There should be outrage if everyone walks away from this without any real consequences, there was significant negligence and disregard for safety on the movie set and it resulted in a death. This conviction should be overturned anyway. There isn’t even the illusion of fairness or justice when the state is allowed to hide and even destroy evidence as they have in this case. For the state to strip rights and freedoms from a person it is incumbent upon the state to prove that the person has committed the crimes of which they have been accused and to do so in a fair and open process.
If it’s like the theater near me the space is for the entrance and stairs. You would come in at the level with the handicapped seating and go down stairs to the rows in front of that and up stairs for the rows behind.
