If the prosecution had focused on Baldwin's role as a producer who indirectly is responsible for the hiring of inadequate people and following the safety policy, MAYBE they would have had a case.
They botched it by minimizing his role as an actor while at the same time overexaggerating his responsibilities.
Ниодин актёр не должен отвечать за работу оружейников! Представьте, если бы Шварценегеру, в Терминаторе, или Сталоне, в Рэмбо, зарядили пулемёт боевыми…
Alec Baldwin is a deuchebag and belongs in prison.
I was expecting a better case than actors shouldn't point guns
Everyone talking about the Producer role. What about the Director. The ultimate authority on a set. He was shot as well, but he is the leader of the set. Not the actor or producer.
It sounds Ridiculous to say that Mr. Baldwin needed to double check the armorer’s work because she was so inexperienced. The producers or whomever is in charge of hiring an armorer should have not hired someone inexperienced! What a ludicrous argument. Are the people responsible for hiring Gutierrez-Reed going to be sued now? That makes a lot more sense then suing an actor who was specifically told the gun was cold and therefore checked. If Baldwin is a producer who signed on to hire her, then accuse him of hiring someone too inexperienced for the job. Don’t accuse him of not doing her job for her while on set as an actor.
"This is where a prop gun held by Alec Baldwin went off…" no. The gun didn't just go off he pulled the trigger. Why is it so hard for people in the media to say that?
I'd like to ask the blonde haired lady behind alec to be my girlfriend, if someone will let her know that I'd appreciate it.
Baldwin is a cold blooded killer
I would like Sidebar to break this down and summarize what happened
If Alec went to trail in 2021 and got the same charge as the gun lady wouldn’t he be out as of 2024? Why did they push it back so far and not get it over with?
why does he not fess up
How in any world of reality is the gun used in the death (probably a homicide of some sort) be destroyed before the trial is completed. There is NO NEED for me to waste any more time on this foolish clown show. Our justice department is gone.
This is the most idiotic trial.
The prosecution is trying to have their cake and eat it, too. They already got the person responsible.
And it’s not standard practice for actors to double-check firearms!
The armorer had one specific, crucial job: to ensure gun safety she failed to perform this duty properly. checking the guns is a critical responsibility, especially when it comes to safety on a film set 🤯
In this case, it appears the armorer failed to properly inspect the gun before it was given to Alec Baldwin. Despite this apparent lapse in the armorer's duties, there's been a push to place the bulk of the blame on Baldwin himself
Alec should have checked it himself , but he didn't want to offend the newbie armourer
That weird wife and brother in the background. LOL
Lawyer said hes not guilty of homicide and hes right, Alec is on trial for involuntary manslaughter not homicide.
I pray it all works out in Mr. Alec Baldwin favor. 🙏🏽
My understanding is that Balwin was more than just an actor on this production, he was also a producer. While a mere actor might be blameless, surely a producer bears some degree of responsibility for the abysmal state of on-set safety with the movie.
Here is my prediction:
If Baldwin takes the stance he will get himself found guilty. His narcissistic behavior will get him muddled up in contradictions!
Gulity ❗
Why does this channel require payment in order to watch Baldwin trial? Hogwash. AP and other channels it's free forever.
Lock him up
Interesting!
The most guilty person in this case, will likely never be prosecuted….and that's whoever brought the bullets to set
Baldwin is an ego maniac that will kill you OBVIOUSLY!!!!
Put this murderer in jail. He probably knew gun was loaded and had an argument with dead lady
You could argue that Baldwin wouldn’t be exceptionally concerned if he did accidentally pull the trigger while he was whipping the gun out during the scene because it should be literally impossible for it to be loaded, but it’s a very different thing when he has a documented history and habit of firing inappropriately, waving the gun around, using it to point at people…that’s not a level of certainty the impossible can’t happen, that’s just recklessness.
Cold gun or not, if he had taken the required gun safety course, he would have known the safety protocols!
It is not his job to be worried about gun safety his only job is to act!!!
Alec will be found NOT GUILTY
Why was there a real weapon and loaded on a recording set?
Except he was a producer that created a chaotic set. I don't blame the actor Alec Baldwin. I blame the producer Alec Baldwin.
I was shocked that Baldwin was on the phone with the wife discussing travel plans while the victim was dying.
He may be guilty as a producer, he may have lied about not pulling the trigger, but he was never supposed to check the gun as an actor. He wasn't careful enough while filming other scenes, but at that moment, he was handed a supposedly cold gun. Do you think he should have checked the gun as an ACTOR because he saw how messy the armorer was? It would kinda be like expecting Halyna as the cinematographer to do the same thing because she knew she was going to sit in front of it. This case got destroyed the moment judge cut out the producer part out of it.
It was a rehearsal, in character lol the attorney grasping at straws.
His attorney is not telling the truth. The actor DOES CHECK THE GUN and Alec is the executive producer PERIOD!
