Why do they keep going after Baldwin? He hired someone who was the daughter of a famous prop master, who was supposed to know what she was doing. She’s the one that put the live bullets in the gun. Baldwin didn’t know. He thought they were blanks because that’s what they were supposed to be.

The prosecutor is a MAGA Republican type, and they hate Baldwin for being a liberal, basically. Unfortunately they're also incompetent and they got caught intentionally withholding evidence in the previous trial.
