It's weird because starting with Hannah's trial she seems wishy - washy. Like not bothering to enforce her speaking objections ruling. But yesterday she was in full I am the boss judge mode.
The other prosecutor should be praised as well (Erlinda Johnson IIRC). She quit in protest when Morrissey refused to dismiss after it was discovered evidence had been buried
It was a special prosecutor assigned to the case. She is normally a defense attorney. I think she didn't know the police gave these items a different case number, but also didn't think the bullets were relevant.
This is a lot closer to the Kohberger case. Bill Thompson is trying to keep evidence from the defense that could potentially be exculpatory. Clearly, prosecutors have been allowed to get away with so much for too long.
Maybe a little over. The judge was questioning witnesses. Johnson might go back to private practice as a defense attorney. I doubt if there will be a lot of flack drom other defense attorneys. You want a totally weird case. US v Trump, Mara Lago. That judge was so biased the case was screwed from here to H**l and back
It was insane but just the most brilliant theatre ever in a courtroom. And yes it was 100 percent right. You start to compromise on justice and soon you have no justice at all. The judge was so brave. I admire her so much
It was traumatic to watch. But important for the nation. As an outsider it’s great to see justice in action and mistakes being found out. It’s rare in this world. USA needed that to happen and lessons need to be learnt. The prosecutor is dangerous to democracy and justice.
@oiooi6460 Beautifully said!! I could not agree with you more. The integrity of the system cannot be allowed to be eroded by corruption, corner-cutting, politics, personal opinions, wanting to "win", etc. We have seen a lot of shady stuff in trials this past year and it must be stopped. People like the prosecutor who stepped away due to ethics and this judge doing what needed to be done help turn things back around to how things must be done to ensure justice for all.
I absolutely LOVE Peter's analysis but I wouldn't want him to stop practicing law to do YT full time. We desperately need lawyers with his intelligence and most importantly his ethics out in the field.
Didn’t realize it was one or the other - thought he is doing both. But, if he has to chose one, as good as he probably is in court, I think our society as a whole desperately needs to learn how to use reason rather than emotion to assess issues - legal & otherwise - and Peter is reaching more people via YT.
@@IAmALawyerToo It isn't an either or. I was reacting to a superchat that asked Peter if he would ever consider doing YT full time rather than practice.
The judge in this case was by far the best judge I have witnessed in a while after following the REED and YSL case. Its a breathe of fresh air seeing judges acting professionally and remaining unbiased. Much respect to her!
I so agree with you!! So rewarding to see a judge fairly administer justice, especially after the slimy dealings we've seen recently in the two trials you mentioned!
For someone who "never saw these until today" she's taking a long time to explain how she looked at them and thought about them and determined what to do about them
I think she was working very hard to convince the judge (and viewers) that this was all the police's fault. She sees a picture of bullets that don't look like a match and just assumes they'll get filed correctly but won't have any bearing on the case. Meanwhile the CST who took them in sees that they do match and files it under a different case # and nobody thinks about it again
Yeah, she gave an interview, she wanted the prosecution to dismiss the case when she learned about the buried evidence, and when Morrissey refused, she quit in protest. Gigachad move from that prosecutor.
Yeah she's a liar too just like Kari. Sorry. In opening statements she states that Alec Baldwin should have checked the gun. That is not correct. SAG guidelines state: The guidelines require an experienced, qualified armorer to be put in charge of all handling, use, and safekeeping of firearms on set. These duties include “inspecting the firearm and barrel before and after every firing sequence,” and “checking all firearms before each use.” The guidelines do not make it the performer’s responsibility to check any firearm.
She knew what was going on but when it looked like they were caught THEN she wanted to dismiss. I'm sure there is protocols for this type of situation a higher up she could have went to, to see what to do
@@lpr5269Yes. Agree. Does your airline pilot kick the tires and check under the hood? Do you look under the hood and the transmission when you rent a car? NO. NOT YOUR JOB. A.B., not HIS JOB to check the rounds or guns. He was EVEN TOLD when handed the gun when setting up the scene w Hanna, "cold gun." Meaning NOT CONTAINING LIVE ROUNDS. Thank you, @lpr5269, for your words. Correct words.
I always knew it was not the actor's job. If tomorrow any one of us was asked to be the new and untapped find to star in a movie western, too we would need to trust the armorer-- no matter one's background in handling a weapon prior.
And yet, the two men actually responsible for giving that ammo to Hannah walk away with nothing….. They are the ones most responsible for how the live ammo got on set
I so agree with you. Did AB handle the gun recklessly, yes but a actor on a closed set that should only have blanks and dummies on it should not have to worry that someone will introduce live rounds. The ones that should be on trial should be the one who brought in the live rounds and possibly the one who provided the live rounds if they knew it was going to a movie set.
It's interesting that in the first trial with Hannah everything was pretty fair. Because she is a nobody. No reason to cheat. All of a sudden with Baldwin's trial, they pull all these shenanigans.
Amen! I agree 💯. She has proven herself to be a woman of courage, conviction, and integrity! We will all be known by our actions and she is a hero in my book. Hope Morrisey learns a lesson from her counterpart and changes her ways, because she has also been shown by her actions.
@@russianxcoiladventures9477 She came on late in the case to replace the other guy because he was busy with another case. She had nothing to do with this evidence. She left because she knew it was over and didn't want to stick around.
😢She was on board for prosecuting Alec Baldwin until she saw how shady the prosecutor was. Which is good, but how she trusted this liar of prosecutor makes me question her intuition, so her judgment is called into question.
I would love to have this judge on something like the Karen Reed case. No nonsense ,call it as she sees it, morally obligated, right wrong or indifferent,all in the name of Justice
Thats a cynical response. I also wish KR had an ethical judge. would no doubt have had a mistrial by now.Also your put down of TB.He may have been over zealous but only because the state has been appalling and law enforcement corrupt law@@oiooi6460
@@oiooi6460did you watch the Karen Read case?? The evidence was completely in her favor and entirely against the prosecution! The solid science is the bottom line that opinions, feelings, ideas, hunches, and even what our own perceptions may otherwise tell us!
@LisaPFrampton I did, and it wasn't. But this case was about the tragic death of Ms Hutchens. Nothing to do with Karen Read. I'm sick of her propagandists infecting every discussion. Have some respect for the people involved in this case, for goodness sake
Man… it’s insane how much incompetence/corruption has seemingly been exposed these past few months with all of these high profile trials. It’s disappointing, and disheartening to think how often this stuff happens. Hopefully this type of exposure will start righting some wrongs.
NO incompetence. ALL corruption. The deputies in this case were barely over a 5th grade education--Sheriff needs to step down. Morrissey needs to be charged with at least perjury, and fired, and Poppel and fat-lips Hancock need to lose their jobs as well, AND be prosecuted. Can conspiracy be charged for this?
I was just thinking this earlier. It's sad and terrifying. The only reason most of this is exposed is because of cameras and the Internet. This judge is great! And I'm glad she is taking control of this trial.
If the ammo came from Kenny, so what? WHAT DOES IT CHANGE? Reed loaded the gun. Baldwin fired it negligently. There are MILLIONS of 45 Colt hand loads in Starline casings all over the South West. Most people are very gun naive & ignorant. The ammo is a distraction for the childish public. Was it tested?!? Does it match the other ammo?!? THINK! Please! THINK!!!!!!!! A woman is DEAD. Baldwin killed her & was complaining about his vacation plans two hours later! Wake up!!!
