I've read this whole article and I still don't understand why the ammo is important?
Yeah, it is bad that the prosecution did not disclose it, but it was a manilla envelope of loose rounds handed over by a friend of the father of the armourer, who has already been convicted of manslaughter. I can see why they would deem it not to be relevant evidence.
How could it possibly help the defence (other than this exact situation where it got the case thrown out)?
Also why would it not just be a mistrial, rather than the case being thrown out to never be tried again?
Because Hollywood elites... someone paid off the prosecutor and the case gets tossed.
You're getting downvoted, but one does have to ask why a prosecuter would do something like this knowing it would get the case thrown out.
Considering how weak a lot of gun charges are to minorities, who then spend decades in jail for bullshit, yea this smells like someone got paid.
