From the linked article:

Jason Bowles, Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer, said on Tuesday that the prosecution has mishandled the case.

'The case is so weak that they now have chosen to resort to character assassination claims about Hannah,' he told the Associated Press.

Over the course of my career, I saw (and heard all about) a number of rather serious industrial accidents. Even some fatalities. I even testified in a few cases arising from these accidents. In not a single case that I am aware of were the actions of the involved parties on the night before the accident investigated.

I have to agree with Bowles. This is an act of desperation on the part of the prosecutor, indicating he has a very weak case. Let's keep a couple of things in mind:

) Gutierrez-Reed was away at lunch when this incident occurred.

) The gun went through two other sets of hands - the assistant director's and Baldwin's - before the shot was fired. Neither checked the gun. She was twice removed from possession of this firearm.
