I Hope The Armorer Gets Released Like Yesterday Cause Wtaf - Tumblr Posts

In the wake of the Alec Baldwin trial dismissal, we should all be asking ourselves why the prosecutors felt so empowered to brazenly doctor the case. From what I can tell, they…

…tried to add a charge that didn’t exist when the incident occurred.

…beat key evidence—the gun involved in the incident itself—to pieces with a hammer before the defense could examine it, reconstructed it, and went “trust us bro, it works exactly the same as when we got it.”

…hid live rounds taken from the movie set under a different case file, labeled as documents instead of physical evidence, and went “yeahhhhh but those aren’t relevant” only to have the judge look at them with her own eyes and determine the rounds were a dead ringer for the one that killed the victim.

If law enforcement felt confident enough to pull this in a high profile case in the national news, against a rich white actor with a household name, I can only imagine how many times that corruption has flown under the radar against those without the resources to defend themselves against it.