There was a murder that happened in Alaska in the 1980’s. A woman killed her boyfriend by hacking him into pieces and likely putting him in a crab pot. They never found a body and the girl moved to Chicago and became a woman. In the 2010’s the house they lived in was remodeled and during the remodel massive amounts of dried blood was found between the flooring and the subfloor. The Alaska Troopers cold case unit came out and tested 30 year old blood and got a match based on science that didn’t exist in the 1980’s. They flew to Chicago and arrested the woman who was in her 50’s and happily married with children and she is now serving a life sentence. All of this is to say evidence can come in decades later and if properly tested it can make a case that was dead for 30 years.
I watched this happening live and was losing my mind. The prosecution was so convincing that the bullets didn't match and were irrelevant and the Judge comes in and is like, "I'll see about that." And when some of the bullets did match!! 😱💀 I was screaming watching that Judge go from zero to a hundred on the rage scale.
Because you were unavailable yesterday, I watched other attorneys react/explain this. I'm not kissing ass when I tell you how good you are! So much more important stuff they missed or left out that you get to in a short time. I could go on and on. I'm so glad I found you! I started watching you during KR. Thanks for working so hard to make us average people smarter about the law! ❤️✌️
I have such a deep admiration & respect for people who stand up for what they believe is the right & just thing to do. I teared up a little bit when you read that superchat that you've inspired someone to return to law school at 32. You are such a positive, upbeat & interesting person and the way you share your knowledge & expertise about the law, I believe has a positive far reaching impact on so many of us- even in our regular daily lives. Keep up the amazing work Peter! I could see you as a law school professor or in a university one day!
Amen!! Morality/integrity in all would make the world a better place, but one of the places I most need to know it exists is in our justice system. I admire this judge and the prosecutor who resigned over ethical convictions! I hope the crooked learn a lesson from their virtue. Also, if I ever needed a lawyer, I'd hope and pray to get someone of Peter's upstanding character. Whether one is a defendant or a victim, we all need honest lawyers, csi, judges, LE, jurors, etc in order for the system to earn the title of a "Justice" system.
Her ego was entertaining- she was a fierce prosecutor,played games well (I thought until that certain point), was annoying yet I was cheering her on Thursday. Then I still tried to look at her point of view even though I believed she had acted wrongly, and believed Baldwin should have the dismissal w/prejudice. THEN she took the stand and, oh hell no. The arrogance was disgusting. I am really upset AB will never have a criminal trial over his arrogance, I would have loved to watch a well presented trial. I plan on “Amber Heard’ing” every project he takes on from here on out. Cancel.
I love the judge in this trial, she was so good on Friday, when she put on gloves and inspected evidence, it brought a tear to my eye, I'm glad to see the prosecutor go from Queen of the court to a laughingstock,
@@Katherinedawn25 it wasn't a "technicality" that's not the correct word to use. It was malfeasance and bad faith by the prosecutor, lead investigator and crime scene technician. Hiding evidence from defense. I was applauding the judge for doing her job. Blame the shady Prosecutor for Alec going free if you need someone to get mad at. It wasn't a technicality, it was illegal corruption.
@@Katherinedawn25 pretty complicated way to murder someone. Manipulating dozens of people and props, doing it in front of a lot of cameras and witnesses. He must have REALLY hated this woman to conjure up such a plan. And to do it personally, that's ballsy. Must have had a strong motive to get aways with such a crime.
Lawyer here. Love your broadcast. Morrisey is either incompetent in believing the evidence wasn’t relevant, and/or has an ethical blind spot and was too personally invested for her own gain. Either way, the Judge is the real heroine here. She saw it and shut it down immediately
Thanks for your analysis. I couldn't believe the behavior of this Prosecutor. She tried to run the courtroom. Wouldn't object properly and led the witnesses to the point of her testifying. Crazy. Love your tie dye shirt. 😎
@@bjferry7192 The Innocence Project is very busy, and that tells us something. It happens a lot. It happens in small ways, too. When I was 17, I was caught going 15 over the speed limit. The cop wrote it as 30 over and gave me a reckless driving ticket. I was fortunate - my parents could hire me a lawyer.
That’s always the question. I read a statistic that over 30% of inmates were either wrongly convicted or charged with more serious offenses than warranted. And no they don’t have fancy lawyers to help them.
Look at the Karen Read case - the level of corruption etc are insane and terrifying. Kari got smacked down so hard by this judge - beautiful. See what a real judge looks like Aunt Bev?!
Awesome end to this trial! Shut that woman down and exposed her ethics, which are on par with her demeanor! She went down yapping!! Glad judge stepped up and co-counsel stepped out. Very exciting day!
This woman's idol is Hillary Clinton. Sorry to bring politics into it but I was astounded by the connection, both are just as loathsome, resemble each other, and have the same politics.
These are so easy to watch, Peter is really charismatic but beyond that he does the work to condense everything, I love these recaps, I used to listen to trialstreams at work but there's just so much going on and so much downtime, love putting on a stream replay on my drive home or sometimes it live depending on what time we finish. Really impressed with the coverage and the streams with his dad. Extremely knowledgeable and honest people. Edit: Like normally I can't stand watching anything trial related at regular speed but I caught this live so in realtime and it was great
They are the best! Yesterday I was like, I hope Peter doesn't tear himself away from whatever life stuff he's doing to react to this, but I also can't wait to hear his explanation!
The only thing I don't like about surfing up the trial feed is that sometimes I have to slow it down to understand some attorneys and when I do Peter is to slow lol still it's better than watching 8 hours at regular speed.😂
I am a mental health counselor. I’ve worked with kids in schools for years. ABs lawyer is like the kid that annoys the teachers, but I can’t help but love him!!!!!
I love him. He is not as smooth, and he doesn't have that cool factor like Jackson does, but there is something sweet about him. And he came accros as respectful, especially by comparison with Morrisey he is an angel.
Who would have thought that allowing the public see all court cases regardless of where they live and the court case is happening, would shine a light on misconduct? Streaming all cases in the US is a must at this point. Then bad apples can be found and thrown out.
Kudos to this Judge While I am not a fan of AB, he did not deserve the character assassination he got with this special prosecutor and her team Thanks @LYK and team for great coverage
To see this case, get dismissed while Karen Read’s case is not is absolutely mind blowing. This judge is obviously fair and not corrupt. And not in bed with the whole prosecution side, including Auntie to many of the witnesses/third-party culprits.
I could not agree with you more! It is indeed so refreshing to see her integrity! We have seen a lack of same integrity in her co-counsel and in several investigations, judges, lawyers lately and it should frighten us all. These examples of integrity and those who show a lack of it should continue to be shown in hopes of making the system one worthy of the name "justice" system.
Peter you are simply the best! I have mentioned LYK to so many following Karen Reed. Many who understand "lawyering" from a MA 🙄 perspective. You are #1 Class Act
It's really interesting to see how differently evidence hiding/missing evidence is handled in the Karen Read trial and Alec Baldwin trial. It's also VERY frustrating to see that there's hidden or missing evidence in two back to back trials. It's scary to think that this happens.
