Baldwin may have connections, but as this is going to be a jury trial those connections mean nothing.

I strongly doubt it'll go to trial.

I believe there will be a plea bargain.

He did offer one certainty: This case will not be settled out of court.

“This case is going to trial,” he said, citing the level of Baldwin’s celebrity, coupled with the social media attention and sheer uniqueness of what happened on set.

This from the Fox article made me chuckle-

“If you know exactly where the defendant is, and he’s not generally a threat to society, then the defendant can be free on their own recognizance.”

He’s not “generally” a threat…

He should've taken a deal already. He might have been able to get away with just probation. I think letting it go to trial will result in some amount of time behind bars at least.

However, investigators found that the live ammunition seized from the PDQ Arms and Prop business "did not match" the live ammunition found on the set of "Rust."

"These rounds were submitted to the FBI for comparison with the suspected live rounds found at the shooting scene," the documents said. "The ‘explosives chemistry’ examination of the rounds showed that the smokeless powder in the live rounds found at the scene did not match the live rounds seized from the props/arms supplier in question. This means the live rounds on ‘Rust’ did not match the rounds explosive chemistry taken from PDQ Arms and Prop."

Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer claimed the district attorney "completely misunderstood" the facts of the case in a statement to Fox News Digital:

"The filed probable cause statement reveals that the district attorney has completely misunderstood the facts and has reached the wrong conclusions. Hannah pleaded to provide more firearms training. She was denied and brushed aside. Hannah asked to be able to perform her armorer duties more for safety reasons. She was told by production to focus on props. Hannah asked Halls if they could use a plastic gun for the rehearsal scene, and he said no, wanting a ‘real gun.’

"Hannah asked to be called back into the church if Baldwin was going to use the gun at all, and Halls failed to do that. Yet the district attorney has given Halls a 6-month probation misdemeanor and charged Hannah and Baldwin with felony offenses carrying at least 5 years in prison.

"The tragedy of this is had Hannah just been called back into the church by Halls, she would have performed the inspection and prevented this tragedy," the statement continued. "We will fight these charges and expect that a jury will find Hannah not guilty."
