New Mexico judge agrees charges should be dropped after lawyers said state ‘buried’ evidence about live ammunition

23 points

A witness confirmed to the judge on Friday afternoon that a special prosecutor in the case, Kari Morrissey, was directly involved in the decision to file the evidence in an entirely different case file separate from the other Rust materials.

That seems pretty damning to the Prosecutions case. I can see why it was dismissed, it looks like they were hiding evidence.

At the very least shows that the police were incompetent and none of the evidence against him should be trusted

It was mentioned earlier around here: no one at that level in the legal profession, much less anyone in their entire firm, would make such an outlandish and imbecilic mistake as to hide evidence that would further secure a decision in their favor. Not without pressure or payment or both.
