved in the decision to file the evidence in an entirely different case file separate from the other Rust materials.”

New Mexico judge agrees charges should be dropped after lawyers said state ‘buried’ evidence about live ammunitionwww.theguardian.com
If the Brady violations were not so common it might be more likely there was a conspiracy. It seems more likely the special prosecutor needed the scalps to justify the massive payday she wanted to bill taxpayersInteresting.

If I were a prosecutor that wanted to clear the accused, because I agree with his politics, how would I do it? Hmm...
I have no love for AB either. Make no mistake, he is a douche-bag.I stand corrected on where Baldwin's fatal shot landed.