A lot of stuff happens. Cameras are allowing the public to find out, though. This county won't be perfect, but they'll change some practices. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Karen should've never been brought up on charges and when the scientists proved that John was not hit or killed by a car the case should've been dismissed right there. There was simply zero solid evidence to put any blame on Karen whatsoever. In this case Alec's constitutional rights were also infringed upon and it was the right thing to do to dismiss it. It's such a tragedy to have that man walk free from such a terrible and horrible tragedy that happened at his very own hands and pay zero responsibility for it. But, if they'd gone on with this trial and he'd been charged it would've been unconstitutional and he would've been exonerated at a later time anyway.
WoW!! Speechless! How true even more now then ever....lawyers maintain top notch ethics and moral standards and always do what is right.. Hats off to our "Lawyer You know"...Peter~ maintaining such standards. That's why he has the opportunity to speak on that very subject. Congrats Peter....you are so appreciated.
I’m so happy to follow along on these cases with professionals that know better. I’ve learned with Peter and EDB for years now and I’ve learned more about law and trials than I could have imagined. I think many people don’t realize how relevant this all is to everyone in the country. We need to know as much as possible! Thanks for all you do Peter!
I agree! While it's been scary and disheartening to see some of the shady, biased, unethical things we've seen in trials, it's necessary in order to turn things around and make it truly about fairness and justice. Peter has caused me to see that these cases and ethical issues affect us ALL and we should all want to ensure true justice for all is the rule not a whim.
Unfortunately people with moral and ethics are rare. Everyone who lied should be held in contempt and go to jail so they learn not to lie on the stand. Lead investigator and csi witches for sure..
And those of us who have them are usually hated for being inflexible. Ethics and morals are hard - especially when you have to exercise them in tough situations
@@BookishDarkwhat you say here is such a hard fact that those live with trying to do the right thing, it draws much criticism...😢for not playing along to the wrongs, especially in family & friend circles we get the hot instead of the ones doing wrongs. It hurts.😢
@@brendasmart553 1000% agree. It can be extremely lonely. People generally want things to be easy..and sticking to your beliefs can make things damn hard
I disagree. Ethics have nothing to do with the prosecutor getting top comfortable with the evidence. It does not make her a bad person because all she wanted to do is to get justice for Halyna.
The fact that the live round bullet turned in to the sheriff’s office was a match to the dummy ammo proves to me that they could have thought the live round was dummy ammo on set
Exactly, if they needed the FBI to differentiate the lives from the dummies, then how was Alec supposed to know the difference even if he had checked? He’s not a trained armorer!
Peter, watching late, but absolutely appreciative your ethics and perspective. The prosecutors behavior was not okay and an example of what a power trip looks like. Kudos to Ms. Johnson for standing up for ethical behavior!!
@@techninja4136it’s horrifying. I don’t like Baldwin but prosecutors like this are dangerous to the nation as it makes people uncomfortable as they can see how justice is in the hands of those who are unjust
Lol I was completely last since I haven't been following this case at all. Wasn't really interested. But then I saw it was dismissed and I had to go figure out WHY. A lot of channels were talking about it with the assumption the viewers would know who all these names are & how they're involved & I couldn't figure it out. I ended up watching a 6 hour stream from DUI Guy (he was in the court room but his girlfriend was running the stream & reporting on his tweets live) but was able to get a better understanding of what happened & why the defense was requesting a mistrial. Just finished that (watched some last night) & here for Peter's take.
Yes I feel the same way. At first I didn’t like the defense attorney and I was rolling my eyes. After seeing all of this, I’m very impressed and glad that it turned out that way because someone had a conscience!! I wish KR had such a blessing
There’s so so much to say on this trial, but the thing that is sticking out to me with watching this is how amazingly engaged the judge is. She isn’t missing a BEAT!
Thanks for covering this, Peter! I was amazed when this came to be yesterday. I recently had my own case and having fear of the unknown, was given advice from my attorney, “just tell the truth”. So simple to do and I wish Kari had just done that. The fact that she would is a defense attorney makes it even worse!
Me, too!!! And, after some of the shady stuff I've seen lately (this, KR, and YSL just to name a few), I really needed to see the integrity and courage I saw in the prosecutor who resigned over this unethical spectacle and this unbiased, fair judge!
IF I were a prosecutor I would always lean into the thought that 'if it is even remotely possible that it could be evidence, then it's going in the file', better to err into too much than not having everything.
Which is why I am giving side eye to the LE and prosecutors in the IDAHO 4 , and the Delphi investigations! If they have all the evidence- hand it ALL over and get on with it! I am going to need ACTUAL EVIDENCE to convince me from now on! My eyes have been opened and LE is SUSPECT until they prove it to me with admissible, irrefutable evidence that they are telling the truth I will never trust them again! FREE KAREN REED!
It’s very disheartening that the prosecution would purposely hide evidence to argue their case. From the public’s perspective it’s very shady and makes one give pause to the judicial process and that is VERY unfortunate. She should be cited to prove to the public that the whole process is not morally corrupt.
I was waiting for your video on this! Thank you so much for your input as an attorney. I was watching bits and pieces yesterday and couldn't BELIEVE what I was hearing.
Peter is the Cliff Notes of LawTube. He breaks down the most important points and shows the critical moments in the trial. When I watch the trial live I STILL always need the LYK breakdown of the days events! Welcome to an awesome channel!
I love law tube and watch more channels than I care to admit to - but your background as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney really brings the richest commentary of everyone imho. Fav channel
A LOT of criminal defense attorneys were former prosecutors...including among the other law tubers like Nate the Lawyer.. But you are correct that this channel is one of the best of them!
I couldn’t wait for Peter’s analysis! It was like watching the Hindenburg go down, but I wasn’t sure I believed what I saw until Peter commented! Thanks!
Some of the trials we’ve seen really make me nervous in so many ways. If I’m in any way involved in a situation yielding legal remedy, I seriously cannot trust the “system” to do the right things. In this case if there was no “rat” how would the defense know?? And Kari’s hostile personality does no favors in any case.
53:58 you are misunderstanding. HGR’s defense team knew about the Teske ammo, and originally was going to call him as a witness re: the ammo. during trial, they decided to forego using Teske and his ammo at trial. HGR case rested and went to the jury. THEN Teske brought this to law enforcement while presentation of evidence in HGR’s case was done and closed. the BWC footage, logging/storage of the Teske ammo, and the supplemental report all happened after the close of evidence in HGR’s case and after HGR had an opportunity to present the Teske ammo and Teske’s testimony but chose not to. conversely, ALL of this happened while AB’s case was pending and months before it went to trial. no Brady issue for HGR, definite Brady issue for AB. that’s the distinction.
I would disagree. The evidence was deemed by the judge to be impeachment evidence. It could be used in a sabotage defense, which could affect the verdict and sentencing of HGR. Add into that the obvious corruption of the investigator and prosecutor, and I think they have a good case for a retrial at the least.
The only person saying HGR's defense didn't want to use Teske or his evidence is Morrissey, whom we know is a liar. In the bodycam footage, Teske never says Bowles didn't want to use the ammo. His wife, on the other hand, makes a statement about "they didn't want to use it" as she was cutting him off. It's unclear whether she was referring to HGR's defense turning it away or the state turning it away. Plus, after she says that, Teske tells her "its my story;" he, being involved with Thell Reed, HGR, and Seth Kenney, knows more about what went on with all this than she does. He's the witness, not her. Please tell me where Bowles turned Teske away? It doesn't make sense that he would have knowing what I know so far.
