The manslaughter trial against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has been dismissed. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case over how police and prosecutors treated a handful of bullets, which they failed to turn over to the defence.

“The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” Judge Sommer said. “Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.” The dismissal came as a surprise as gasps were said to be heard in the courtroom and Baldwin was congratulated by his family and supporters.

      I think that’s the guy that shit on Wendigoon, right? That’s kinda like calling out Steve Irwin or saying LeVar Burton was useless.

        Wendigoon does a great job of keeping all of his personal opinions out of the channel and I commend him for that. He’s literally the first conservative christian I can watch where that’s the case.

        Very bizarre. I didn’t watch the 3 hour video because it was a 3 hour video. But, it seems like a very uncharacteristic rant of his, compared to all of his previous videos. Hell, even the latest one, which is the one I linked, is just showcasing all of the sheer number of preventable and careless movie accidents, and is very well put together. The comments were completely different to what you see now.

        I see too many of these expose videos popping up on a weekly basis. Whose next? Babish? Civvie 11? Day 9?

        At this rate, we’re not going to have any YouTubers left to watch.
