Day 3 - firearm nvestigators testimony in the manslaughter trial of Hanna Gutierrez
Day 4 - State firearm expert testimony
Apart from the defense being absolutely unprepared & incompetent, the state's witnesses have been pretty good. The FBI did some destructive testing of the evidence pistol, but the state was able to replace those parts and found damage to the internals beyond what the FBI inflicted; namely to the hammer full-cock sear, so that the hammer wouldn't remain cocked; upon release it would immediately drop and be caught at the safety/halfcock notch, and that it absolutely wouldn't have fired without a trigger pull.
But besides all that, shocked pikachu face that several other unintentional discharges happened & someone ultimately got shot, after listening to how tore up that production was.
Gutierrez is also up for evidence tampering, because someone saw her hand off a small bag of white powder to another crew member, before cops arrived. And the search of her phone records revealed she tried to get it back.