@@isuckatguitar12 did you not listen to anything teske said? it was public knowledge teske was on the defense witness list for the HGR trial. that’s not in dispute. HGR defense never actually called him as a witness. that’s not in dispute. teske went to the SFSO on the day the defense rested their case and the case was given to the jurors for deliberation. teske says on the body cam that he was supposed to be called as a witness and was told to bring those rounds. he says they didn’t ultimately call him to the stand, so he didn’t want to continue holding onto the rounds. the “they” who ended up not actually calling him to the stand couldn’t have been the prosecution. he was not on the prosecution witness list, but WAS on the defense witness list. the prosecution also rested their case 2 days prior on March 4. there was never any dispute that Bowles had initially planned to call him, but changed his mind.
Thank you Peter- you are always informative. Watching this judge take control of this case and the court room was impressive. Makes the Karen Read case the greatest side-show on earth. So much prosecutorial and LE misconduct but Bev never batted an eye!
Peter, can you not put up the big comments on screen when you’re showing testimony in court? It covers up the closed captions making it hard to follow along. Or move the screen up a bit? Love your analysis!
Yeah, what if an actor is told to run, grab a pipe, and hit the monster pursuing them, but the foam pipe wasn’t replaced with a real one so they wind up hitting the other’s scull? When things are moving that fast they wouldn’t have time in that split second to realize it’s more solid than it’s supposed to be, they’re in the moment and doing what they’re supposed to do! (Then everyone tracks down who was assigned to set the prop pipe and tear them a new one for not doing their job.)
Hard disagree, he was not shooting a scene he was doing blocking. There was no reason to pull the trigger, also he was using a replica instead of a prop gun at his request. When using a replica you have to treat it like a real gun. He was reckless.
@TheKhaliente Hard disagree with you. Alec was still an actor in a scene doing blocking or not. He was NOT a civilian in public wild with a gun. Actors are allowed to go through their motions even in blocking. Unless he was told specifically NOT to pull the trigger, it is logical for a scene he would do that if he was handed a gun. I am a part-time actor & know nothing about guns. If I was handed a gun, I have full expectation that the armourer & safety officer are handing me a gun with blanks. If I pulled the trigger & killed someone , would I be charged like Alec? If I get given an antique real switch & box to ignite prop dynamite on a bridge, but it turns out to be real dynamite that kills someone - am I at fault as I had full expectation the dynamite was fake? Whoever brought live ammo on to the set, plus whoever loaded a film set gun with live ammo is at fault. Hannah was at fault, so was disgusting Seth Kenney. Seth was never charged as he should have been. Instead, Seth manipulated the investigation & set up Hannah to take the fall alone.
Tesky said in his interview with/ Poppell he was a “former police officer and a judge.” At that moment I would have received this evidence w/ ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY.
This judge treated the prosecution as they deserved. She was over their games and pulling the wool over peoples eyes. This is how judge Bev spoke to the defense on the KR case without warrant. This judge is honorable and did the right thing for justice. ❤
Stuck with you for the whole video. It was very eye opening, and I thank you for breaking it down like you did. I have the utmost respect for those involved in this case that stood for their ethics and morals.
That prosecutor acted like she ran the show! When she testified, she answered questions in a rude way, always repeating that the ammo never left AZ, so it was not real evidence!
Is the name Morresey cursed to be only for people who love corruption 😆😫 also, this judge is AMAZING! What a great example of how the rule of law should be followed in our country. She gives me hope for this crappy system that has become so corrupt over the last few decades 😮💨❤️
It was cool to hear Johnson say the same stuff you mention in so many or your videos. Sometimes it sounds a little idealistic but it's nice to see others following it and doing what is right! Thank you for the extra long video to go through everything with us
And thank you Peter for breaking this down! I love your analysis’ of these cases! I also think that is so refreshing that the Judge shows she is ethical and although she tried to keep this case going forward she did the right thing setting the example of how we need to handle cases fairly and transparently to ensure we all have a fair trial!
Related to the nursing analogy that was a live question: in Canada, it is part of nursing duties to NOT inject or administer anything we didn’t prepare ourselves. A nurse would get in big trouble for giving a patient something that was prepared by someone else 🙂
Police officers who have been dishonest are sometimes referred to as "Brady cops". Because of the Brady ruling, prosecutors are required to notify defendants and their attorneys whenever a law enforcement official involved in their case has a confirmed record of knowingly lying in an official capacity.
THIS JUDGE NEEDS TO BE PRAISED BY THE PUBLIC!!!!!
It's weird because starting with Hannah's trial she seems wishy - washy. Like not bothering to enforce her speaking objections ruling. But yesterday she was in full I am the boss judge mode.

This is a lot closer to the Kohberger case. Bill Thompson is trying to keep evidence from the defense that could potentially be exculpatory. Clearly, prosecutors have been allowed to get away with so much for too long.

It was traumatic to watch. But important for the nation. As an outsider it’s great to see justice in action and mistakes being found out. It’s rare in this world. USA needed that to happen and lessons need to be learnt. The prosecutor is dangerous to democracy and justice.
@oiooi6460 Beautifully said!! I could not agree with you more. The integrity of the system cannot be allowed to be eroded by corruption, corner-cutting, politics, personal opinions, wanting to "win", etc. We have seen a lot of shady stuff in trials this past year and it must be stopped. People like the prosecutor who stepped away due to ethics and this judge doing what needed to be done help turn things back around to how things must be done to ensure justice for all.
I absolutely LOVE Peter's analysis but I wouldn't want him to stop practicing law to do YT full time. We desperately need lawyers with his intelligence and most importantly his ethics out in the field.
This is so true
Didn’t realize it was one or the other - thought he is doing both. But, if he has to chose one, as good as he probably is in court, I think our society as a whole desperately needs to learn how to use reason rather than emotion to assess issues - legal & otherwise - and Peter is reaching more people via YT.
Agreed!
@@IAmALawyerToo It isn't an either or. I was reacting to a superchat that asked Peter if he would ever consider doing YT full time rather than practice.
@@BKLisaP Agreed. But when he takes time to go speak on legal ethics, that has a bigger impact. He can help spread the mindset.
The judge in this case was by far the best judge I have witnessed in a while after following the REED and YSL case. Its a breathe of fresh air seeing judges acting professionally and remaining unbiased. Much respect to her!
I so agree with you!! So rewarding to see a judge fairly administer justice, especially after the slimy dealings we've seen recently in the two trials you mentioned!
Judge Boise in the vallow/ daybell case is absolutely amazing. Controlled the court room, was firm but fair and very respectful of the jury.
For someone who "never saw these until today" she's taking a long time to explain how she looked at them and thought about them and determined
what to do about them
I think she was working very hard to convince the judge (and viewers) that this was all the police's fault. She sees a picture of bullets that don't look like a match and just assumes they'll get filed correctly but won't have any bearing on the case. Meanwhile the CST who took them in sees that they do match and files it under a different case # and nobody thinks about it again
Kudos to the prosecutor who walked away total respect for her
Yeah, she gave an interview, she wanted the prosecution to dismiss the case when she learned about the buried evidence, and when Morrissey refused, she quit in protest. Gigachad move from that prosecutor.
