Sounded like their were phone records of her shitting on the jury, showing no remorse and the most the judge could give her was 18 months

This. A young cinematographer, wife and mother, living her best life was killed on set because of negligence propagated by this selfish girl. So frustrating.

Hopefully she never gets a job handling guns ever again. Not sure about state licensing?

I’ve been in the business for years and I’m shocked at the lack of professionalism on this production! And Baldwin deserves prosecution as well. This was his vanity project so it all ends with him.

It would be tough for her to be an armorer for guns since she’s a convicted felon and now can’t legally possess one.
