    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.

        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.

          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.
