I spoke with Yahoo! News about the Alec Baldwin trial which begins tomorrow in New Mexico.
Four months after armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to prison, Baldwin now faces the same judge, same charge and a new jury.
I expect lot of evidence to be the same as the Gutierrez-Reed trial surrounding the events that led up to Hutchins's death. But there will be new evidence that pertains to Baldwin.
As a result, the judge will already be familiar with much of the facts but has to start completely from scratch to evaluate the evidence in making rulings on motions and objection. The prosecution needs to prove that it was not all the fault of Gutierrez-Reed. The problem is that Gutierrez-Reed has been found guilty already, so jurors may be confused about whether Baldwin can be guilty too.
