During the cross-examination by defense attorney Alex Spiro, crime scene technician Marissa Poppell from the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department provided crucial insights into the evidence collected from various locations related to the “Rust” shooting.
Spiro focused his line of questioning on the contents of a truck used to store props for the production. Poppell testified that although live rounds were found in other areas on set, no live ammunition was discovered in the prop truck during her search a week after the shooting. She explained that the delay in searching the truck was due to the time needed to obtain a search warrant.
