Police investigator Marissa Poppell testified she had been instructed by her superiors to create a report documenting that police had received ammunition and to file it under a different case number than the “Rust” case. In other words, it wouldn’t be visible to the defense.
Live ammunition on the set is a critical part of the case and could have helped Baldwin argue those around him were responsible for loose safety standards.
