The new special prosecutors appointed after Reeb’s departure disputed these claims, asserting that there had been no selective prosecution and that the case was handled impartially. They also addressed the mystery of the live rounds found on the set, stating that the investigation was ongoing to determine their origin. The possibility that Gutierrez-Reed herself may be responsible for their presence was raised, hinting at the potential for additional charges.
The prosecutors did not provide specific details about the evidence supporting their claims in the filing. As the case continues to unfold, the film industry and the public anxiously await further developments in this tragic incident that has shaken Hollywood to its core.
