And it's not like she raised concerns about the ammunition status.
Yeah this was also part of the initial rumours. Surprised it didn't come up maybe they didn't find anyone to testify witnessing that.

Just speculating, but it could also just be that neither side thought it fit their strategy. For the defense, it doesn't make the safety on set look good, which doesn't make Gutierrez look good. For the prosecution, it was a sidetrack that could have confused the issue of responsibility in the eyes of the jury.
Or something. We'll probably get a book about it eventually.
