Timothy Busfield Criminal Case Timeline:
1/9/26 - Arrest
1/20/26 - Pretrial Detention Hearing
1/21/26 - GJ Target and Bort Jones Notice. GJ is 2/5.
2/3/26 - Deadline for Bort Jones Letter re exculpatory evidence and witnesses. Busfield's counsel declines.
2/4/26 - Busfield notifies ADA he will testify before GJ.
2/5/26 - GJ held. Busfield shows up to testify. He has nine witnesses in tow along with exhibits including two Warner Brothers invests. Victims, their doctors, therapists, weren't contacted for studio backed invests.
In NM, the procedurally appropriate way to get the exculpatory evidence and witnesses into a GJ is via the Bort Jones process. Defense counsel pulled a sneaky move, trying to get questionable material and witnesses in through Busfield's testimony. Had they gone the Bort Jones route the prosecutor (via motion) and the judge likely wouldn't have OKed the proposed material.
Partial judgement on the pleadings has been granted to LEO defendants on Counts I and II in Baldwin's federal 1983 suit. Reading now.
AWOL for five months and lied about his military record!
Billy Farwell did not graduate from Stoughton High School.
In fact, he didn't graduate from any of the high schools, Farwell's attorney just confirmed on cross examination
Billy went AWOL for five months during his first enlistment, he admits on the stand.
He wasn't hired by Stoughton the first time because he lied about his military record
The Medical Examiner states under oath that they work for the deceased and the family left behind. (Thank you @GrantSmithEllis for the testimony.)
Aidan Kearney, with zero professional training, education or experience on the subject, declares post-indictment: "ME's are government employees who do what other government employees want them to do." Is that so?
How TF does he know? What experience does he have that supports his gross generalization (and incorrect) opinion here? He doesn't have any. It supports his narrative in one case therefore he declares the same applies to every case and ME out there.
Compare what Aidan Kearney declared back in August 2024 about the Birchmore ME to the ME's testimony in court today. Context matters. This is why we wait until trial. Without any education, experience, or training on the subject Kearney wanted to immediately name, shame, and have the ME prosecuted.

There is so much information to keep up with it in this trial. Let’s not forget about the testimony of the medical examiner today here is my recap for @LAmag

On the topic of immunity...I meant to come back to this regarding Jason Pickard being granted immunity. The Uniform Code of Military Justice includes prohibited activities with recruits. Pickard, at the very least, violated that code which is considered a crime. See below for the code language (2019 version).
Hence why Pickard was asked about it on cross - to question his credibility and impeach him as a witness. Typical defense strategy. TO BE CLEAR: Farwell is a guilty POS. Both he and his brother deserve to rot. I'm simply sharing the legal significance.

This is messed up.
LGNA got her federal court press pass on Thursday and attended Farwell's trial in the media overflow room. It was the first day she attended the trial. Grant now thinks she's a mole working with Tully, Fanning, and Kate (??). He subsequently put out an announcement to his media colleagues that the courtroom was being spied on. Turns out the so called spy he was referring to is LGNA. This is RIDICULOUS.
Like many others I appreciate Grant's transcriptions and reporting on this case but isn't this a bit much @GrantSmithEllis? LGNA has streamed many hearings over the last year. She has been there to record live when no one else with creds has shown up. I've never spoken to @LawGirlsNotAttn and I disagree with her about TB. Still, she's a huge asset to all of us no matter the side.
Maybe reconsider or have a discussion with her personally before concluding and telling your colleagues that she's a spy? I seriously cannot believe I just wrote that last sentence but here we are.
Nailed it.
You may be wondering: why won't the "content creators" just apologize and admit they lied? After all, we've got them dead to rights, and at first glance, it would seem cheaper to just say sorry than spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in court. But they're just making a cold and ruthless business decision.
If the "creators" apologize or give even one inch to the truth, they'll lose their loyal audiences. You know, the crazies who snort all the false "content" up their noses like a certain type of famous white powder. If they lose the crazies, the "creators" become irrelevant, insolvent, and out of business. Then they'd have to emerge from their hideouts, look for real jobs, and finally face the ultimate punishment of living in reality.
It's all about profit. Racism for Profit. $$$.
See, the "creators" don't care one lick about "social justice," or for that matter, justice of any kind. And the "creators" certainly don't care about the colors black, brown, or white. Instead, they care about only one color: green, green, green.
That's why the "creators" will never turn on their audiences. Because the "creators" in fact don't create anything; all they do is destroy. And, of course, sell that destruction to their rabid followers and subscribers.
The "creators" have decided that it's a better business decision to double and triple down on their lies, keep their audiences, and take their chances in court against our lawsuits.
We'll soon find out whether that was a good business decision for the "creators."
Hint: don't put any money on the "creators" unless you like betting on losing horses.

Why is he so angry? Imagine being in elementary school and your dad is screaming about this in the other room.
Judge Belezos says Aidan Kearney has a certain trial date and it's still 12/7/26. This date has been set for nearly a year. Concrete and definitive until the judge says otherwise.
For those who missed it - Defense counsel filed a motion yesterday to schedule the trial for 2/1/27. At the last hearing and in a 10/2 order Judge B noted the trial would be rescheduled for 2/1/27 in the event of court congestion (aka no available courtrooms).
Doing so was not an open invitation to delay travel plans, summons, and witness prep ahead of the 12/7 trial date. Nor was it an invitation to request 2/1 as an alternative date. Referencing 2/1 put Bradl and Bederow on notice for another date as an emergency back up plan. Like an overflow date just in case.
The latest on Rep. Romero and the NM Truth Commission saga. You know it's bad when the general counsel for the State Ethics Commission is acting improperly.

Per court records and a trusted legal source who can confirm: Andrea Reeb is currently assigned to 32 open cases as a prosecutor across five judicial districts in NM. 32 cases as a prosecutor and state legislator!! This is why she resigned from the Legislature. Her unconstitutional double dipping wasn't limited to Alec Baldwin's case.
BOOOOOO! I hope the DA's office initiates new criminal proceedings which the judge says they're free to do.

Here's the link to Andrea Reeb's resignation letter. It should be noted that Reeb specifically requested an opinion from the NM AG on this issue in 2024, likely to cover her butt from civil liability in Baldwin's case.

Andrea Reeb's double dipping as a state legislator and contract prosecutor didn't stop with Baldwin's criminal case. Look how many special prosecution contracts she had in the 2026 fiscal year alone. She currently has three contracts for 2027.

Aidan Kearney “Turtleboy” doxxed the lone juror and caused this!
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Lindsay Clancy lone juror Michael Desronvil says REPORTERS showed up at his HOUSE and WENT THROUGH HIS MAIL — after he started getting publicly outed by people like defense attorney Kevin Reddington
They went to the back door, peaked through the windows and he HAS IT ON VIDEO.
"Police had to escort my fiancée in and out of the house."
Q: Do you feel like Reddington put a target on your back?
DESRONVIL: "Yes."
Q: You had media at your home? Did they go through your mail?
DESRONVIL: "Yes. We have surveillance cameras. And we have footage of them going through our mail, going through the back door, front door, peaking through the windows. We have PROOF of that."
Tampering with someone's mail is a federal crime.
Jurors are supposed to be able to vote their conscience without being hunted down afterward!
Juror names are usually kept private for exactly this reason. REDDINGTON DIDN'T CARE
Once his name got out, his whole family got dragged into it and it's SHAMEFUL.
If he has footage, police should be looking at who those "reporters" were. Freaking jackals.
Whatever you think of his vote, no juror's family should have to live like this. He did the right thing.
