2. There's no way he's CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBILE….. HE HAD NO INTENT OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE SITUATION!!!

3. Finding out how and why that live round was brought to the set was something the prosecutor and police investigators have so conveniently overlooked.

4. Does the prosecutor actually believe herself…shameful…Did Baldwin hire handler…NO…. I’m confused prosecutor going on and on about him handling the gun as was his job…maybe if he had been informed that an incompetent weapon handler possibly under the influence also a possibility he’d may have double checked the armorer this would require 20/20 vision which isn’t possible…Please remember this involves the lose of someone’s love…

5. SOMEONE GOT RICH ON THIS CRIME AND SOMEONE WALKED EXCEPT A POOR GIRL…😮

6. The evidence will show (because we're hiding crucial bits) …. Case dismissed

7. Unfortunately, defense's theory just makes me think about a quote I've heard about method acting, paraphrasing "curiously, you never hear how an actor does nice things as part of their "method acting" " (it was in reference to some actor sending his costars dead rats or something, claiming he's getting into character by method acting).

8. how do we know if the gun was capable of functioning? because it was a brand new, modern replica with modern safety features like a safety stop a couple millimeters after the hammer is drawn back and a floating firing pin.

9. is the defense trying to tell us baldwin was so wrapped up in make believe he couldnt see real world dangers? really? then lock him up as being too dangerous for society lol.

10. Baldwin WILL be found not guilty..THE GUN WAS DESTROYED!! WHY??

11. Baldwin is 100% innocent..and he deserves to be exonerated and he will be found not guilty

12. I'm not an American, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but looking objectively at it, and not swayed by personal feelings towards Baldwin, I have a question. If a firearms expert hands a gun to an actor on set, it would be reasonable for that actor to assume the gun was safe. Why would he be expected to stop what he's doing and independently check the gun? He's got his job to do, and would expect that the armorer had done hers. Am I missing something?

13. I sure hope there’s a majority of Trump supporters in the jury. 🤣

14. Question who ordered the ammunition there is the guilty

15. 😂😂😂😂

16. @ 5:01.00 The judge confirms she's texting with someone in the gallery

17. He was extremely careless. Manslaughter is a fair charge.

18. I thought it was going to be the same prosecutor.

19. Why was real ammo even in that gun or anywhere near that set that is the real question

20. I think lawyers against Baldwin are emotional… Baldwin has thinkers …i wish you took nurses lawyers and teachers from Kenya

21. Trump fans tuning in to make up fake ideas, the purpose of a prop master and armory tech is to check and hand it to the actor on a set, its not his job to check for blank bullets. Yall really need to get a GED, same people will support jan 6 lmao loosers

22. The fact that they were using a real gun that fires live Ammo proves he is guilty of murder movie prop guns will not fire live ammunition they will not fit in the gun

23. What he meant was he didn’t intentionally pull the trigger.

24. In this case he did not follow gun safety check procedures, thus was negligent and reckless. Had he followed the gun safety check procedures he has been trained to do before pointing a gun at someone on set the young lady would be alive today. The prosecutor is correct.

25. He didn't want to offend Hannah yet didn't care about the lives of people…right

26. Anyone who handles a gun needs to be aware of how to be safe and check for themselves if you are a responsible person… not throw the blame on others.

27. Question… Will Trump pardon Alec?

28. He’s not guilty, man. You think he wanted to kill anyone?

29. Throwing some questions out there……. Are actors supposed to check if a car's breaks are working? Are actors supposed to check if the bottle of 'acid' has water in it or real acid? Are actors supposed to check if the liquid on the floor is flammable before throwing in the matches? Are the actors supposed to check if the dynamite is real or fake? etc…

    Think for a moment on different scenarios where props could kill other people.

    How many actors haven't had accidents or even lost their own lives because a prop was not safe? It's not on the actors to check if the props are safe. That is why there are multiple professionals in charge of those props!

30. He was thinking about everything but the gun and wants to confuse us to the same point and muddy the issue that the gun is the only thing he should be thinking about…the very reason he would argue that is the problem…thats all that you think about until you clear it the life threatening deadly weapon in your hand your about to point at someone and pull the trigger. And according to you is either going to do nothing or go off with a cold blank your not sure what will happen when you pull the trigger but we need to understand there was alot you were thinking about besides safety of the life you are risking with a REAL STEEL point and shoot??????????

31. The basic rules of safety are not suspended just because you are on a movie set. There is no question of who was in control when Ms. Hutchens died.

32. 3:56 he had somebody filming him while he ran around, shooting the gun… you mean like on a movie set? Really lady? You make it sound like he’s playing cops and robbers with his beer buddies.. He was filming a movie.

33. Why would there ever be a need for live ammo on a movie set? Such a tragic accident, her poor family.

34. I cannot believe his defense attorney actually says that all rules are off when you are acting on a movie set

35. Any resonable gun owner thats had single actions know dude pulled the trigger or he had the trigger depressed when he feathered the hammer.

36. I just always wonder why there’s not been much talk about really investigating where a live round came from and the girl that took evidence and threw it away. Why hasn’t anything happened with her and why did she do that?

37. I’m kinda on Alec’s side he was just doing his job maybe needed a lesson on gun safety but there being live bullets in the gun wasn’t his responsibility. Case and point

38. The SAG – SHOULD have a provision for the actor to verify the firearms safety before filming.

39. It doesn't matter if the gun was full of live rounds because guns don't kill people all by themselves. From what I understand the situation did not call for the trigger to be pulled but Baldwin pulled that trigger anyway. Why???

40. What if an actor was driving a car in a scene and mishandled the vehicle resulting in the deaths of other actors, crew, etc… Does any responsibility fall on the actor behind the wheel, or does the prop/mechanic shoulder the burden of responsibility?

41. This trial is ridiculous
