Erlinda Ocampo Johnson was appointed a special prosecutor in the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin in April. Last Friday, after Baldwin’s defense team revealed the prosecution had failed to disclose the existence of live rounds to them, Johnson resigned. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy talked with Johnson about the discovery violation and her thoughts on the case against Baldwin in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

WTH?
Baldwin foolishly, sloppily, unprofessionally, irresponsibly and without regret killed the film’s cinematographer while fooling around with the unchecked gun and while ignoring direction because, well, he was the STAR!
And the State threw the whole case away…
I understand he and his familialy are embarking on a new reality show. Isn’t that wonderful for the Baldwins! Ms. Habba’s future plans are unknown..
Am I supposed to believe that justice has been served 21st Century style?
In many people's opinions the remaining procecuter didn't screw up. She did exactly what she was paid to do, along with others on this case! Thank Goodness that Johnson has morals.
it goes to show, if you want to do what you want and get away with it, just go and become a leftist bad actor, by the look on that womans face telling about why the DA resigned , MS Johnson didn't agree to being paid not to turn in evidence, so she got out. (my opinion only nothing more) are maybe the DA wouldnt go along with kari getting paid and left.
Unicorns do exist 😮
GET USED TO IT LADY!!!!!! Walk in my shoes. Please!!!!!
Your voice was heard and it said this: (choking sounds)
Alec Baldwin never looked worried had his arrogance since the beginning. Hope her family sue all these mf.
She(the other prosecutor not the one that quit this case) also hid hundreds of pages from the hanna case
wait just a minute! your voice was heard, it was the frigging lies that you were spewing. better luck in your next job. as you suck at this one.
You guys should consider changing the name to this video to be honest. It also includes why the case was dismissed, which is what most people are interested in. Not why a prosecutor resigned. I almost watched a different channel thinking you wouldn't be covering the why of the case being dismissed. Props to her for coming on your channel and standing by her morals though.
On the face of it, the evidence wasn’t relevant to Alec Baldwin’s defence (or to the armorer’s) but it still should have been disclosed.
Kari Morrissey is not the DA people. She was hired as a special prosecutor. She does not work for the state.
morrissey been bias all along to only cares to get baldwin and forgotten why trial is for…the truth with question everyone mind…how did live rounds end up in set ?? morrissey knew alec baldwin is been set up by disgruntle set employee that took one life during filming, all because SNL morriseey didn't like
Was there any drug or alcohol test giving to anyone on the set
He is GUILTY sad that the prosecutor blew it
This was a workplace accident. This case never really qualified as criminal case from the get go
Most prosecutors cheat and play game in order to tilt the scales of justice and obtain more convictions, even if those convictions are wrongly obtained
I totally believe that Seth Kenny's was all mixed up in what happened. And he made sure other people took the fall so he could walk away scott free!
And I also believe that Morrisey wanted to make a name for herself no matter what.
When I first saw all of this going down I thought the prosecutor intentionally blocked the evidence. But after having paid a bit more attention to her I think it was simply hubris. She tried to run the court room, she tried to be the one person in charge of everything. Because of this attitude, she couldn’t conceive of why anyone else thought the ammo mattered when she didn’t.
All in all she is the wrong type of person to be a prosecutor.
Thankfully Ms. Johnson chose to resign from the case instead of staying on.
need more prosecutors like this lady and not the blonde lady prosecutor that f-d up.
The case needed to be dismissed after the initial investigation. There is no murder charge either in common law or the MPC that could have possibly stuck to Alec Baldwin. What a crockpot load of crap the prosecution cooked up
She is a coward. Point blank. Baldwin is guilty and Halyna isn’t getting justice.
She like Morrisey are Baldwin fans. The evidence was not exculpatory at all. A guilty man walked free because of his money and fame.
Morrissey needs to be charged with perjury. She knew exactly why Johnson resigned
What's on the horizon? Exclusive interview with Binance's CEO reveals future insights
She jumped off the ship when she knew it was going to sink
Too bad the temporary prosecutor didn't listen to the lady that had a lot of experience as a prosecutor. Kari effed up hard on this one. Erlinda gets a cookie. 🙂
I hope the right decisions were made for justice to be served.
"that $10M alec baldwin paid me to throw the case has set me up for life. Have a nice day"
Best luck to Hannah too ! 😊
The prosecutor(s) couldn’t explain where the real bullets were and why. Like in the gun belts ! 😮
