OK, so this is a “technical” argument rather than what actually will be used in the trial. In the Gutierrez-Reed trial, the prosecutor presented an expert witness to testify what the industry standards are and why those standards were not being followed in _Rust_ and directly linked that as evidence of Gutierrez-Reed guilt.

As they didn’t use your arguments, then that debate seems more of a theoretical GD discussion.

As someone who got sucked into the armorer’s trial, and will likely follow Baldwin’s trial, I’ll stick to the issues relevant to this case.
