A look into a bad gun expert
By now, you probably have heard that Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer on the set of Rust when Alec Baldwin shot two people, was convinced of involuntary manslaughter.
There has been a lot of coverage of that trial.
She deserved to be convicted.
I want to take a look at the expert her lawyers hired for her defense.
Frank Louis Blair Koucky III.
He went viral for mishandling guns on the witness stand and being chastised by the judge.
I wanted to know who this idiot was and how he became an expert in firearms.

He is, by career and experience, a financial advisor. He has never worked professionally with guns.
His experience is as a hunter, reenactor, and extra on movie sets.
I'm shocked that he was even allowed to testify.
I'm shocked that the defense wanted to call him because he was such a bad expert, I believe he made the defense's position look worse.
The only thing that I can guess is that ever other reputable gun expert refused to agree to work for the defense because her case was so bad.
