'Gutierrez Reed’s lawsuit was filed late Wednesday in New Mexico’s 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque against Seth Kenney and his firm, PDQ Arm & Prop. The suit alleges that Kenney and PDQ violated New Mexico’s Unfair Trade Practices Act by introducing dangerous products onto the movie set and by providing ammunition with “false label representations.”
A box of ammunition, which surfaced on the set near Santa Fe on the morning of the fatal Oct. 21 accident, was labeled “dummies” even though the box contained seven live rounds mixed in with 43 dummies, according to the suit.'
'Hancock paged through a series of crime scene photos, showing Gutierrez Reed where each of the suspected live rounds was found. (They were “suspected” to be live because a crime lab had yet to confirm that.) One was in an ammunition box with a bunch of dummy rounds. Two were sitting on top of a cart. One was in Baldwin’s bandolier. All of them — plus the round that killed Hutchins — were Starline Brass.
But that didn’t make any sense. Starline Brass is the dummy round of choice for movie sets.
“This company doesn’t produce live ammo,” Hancock said.'
