Has anyone explained why there were even real bullets on set in the first place?

Because she would use the guns for shooting with friends when they weren’t being used for filming. Because she’s an idiot.

I could not embed tweets, so.this is what I wanted to add to the post.Today they showed her emails where she was probably high the day before.

Her phone number was shown on court TV and she says she has been getting harassed.

The below photos show a the real bullet with the damage dummy's and the defense says the gun shop was a mess and blames them photos below.

Holy shit, that is scary

Sorry but the gun shop mixup story is nonsense. It’s hard to tell the difference between bullets at that angle but in many cases very easy when you see them from the other side (bullet face up).

And even then they absolutely feel different which is why every gun must have its ammo unloaded and “rattled” before being declared cold.

And moreover it was literally her job to check them.

A whole damn mess. She should absolutely face repercussions. RIP Halyna.

negligence is a crime! omfg I hate cases of negligence because it wouldn't happen if someone did their due diligence. Idk even if u hire a nepobaby armorer there should be a few more ppl to double check along the line

She's absolutely to blame. Maybe other people are, as well, but other people being involved doesn't change the fact her job was to oversee the weapons used and she put a gun on set that had a bullet in it.

Yeah the issue here is that several people are directly at fault, which is a challenge in a court system and society that wants to find a single perpetrator. Baldwin is guilty, the AD is guilty, she is guilty.