Yeah she's a liar too just like Kari. Sorry. In opening statements she states that Alec Baldwin should have checked the gun. That is not correct. SAG guidelines state: The guidelines require an experienced, qualified armorer to be put in charge of all handling, use, and safekeeping of firearms on set. These duties include “inspecting the firearm and barrel before and after every firing sequence,” and “checking all firearms before each use.” The guidelines do not make it the performer’s responsibility to check any firearm.
She knew what was going on but when it looked like they were caught THEN she wanted to dismiss. I'm sure there is protocols for this type of situation a higher up she could have went to, to see what to do
@@lpr5269Yes. Agree. Does your airline pilot kick the tires and check under the hood? Do you look under the hood and the transmission when you rent a car? NO. NOT YOUR JOB. A.B., not HIS JOB to check the rounds or guns. He was EVEN TOLD when handed the gun when setting up the scene w Hanna, "cold gun." Meaning NOT CONTAINING LIVE ROUNDS. Thank you, @lpr5269, for your words. Correct words.
I always knew it was not the actor's job.
If tomorrow any one of us was asked to be the new and untapped find to star in a movie western, too we would need to trust the armorer-- no matter one's background in handling a weapon prior.
10,000 points to the judge for badassery.
💯agree! SHE BE CRAZY! But that makes me love her sooo much!
@@MysticalMermaidshe did the right thing in the situ. It’s wild that the prosecutor would be so crazy. Judge had no option.
WORD!!!!!!
And yet, the two men actually responsible for giving that ammo to Hannah walk away with nothing….. They are the ones most responsible for how the live ammo got on set
Who are the two men?
Seth and Dave definitely should be in jail with Hannah!
Right?!?! Bus, meet hgr. Hgr, meet bus
I so agree with you. Did AB handle the gun recklessly, yes but a actor on a closed set that should only have blanks and dummies on it should not have to worry that someone will introduce live rounds. The ones that should be on trial should be the one who brought in the live rounds and possibly the one who provided the live rounds if they knew it was going to a movie set.
@@grantedparticle90
Don’t forget about Sarah Zachary
SUPER fair judge , the judge is not corrupt. The prosecution is corrupt. This are the judges u want , I live her
It's interesting that in the first trial with Hannah everything was pretty fair. Because she is a nobody. No reason to cheat. All of a sudden with Baldwin's trial, they pull all these shenanigans.
Also, big props to Erlinda Johnson for withdrawing from the case and subsequent interview. We need more like her ❤
Amen! I agree 💯. She has proven herself to be a woman of courage, conviction, and integrity! We will all be known by our actions and she is a hero in my book. Hope Morrisey learns a lesson from her counterpart and changes her ways, because she has also been shown by her actions.
@@russianxcoiladventures9477 She came on late in the case to replace the other guy because he was busy with another case. She had nothing to do with this evidence. She left because she knew it was over and didn't want to stick around.
😢She was on board for prosecuting Alec Baldwin until she saw how shady the prosecutor was. Which is good, but how she trusted this liar of prosecutor makes me question her intuition, so her judgment is called into question.
I would love to have this judge on something like the Karen Reed case. No nonsense ,call it as she sees it, morally obligated, right wrong or indifferent,all in the name of Justice
Exactly
@jessicatriebsch5252 can't we have one video without the Saint Karwn Read /Turdboy propoganda. Please. Enough already
Thats a cynical response. I also wish KR had an ethical judge. would no doubt have had a mistrial by now.Also your put down of TB.He may have been over zealous but only because the state has been appalling and law enforcement corrupt law@@oiooi6460
@@oiooi6460did you watch the Karen Read case?? The evidence was completely in her favor and entirely against the prosecution!
The solid science is the bottom line that opinions, feelings, ideas, hunches, and even what our own perceptions may otherwise tell us!
@LisaPFrampton I did, and it wasn't. But this case was about the tragic death of Ms Hutchens. Nothing to do with Karen Read. I'm sick of her propagandists infecting every discussion. Have some respect for the people involved in this case, for goodness sake
Man… it’s insane how much incompetence/corruption has seemingly been exposed these past few months with all of these high profile trials. It’s disappointing, and disheartening to think how often this stuff happens. Hopefully this type of exposure will start righting some wrongs.
That’s why it’s so important to have cameras in courtrooms whether it’s a high profile case or not
Bullets not even from the crime scene that were a different size. What a sham trial. Any of us would have been convicted.
NO incompetence. ALL corruption. The deputies in this case were barely over a 5th grade education--Sheriff needs to step down. Morrissey needs to be charged with at least perjury, and fired, and Poppel and fat-lips Hancock need to lose their jobs as well, AND be prosecuted. Can conspiracy be charged for this?
I was just thinking this earlier. It's sad and terrifying. The only reason most of this is exposed is because of cameras and the Internet. This judge is great! And I'm glad she is taking control of this trial.
Probably worth reconsidering the death penalty in many states.
I have so much respect for this judge and Ms Johnson.
She would have flipped out had she been the judge for Karen Read. I don't think she would have accepted inverted Salleyport Videos!
She reminds me of the Murdaugh judge. Calm, cool, likable and fair.
Johnson was great. Misfortunate collision with Morrissey in her professional path
She is the anti-Bev. 😊
If the ammo came from Kenny, so what? WHAT DOES IT CHANGE? Reed loaded the gun. Baldwin fired it negligently. There are MILLIONS of 45 Colt hand loads in Starline casings all over the South West. Most people are very gun naive & ignorant. The ammo is a distraction for the childish public. Was it tested?!? Does it match the other ammo?!? THINK! Please! THINK!!!!!!!! A woman is DEAD. Baldwin killed her & was complaining about his vacation plans two hours later! Wake up!!!
There was a murder that happened in Alaska in the 1980’s. A woman killed her boyfriend by hacking him into pieces and likely putting him in a crab pot. They never found a body and the girl moved to Chicago and became a woman. In the 2010’s the house they lived in was remodeled and during the remodel massive amounts of dried blood was found between the flooring and the subfloor. The Alaska Troopers cold case unit came out and tested 30 year old blood and got a match based on science that didn’t exist in the 1980’s. They flew to Chicago and arrested the woman who was in her 50’s and happily married with children and she is now serving a life sentence. All of this is to say evidence can come in decades later and if properly tested it can make a case that was dead for 30 years.
I applaud this judge for paying attention and being on top of things.
The only thing missing in this trial was Morrissey declaring on the stand was " You can't handle the truth" 😂
😂😂😂
Good one😅😅😅⚖️
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I watched this happening live and was losing my mind. The prosecution was so convincing that the bullets didn't match and were irrelevant and the Judge comes in and is like, "I'll see about that." And when some of the bullets did match!! 😱💀 I was screaming watching that Judge go from zero to a hundred on the rage scale.
OMG same!!! I feel angry that they lied to us and I believed it for a day. What a 💩 show.
What a circus!
I know, right?! I couldn't believe that Morrissey would not just own this whole situation. She just kept trying to blame others. So unprofessional. 😶
Same here !!!! I couldn’t believe what the heck I was hearing and seeing ?! Unreal !!
Because you were unavailable yesterday, I watched other attorneys react/explain this. I'm not kissing ass when I tell you how good you are! So much more important stuff they missed or left out that you get to in a short time. I could go on and on. I'm so glad I found you! I started watching you during KR. Thanks for working so hard to make us average people smarter about the law! ❤️✌️
I have such a deep admiration & respect for people who stand up for what they believe is the right & just thing to do. I teared up a little bit when you read that superchat that you've inspired someone to return to law school at 32. You are such a positive, upbeat & interesting person and the way you share your knowledge & expertise about the law, I believe has a positive far reaching impact on so many of us- even in our regular daily lives. Keep up the amazing work Peter! I could see you as a law school professor or in a university one day!
