NEVER. EVER.

Even the prosecutor said that when Gutierrez-Reed arrived on set, the camera department had walked off the job leaving over 3 hours of "down time". More than enough time to check the dummy rounds, secure them until needed. She failed to do that.

We have also gone over the protocol. She was supposed to take each round from a box labeled "dummy rounds" (not loose rounds from a fanny pack) and shake them in front of cast and crew, listening for the BB, and then loading them into the gun one by one. She failed to do that.

If AB had opened the action of the gun after she handed it to him, that would have interrupted the "chain of custody" and he could (and maybe still will) be responsible for Hutchins' death.
