Alec Baldwin LIVE Jury Trial | Day 1 | The State's Case | AFTERNOON

Chandler continues the stream of the trial while Larry is still observing the jury in court.
A grand jury in New Mexico has charged Alec Baldwin with a fresh count of involuntary manslaughter over a fatal movie set shooting in October 2021. Alec will stand trial in this series as we cover the case live.
The Allegation: Alec Baldwin received the firearm from David Halls, a safety coordinator and assistant director (not the armorer), and was told it was safe (He shouted 'cold gun', meaning the gun was not live). Interestingly, Halls had witnessed two negligent discharges (ND) in the days before the accident and had failed to take any appropriate action.
Also, in his position of Safety coordinator, he should have checked the gun was indeed 'cold' before handing it over, in my opinion. While the buck might stop somewhere else, he is still in the chain of negligence [and pleaded 'no contest' to the charge of 'negligent use of a deadly weapon',] and was convicted of that last year.
Baldwin did not check the firearm, and seemingly the person who handed it to him did not check it either. The armorer was not on set. The armorer should always be on set when firearms are being used to ensure safety protocols are being followed. Usually an armorer should give an 'all clear' once firearms are secured. There is scant information on whether Baldwin had the required on-set safety training mandated. Even if he had been using guns on set for decades, it's still required to go over things with an actor before the scene.
As an actor he may be culpable for the incident if it can be shown that he acted negligently when in possession of the firearm. However, an actor is not supposed to be a firearms expert. That's the reason why productions are required to hire someone who is. However, he was also a producer on the production, so in his capacity as producer, he might have some level of culpability. Especially as the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, said that the producers overruled her and therefore created unsafe work conditions.
However, Gutierrez was found guilty of the misdemeanor of negligent firearm use. It is further alleged that she spent most nights drinking heavily and smoking weed and was very likely hung over when she loaded the weapon.

If the gunpowder found in the light rounds at the warehouse was the same as the gunpowder found on the set why did they not prosecute Mr Kenny. Wouldn't that show that he's the one that brought the live rounds to the set?

Baldwin’s probably taking notes for a book or movie he’s planning on creating after everything.

[@waterdragon2224]

Was Larry in the courtroom or were media set up elsewhere?

WHY WAIT A FULL 7 DAYS TO SEARCH THE PROP TRUCK ? MORE INEPT INVESTIGATION, THAT'S WHY !! NOT TO MENTION WAITING OVER 30 DAYS TO SEARCH THE PROP SUPPLY COMPANY !!

[@patriciahedtke1631]

I think Kenny got the live rounds, gave them to Sara. She was pissed at Hanna. That is why Sara emptied the gun. She wanted something to happpend. Both lucked out because it took so long to get to them. Sooner or later Sara is going to burn Kenny......

Thought you were a lawyer Chan

[@QueenBee2018gail]

Call me stupid if you want to, but it’s a movie there shouldn’t of been any live ammo at all as far as I know

[@QueenBee2018gail]

Hey, I’m from Kentucky Lexington love love the DUI guy follow him all the time and you just trying to get into this trial and it’s hard to listen to her. I couldn’t listen to her if she was talking to me that way.

[@darvil4]

Chandler is wonderful.

[@QueenBee2018gail]

She just looks so stuffy and full of herself. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m just now following this trial and she’s turning me off.

[@QueenBee2018gail]

She acts like she’s talking to a child. She’s talking to an adult. I don’t like her.

No one wants to hear this and i know it sounds kinda unbelievable however, there is a small chance that a misfired live round left a bullet in the barrel and never left the barrel. Then a dummy round sent the bullet the rest of the way. It is possible and it has been proven. I used to sport shoot. Another shooter at a meet loaded his own ammo and had a light load. this resulted in the bullet being lodged into the barrel. In his case he fired another bullet and the barrel split open. It has happened and it is possible that a lodged bullet could be pushed out of a barrel from a dummy load. It is kinda out there but it is possible!

[@waterdragon2224]

Do you mean blank not dummy? Dummies are inert. No powder or anything.

[@wrcummings]

@@waterdragon2224 No. A blank does have powder and a wad to keep the powder in the round in place of the removed lead. Once fired only the unburnt powder, wad and gas come out of the barrel. If you have the barrel to your head a fired blank can kill you.

[@waterdragon2224]

@@wrcummings but in your first comment you said dummy round not blank. Dummies are inert. Can’t do anything.

[@wrcummings]

@@waterdragon2224 The first comment wasn’t me but my first comment only mentioned blanks. It looks like we both made assumptions that were slightly off the mark. I never mentioned the word, “dummy” ( < until now) but it looks like I’m the dummy for thinking the person starting this post meant to say blank and had mistakenly used, “dummy.” When I think of it the word blanks isn’t accurate because blanks do expel unburnt powder, gas, and a wad. Blank means bare, empty or plain. This brainstorming of comments however could add some clarity as long as it doesn’t end up being a Biden/Trump issue. (Damn! I shouldn’t have mentioned politics!) 😬

CARELESS CARELESS ….. but i say baldwin is not personally responsible for stupidity of others handling that gun. …. Its an accident and no one deserves years in prison for this…. The family should be compensated handsomely

[@charlie15627]

I think the defense is aiming for too many angles. They’re saying this is wrong, that’s wrong, this other thing isn’t right, maybe this other stuff is messed up and these other things are off too. They’re just throwing ish at the wall hoping some of it will stick. In the end, it makes them sound all over the place and no one knows what they’re trying to say. They’d be far better off just pushing the accident narrative and saying AB had no reason to believe the gun could be dangerous. That would be their best shot for acquittal, although I personally believe him to be guilty. He showed total disregard for safety, knew their had been negligent discharges on set and still was pointing his gun at people and pulling the trigger. Guilty

[@markthomas3730]

DID THIS CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE PROFESSIONAL (OR ANY OTHER CRIME SCENE TECHNICIAN) PERFORM ANY GUN SHOT RESIDUE TESTING ON MR. BALDWIN'S HANDS OR CLOTHES ? WAS HE FINGERPRINTED ?? STANDARD PRACTICE, IS IT NOT ?

[@centobyte]

Release Alec just for his impersonation of Trump on SNL. ! Im sure he didnt mean to kill that poor woman.

[@annfreels3071]

He’s a smart Alec! Can’t stand him after hearing how he talked to his 13 year old daughter. Nothing to do with politics.

[@centobyte]

@annfreels3071 he's a excellent Trump impersonator. I don't know about him talking bad to his kid. I'll research that. Thank you