Mad respect for Peter and all ethical upstanding lawyers working hard in the name of justice- we appreciate you!
Amen!! Morality/integrity in all would make the world a better place, but one of the places I most need to know it exists is in our justice system. I admire this judge and the prosecutor who resigned over ethical convictions! I hope the crooked learn a lesson from their virtue. Also, if I ever needed a lawyer, I'd hope and pray to get someone of Peter's upstanding character. Whether one is a defendant or a victim, we all need honest lawyers, csi, judges, LE, jurors, etc in order for the system to earn the title of a "Justice" system.
as a former prosecutor, I view Morrisey's conduct as absolutely reprehensible. This was clearly Brady material that should have been turned over
no.
It seems like she really wanted to win
@@rickfisher1796she played dirty and bit the dust. Lock her up too.
@@geebee3100yes
Her ego was entertaining- she was a fierce prosecutor,played games well (I thought until that certain point), was annoying yet I was cheering her on Thursday. Then I still tried to look at her point of view even though I believed she had acted wrongly, and believed Baldwin should have the dismissal w/prejudice. THEN she took the stand and, oh hell no. The arrogance was disgusting. I am really upset AB will never have a criminal trial over his arrogance, I would have loved to watch a well presented trial. I plan on “Amber Heard’ing” every project he takes on from here on out. Cancel.
I love the judge in this trial, she was so good on Friday, when she put on gloves and inspected evidence, it brought a tear to my eye, I'm glad to see the prosecutor go from Queen of the court to a laughingstock,
Agreed. She’s a great judge and should probably get an appointment to the next higher court. Morrissey needs to go back to the PDs office.
@@Katherinedawn25 it wasn't a "technicality" that's not the correct word to use. It was malfeasance and bad faith by the prosecutor, lead investigator and crime scene technician. Hiding evidence from defense. I was applauding the judge for doing her job. Blame the shady Prosecutor for Alec going free if you need someone to get mad at. It wasn't a technicality, it was illegal corruption.
@@Katherinedawn25 pretty complicated way to murder someone. Manipulating dozens of people and props, doing it in front of a lot of cameras and witnesses. He must have REALLY hated this woman to conjure up such a plan. And to do it personally, that's ballsy. Must have had a strong motive to get aways with such a crime.
Lawyer here. Love your broadcast. Morrisey is either incompetent in believing the evidence wasn’t relevant, and/or has an ethical blind spot and was too personally invested for her own gain. Either way, the Judge is the real heroine here. She saw it and shut it down immediately
Thanks for your analysis. I couldn't believe the behavior of this Prosecutor. She tried to run the courtroom. Wouldn't object properly and led the witnesses to the point of her testifying. Crazy. Love your tie dye shirt. 😎
This is corruption from LE and prosecutor. The question is how many people have lost their rights because they didn't have the money for good lawyers.
Or they get bought to throw the case!
This is what worries me the most in our justice system(s).
@@bjferry7192 The Innocence Project is very busy, and that tells us something. It happens a lot. It happens in small ways, too. When I was 17, I was caught going 15 over the speed limit. The cop wrote it as 30 over and gave me a reckless driving ticket. I was fortunate - my parents could hire me a lawyer.
That’s always the question. I read a statistic that over 30% of inmates were either wrongly convicted or charged with more serious offenses than warranted. And no they don’t have fancy lawyers to help them.
Look at the Karen Read case - the level of corruption etc are insane and terrifying. Kari got smacked down so hard by this judge - beautiful. See what a real judge looks like Aunt Bev?!
Awesome end to this trial! Shut that woman down and exposed her ethics, which are on par with her demeanor! She went down yapping!! Glad judge stepped up and co-counsel stepped out. Very exciting day!
"She went down yapping!!" to the very end. Nailed it.
This woman's idol is Hillary Clinton. Sorry to bring politics into it but I was astounded by the connection, both are just as loathsome, resemble each other, and have the same politics.
These are so easy to watch, Peter is really charismatic but beyond that he does the work to condense everything, I love these recaps, I used to listen to trialstreams at work but there's just so much going on and so much downtime, love putting on a stream replay on my drive home or sometimes it live depending on what time we finish. Really impressed with the coverage and the streams with his dad. Extremely knowledgeable and honest people.
Edit: Like normally I can't stand watching anything trial related at regular speed but I caught this live so in realtime and it was great
They are the best! Yesterday I was like, I hope Peter doesn't tear himself away from whatever life stuff he's doing to react to this, but I also can't wait to hear his explanation!
Peter is the best!
The only thing I don't like about surfing up the trial feed is that sometimes I have to slow it down to understand some attorneys and when I do Peter is to slow lol still it's better than watching 8 hours at regular speed.😂
I agree about listening to the trials at regular speed. It definitely helps that Peter usually plays the videos at 1.25x, and he speaks at 1.5x! 🙌🙌😅
Peter, my perception completely changed as well. I'm actually shocked at how much my personal perception changed, watching this video.
There are so few people of integrity in our world today. It’s really hard to find good people
I am a mental health counselor. I’ve worked with kids in schools for years. ABs lawyer is like the kid that annoys the teachers, but I can’t help but love him!!!!!

Lmao. Totally!!!
I love him. He is not as smooth, and he doesn't have that cool factor like Jackson does, but there is something sweet about him. And he came accros as respectful, especially by comparison with Morrisey he is an angel.
He’s a drama queen, but luckily he has a partner that can reign him in when needed lol

@@sawyerandsand6486 thank you
To see this case, get dismissed while Karen Read’s case is not is absolutely mind blowing. This judge is obviously fair and not corrupt. And not in bed with the whole prosecution side, including Auntie to many of the witnesses/third-party culprits.
This type of corruption happens all the time in our criminal justice system. I'm just glad more people are seeing and understanding now.
🎉🎉🎉 wow, Mrs Johnson is INCREDIBLY refreshing and genuine. I hope more people emulate her morals, standards and obligations
I could not agree with you more! It is indeed so refreshing to see her integrity! We have seen a lack of same integrity in her co-counsel and in several investigations, judges, lawyers lately and it should frighten us all. These examples of integrity and those who show a lack of it should continue to be shown in hopes of making the system one worthy of the name "justice" system.
@@CMpuffin exactly! One of the many benefits of trial coverage being accessible on UA-cam.
Peter you are simply the best! I have mentioned LYK to so many following Karen Reed. Many who understand "lawyering" from a MA 🙄 perspective. You are #1 Class Act
It's really interesting to see how differently evidence hiding/missing evidence is handled in the Karen Read trial and Alec Baldwin trial.
It's also VERY frustrating to see that there's hidden or missing evidence in two back to back trials. It's scary to think that this happens.
A lot of stuff happens. Cameras are allowing the public to find out, though. This county won't be perfect, but they'll change some practices.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Karen should've never been brought up on charges and when the scientists proved that John was not hit or killed by a car the case should've been dismissed right there. There was simply zero solid evidence to put any blame on Karen whatsoever.
In this case Alec's constitutional rights were also infringed upon and it was the right thing to do to dismiss it.
