Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice based on the misconduct of police and prosecutors over the withholding of evidence from the defense in the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust.”
“Grr I am so angry the police withheld evidence so you weren’t able to be properly charged that I’m going to make sure no one can ever charge you for it again this effectively ensuring the police and prosecutors won”
“We can’t possibly determine the truth in this circumstance because officers of the court and the law both conspired to establish a pre-determined outcome by misusing their authority and resources, so we’ll ensure that you can’t be charged again.”
Maybe cops and lawyers should play by the rules if they want the law to put people in prison.
Well, then I guess everyone involved got what they wanted. Are you upset because things didn’t go the way they were never going to go? It was obvious from the outset that he would never step foot in prison even outside of this conspiracy to withhold evidence.
The state should not be able to keep charging someone till they get it right. Thats the principal behind this dismissal. If the state can keep coming back to charge you we might as well be the Soviet Union.

Why would they want to play by the rules when they got a rich white man out of trouble?
This is the result cops wanted.
Really because it seemed to me the cops wanted him locked up.
If the cops and prosecutors really didn’t want him to be charged, they could have just, you know, not charged him

I’m angry that the legal system is a pathetic joke.
Is it a joke because it’s dumb, or because you don’t understand it?
This is the real answer. ‘This is stupid, because I don’t understand’ seems to be a common theme with people around the world.
How well do you think you understand said joke?
You can’t fight racism by being racist.
Ew.
