I wouldn't be surprised if Alec gets off because the attorney shifts the blame onto the armor for this exact reason.
"My client was mislead by the armorer who was convicted! No sensible person could be expected to follow the rules of firearms safety!"
It's rather strange they weren't tried at the same time as co-defendants. It would make far more sense because then a prosecutor can hope the two defendants play each other by trying to shift blame.
Unless you want to make sure that one of the defendants gets off.