It's such a tragedy to have that man walk free from such a terrible and horrible tragedy that happened at his very own hands and pay zero responsibility for it.
But, if they'd gone on with this trial and he'd been charged it would've been unconstitutional and he would've been exonerated at a later time anyway.
WoW!! Speechless! How true even more now then ever....lawyers maintain top notch ethics and moral standards and always do what is right.. Hats off to our "Lawyer You know"...Peter~ maintaining such standards. That's why he has the opportunity to speak on that very subject. Congrats Peter....you are so appreciated.
Leave it to a Hollywood star to have such a dramatic trial!
Him being a celebrity is why this happened. The prosecutor saw a huge chance to have camera time and promote her firm and stooped to any level to win.
I’m so happy to follow along on these cases with professionals that know better. I’ve learned with Peter and EDB for years now and I’ve learned more about law and trials than I could have imagined. I think many people don’t realize how relevant this all is to everyone in the country. We need to know as much as possible! Thanks for all you do Peter!
I agree! While it's been scary and disheartening to see some of the shady, biased, unethical things we've seen in trials, it's necessary in order to turn things around and make it truly about fairness and justice. Peter has caused me to see that these cases and ethical issues affect us ALL and we should all want to ensure true justice for all is the rule not a whim.
Bravo for this Judge. Wish she was on the Karen Read Trial!
really? what if, there too, she's be on the side of entitlement? 🙃
Agree she is a great judge
Agree. Judge Mary Marlowe Summer is a hero. Judge Bev does not have an ounce of what judge Summer is made of.
@@geebee3100where is the entitlement? Rather Truth, if this hadn't happened it would have gone forward as it should.

@@brendasmart553 1000% agree. It can be extremely lonely. People generally want things to be easy..and sticking to your beliefs can make things damn hard
I disagree. Ethics have nothing to do with the prosecutor getting top comfortable with the evidence. It does not make her a bad person because all she wanted to do is to get justice for Halyna.
The fact that the live round bullet turned in to the sheriff’s office was a match to the dummy ammo proves to me that they could have thought the live round was dummy ammo on set
Exactly, if they needed the FBI to differentiate the lives from the dummies, then how was Alec supposed to know the difference even if he had checked? He’s not a trained armorer!
Norfolk county MA could use this judge. Decisive, love it
Peter, watching late, but absolutely appreciative your ethics and perspective. The prosecutors behavior was not okay and an example of what a power trip looks like. Kudos to Ms. Johnson for standing up for ethical behavior!!
It's scary how corrupt some people can be. This lady should never be allowed to practice law ever again.

I got lost in all the snips on YT about the dismissal. I have been waiting for LYK to do an in depth review. Thank you.
Lol I was completely last since I haven't been following this case at all. Wasn't really interested. But then I saw it was dismissed and I had to go figure out WHY. A lot of channels were talking about it with the assumption the viewers would know who all these names are & how they're involved & I couldn't figure it out. I ended up watching a 6 hour stream from DUI Guy (he was in the court room but his girlfriend was running the stream & reporting on his tweets live) but was able to get a better understanding of what happened & why the defense was requesting a mistrial. Just finished that (watched some last night) & here for Peter's take.
Yes I feel the same way. At first I didn’t like the defense attorney and I was rolling my eyes. After seeing all of this, I’m very impressed and glad that it turned out that way because someone had a conscience!! I wish KR had such a blessing
My brain is exploding, I missed all this yesterday and only heard late last night it was dismissed. So I'm catching up and its mind blowing.
We never did get back around to Morrissey signaling the witnesses, did we? 😅
That was so obvious hahah😂
Hah, yep. She'll get disbarred anyway, I'm sure
Correct 😅
This is what I’m saying. Glad we got all this covered and all but can we see footage of her signaling the witnesses.
No we didn’t. It may come up later though when Baldwin sues for unlawful prosecution.
There’s so so much to say on this trial, but the thing that is sticking out to me with watching this is how amazingly engaged the judge is. She isn’t missing a BEAT!
This judge is CRAZY! Which makes me LOVE HER ASS!
I absolutely love this judge!!;) she is the most FAIR judge that I have saw in a trial in a long time🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@@mymai5859yesss🎉🎉
Thanks for covering this, Peter! I was amazed when this came to be yesterday. I recently had my own case and having fear of the unknown, was given advice from my attorney, “just tell the truth”. So simple to do and I wish Kari had just done that. The fact that she would is a defense attorney makes it even worse!
And Kudos to the special prosecutor that quit! That gave me more faith in the American justice system than anything I’ve seen in recent history.
Me, too!!! And, after some of the shady stuff I've seen lately (this, KR, and YSL just to name a few), I really needed to see the integrity and courage I saw in the prosecutor who resigned over this unethical spectacle and this unbiased, fair judge!
IF I were a prosecutor I would always lean into the thought that 'if it is even remotely possible that it could be evidence, then it's going in the file', better to err into too much than not having everything.
Which is why I am giving side eye to the LE and prosecutors in the IDAHO 4 , and the Delphi investigations! If they have all the evidence- hand it ALL over and get on with it! I am going to need ACTUAL EVIDENCE to convince me from now on! My eyes have been opened and LE is SUSPECT until they prove it to me with admissible, irrefutable evidence that they are telling the truth I will never trust them again! FREE KAREN REED!
Morrissey lied o the stand about the reason the other prosecutor quit. I saw her interviewed and she said she quit over this disclosure issue.
I LOVE listening to you explain all these things. I was so happy when I turned on my computer and saw you had a video about this!
It’s very disheartening that the prosecution would purposely hide evidence to argue their case. From the public’s perspective it’s very shady and makes one give pause to the judicial process and that is VERY unfortunate. She should be cited to prove to the public that the whole process is not morally corrupt.
I’m glad she didn’t drop the charges and instead forced the dismissal, “with prejudice!”
Yay!! 😀
I was waiting for your video on this! Thank you so much for your input as an attorney. I was watching bits and pieces yesterday and couldn't BELIEVE what I was hearing.
This is such an excellent break down of what happened that I’m subscribing! Thank you

I love law tube and watch more channels than I care to admit to - but your background as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney really brings the richest commentary of everyone imho. Fav channel
A LOT of criminal defense attorneys were former prosecutors...including among the other law tubers like Nate the Lawyer..
But you are correct that this channel is one of the best of them!
@@p0llk4t07 I didn’t realize that! Thanks!!

I couldn’t wait for Peter’s analysis! It was like watching the Hindenburg go down, but I wasn’t sure I believed what I saw until Peter commented! Thanks!
Thanks for giving so much time to this. It is important to know the details and context.
This would have been a day to sit in court! I would have been sad as a juror to watch this after dismissal and not be able to have watched it live lol
If I were a juror and was sent home I don't know that I could have stayed off you -tube to see what was happening.
Some of the trials we’ve seen really make me nervous in so many ways. If I’m in any way involved in a situation yielding legal remedy, I seriously cannot trust the “system” to do the right things. In this case if there was no “rat” how would the defense know?? And Kari’s hostile personality does no favors in any case.
