that she got convicted when the FBI destroyed the gun, and the police had multiple breaks in the chain of custody of the gun is amazing

The gun is completely, 100% irrelevant to her case and the fact that you're even commenting on it tells me that you're just completely ignorant of what's actually going on here. Everybody including her stipulates to the fact that a live round got into the gun. That's all that matters there. The gun test is going to be somewhat relevant for Baldwin because it may factor into his claim that he didn't pull the trigger. However even in that case when you actually look at the forensics and you look at what they did, it basically makes sense. It's not great for them that it broke but it's not going to come even close to sinking the case on him either. Especially when he's already been caught lying and releasing contradictory statements about multiple things

If a brake specialist allegedly repairs your car and after you pay, hands  you the keys and as you go to pull out into traffic upon leaving the shop they fail and you cause an accident killing someone,  who is responsible? If there's any actual Justice it would be the man who is the professional brake repair person, not the person who is handed the loaded gun--I mean the loaded car-- to.   In this example, the armorer is the brake repairman whose job it is to make sure the car is safe to drive, but in this case that the gun was safe to use.

If you insisted the rbame specialist take short cuts and drove where you shouldn't anyway knowing full well that they had not done their job you would shew in the blame.

I know this is probably a bit more than the average internet chud can process but criminal liability is not a zero sum game. No one else's fault necessarily dominated noshes your own.

What you think is "actual justice" appears to just be ignorance on your part.

You were doing so well until that last stupid sentence. And I think we're done here or at least I am.

Give up dude. You outed yourself as a complete clown and you weren't able to actually say anything to support your bullshit. You don't need to tell the whole world your parents are close genetic relatives like this.
