## Transcript

By all accounts from the folks who knew her and work with her and many of those you will be hearing from she was a gifted and talented artist, but above all she was a loving wife and mother these Witnesses are going to describe the defendant's conduct is unprofessional and sloppy. You will hear testimony that she routinely left guns and ammunition lying around the set unattended. Ultimately you're going to hear from us that there were not just these two but a total of six live bullets that were found on the set, but that by failing to make those vital safety checks the defendant acted and acted negligently and without due caution and the decisions she made that day ultimately contributed to Miss Hutchins death.

We found a photograph where there was one occasion for a live round was sitting right on this with Terraces laugh and she failed to identify it. That gives you an idea of what was going on that morning Alec Baldwin the sitting on a church pew and he was practicing this draw from his holster with the camera crew kind of close up on top of them and what they tried to do and what's you're seeing in this courtroom today is trying to blame it all on Hannah. The 24 year-old because why because she's an easy target. She's the least powerful person on that said when the state talks about Miss Gutierrez read being negligent.

What really happened is production was negligent production put her in that position. They put her in the position of having two jobs a process assistant and an armor and expected a 24 year old under really tough conditions to keep up with everything that was going on. You're going to hear from OSHA. They rushed production didn't hear to several safety. Rules that they have to adhere to Onset. That's why they were find the given the largest fine in the history of New Mexico.