53:58 you are misunderstanding. HGR’s defense team knew about the Teske ammo, and originally was going to call him as a witness re: the ammo. during trial, they decided to forego using Teske and his ammo at trial. HGR case rested and went to the jury. THEN Teske brought this to law enforcement while presentation of evidence in HGR’s case was done and closed. the BWC footage, logging/storage of the Teske ammo, and the supplemental report all happened after the close of evidence in HGR’s case and after HGR had an opportunity to present the Teske ammo and Teske’s testimony but chose not to.
conversely, ALL of this happened while AB’s case was pending and months before it went to trial.
no Brady issue for HGR, definite Brady issue for AB.
that’s the distinction.
I would disagree. The evidence was deemed by the judge to be impeachment evidence. It could be used in a sabotage defense, which could affect the verdict and sentencing of HGR. Add into that the obvious corruption of the investigator and prosecutor, and I think they have a good case for a retrial at the least.
Agree 💯
Failure to disclose 2 of the 3 Haig reports is definitely a Brady violation in Hannah’s case, though. That could be a big deal for appeal.
The only person saying HGR's defense didn't want to use Teske or his evidence is Morrissey, whom we know is a liar. In the bodycam footage, Teske never says Bowles didn't want to use the ammo. His wife, on the other hand, makes a statement about "they didn't want to use it" as she was cutting him off. It's unclear whether she was referring to HGR's defense turning it away or the state turning it away.
Plus, after she says that, Teske tells her "its my story;" he, being involved with Thell Reed, HGR, and Seth Kenney, knows more about what went on with all this than she does. He's the witness, not her.
Please tell me where Bowles turned Teske away? It doesn't make sense that he would have knowing what I know so far.
@@isuckatguitar12 did you not listen to anything teske said? it was public knowledge teske was on the defense witness list for the HGR trial. that’s not in dispute. HGR defense never actually called him as a witness. that’s not in dispute. teske went to the SFSO on the day the defense rested their case and the case was given to the jurors for deliberation.
teske says on the body cam that he was supposed to be called as a witness and was told to bring those rounds. he says they didn’t ultimately call him to the stand, so he didn’t want to continue holding onto the rounds.
the “they” who ended up not actually calling him to the stand couldn’t have been the prosecution. he was not on the prosecution witness list, but WAS on the defense witness list. the prosecution also rested their case 2 days prior on March 4.
there was never any dispute that Bowles had initially planned to call him, but changed his mind.
Thank you Peter- you are always informative. Watching this judge take control of this case and the court room was impressive. Makes the Karen Read case the greatest side-show on earth. So much prosecutorial and LE misconduct but Bev never batted an eye!
Peter, thanks!
I have used your enlightening analysis in discussions about trial with friends & family.
Peter, can you not put up the big comments on screen when you’re showing testimony in court? It covers up the closed captions making it hard to follow along. Or move the screen up a bit? Love your analysis!
I never thought he should be tried. It’s not the actors job to check equipment on the set. He’s given the props. The end.
Yeah, what if an actor is told to run, grab a pipe, and hit the monster pursuing them, but the foam pipe wasn’t replaced with a real one so they wind up hitting the other’s scull? When things are moving that fast they wouldn’t have time in that split second to realize it’s more solid than it’s supposed to be, they’re in the moment and doing what they’re supposed to do! (Then everyone tracks down who was assigned to set the prop pipe and tear them a new one for not doing their job.)
Agree 💯 %
Hard disagree, he was not shooting a scene he was doing blocking. There was no reason to pull the trigger, also he was using a replica instead of a prop gun at his request. When using a replica you have to treat it like a real gun. He was reckless.
@TheKhaliente Hard disagree with you. Alec was still an actor in a scene doing blocking or not. He was NOT a civilian in public wild with a gun. Actors are allowed to go through their motions even in blocking. Unless he was told specifically NOT to pull the trigger, it is logical for a scene he would do that if he was handed a gun.
I am a part-time actor & know nothing about guns. If I was handed a gun, I have full expectation that the armourer & safety officer are handing me a gun with blanks.
If I pulled the trigger & killed someone , would I be charged like Alec?
If I get given an antique real switch & box to ignite prop dynamite on a bridge, but it turns out to be real dynamite that kills someone - am I at fault as I had full expectation the dynamite was fake?
Whoever brought live ammo on to the set, plus whoever loaded a film set gun with live ammo is at fault.
Hannah was at fault, so was disgusting Seth Kenney. Seth was never charged as he should have been. Instead, Seth manipulated the investigation & set up Hannah to take the fall alone.
He pointed the gun at the victim and pulled the trigger. Thats why he was being charged, not because he didn’t check the gun.
Tesky said in his interview with/ Poppell he was a “former police officer and a judge.” At that moment I would have received this evidence w/ ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY.
I absolutely love that judge!! The most fair judge that I have watched in a trial in a long time 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations Alec Baldwin 👏 ❤️ 😊. Not everyone hates you ❤😊
THIS IS WHAT A JUDGE SHOULD DO,IF YOU'RE NOT BIAS,BEV!!!!?
This judge treated the prosecution as they deserved. She was over their games and pulling the wool over peoples eyes. This is how judge Bev spoke to the defense on the KR case without warrant.
This judge is honorable and did the right thing for justice. ❤
Stuck with you for the whole video. It was very eye opening, and I thank you for breaking it down like you did. I have the utmost respect for those involved in this case that stood for their ethics and morals.
That prosecutor acted like she ran the show! When she testified, she answered questions in a rude way, always repeating that the ammo never left AZ, so it was not real evidence!
And drove her points home with her glasses.
Peter, you are a pleasure to listen to! You’re so great!
ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT JUSTICE HAPPEN...THANK GOD ❤
Great recap!! I watched the whole thing. Learned so much and appreciate you take the time to explain it all. Kudos to the judge. On her game.
Ethical, is what you do when no one is watching!
MORRISEY LIED IN STAND!! AS To WHY THE OTHER PROSECUTOR LEFT!!
She sure did.
Hats off to this assistant prosecutor.
Regardless of what prosecuting attorney 'thinks' - she chose not to turn over potential evidence-not her choice to make. Period.
Spent 20 minutes on google trying to find your shirt before I realized it was your own merch. I love it❤
I am SO here for this replay!!!
Is the name Morresey cursed to be only for people who love corruption 😆😫 also, this judge is AMAZING! What a great example of how the rule of law should be followed in our country. She gives me hope for this crappy system that has become so corrupt over the last few decades 😮💨❤️
I could listen to you all day.😊
I’m sure his wife and kids would disagree lol
KM's posture during the judge's reading and ruling is unsettling. She looks way too cocky.
It was cool to hear Johnson say the same stuff you mention in so many or your videos. Sometimes it sounds a little idealistic but it's nice to see others following it and doing what is right!
Thank you for the extra long video to go through everything with us
And thank you Peter for breaking this down! I love your analysis’ of these cases! I also think that is so refreshing that the Judge shows she is ethical and although she tried to keep this case going forward she did the right thing setting the example of how we need to handle cases fairly and transparently to ensure we all have a fair trial!
I am a talkative person, and I was left speechless! The judge and Johnson did what was right, and I applaud their decisions!!
Related to the nursing analogy that was a live question: in Canada, it is part of nursing duties to NOT inject or administer anything we didn’t prepare ourselves. A nurse would get in big trouble for giving a patient something that was prepared by someone else 🙂
Police officers who have been dishonest are sometimes referred to as "Brady cops". Because of the Brady ruling, prosecutors are required to notify defendants and their attorneys whenever a law enforcement official involved in their case has a confirmed record of knowingly lying in an official capacity.
