The manslaughter trial against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has been dismissed. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case over how police and prosecutors treated a handful of bullets, which they failed to turn over to the defence.

“The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” Judge Sommer said. “Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.” The dismissal came as a surprise as gasps were said to be heard in the courtroom and Baldwin was congratulated by his family and supporters.

No they didn't, or don't have to. I haven't been trained by my boss almost at all, separate people train me on different processes. My boss leads the team, they don't need to know all the details of everyone's job and certainly don't train everyone on everything on what they need to do.

And while the team is their responsibility and what happens in the team immediately reflects on them, that is not the case legally speaking. Internally sure, someone fucks up in the team and maybe the boss gets canned or whatever, but they are not legally responsible of the entire team.

Of course this isn't true if the person the boss hires isn't qualified to do the job and were hired because of money, or for instance if that person is way too overworked or are given inadequate tools to their job properly etc.
