Alec Baldwin’s Lawyers Get Fired Up, Says There’s Too Many Issues in “Rust” Trial

On the third day of trial, both defense attorneys for defendant Alec Baldwin, Alex Spiro and Luke Nikas, reveal they believe this case has had too many issues. Spiro said, “I’ve been on many high-pressure cases, and there have been more issues in this case than I’ve had throughout my career.” Spiro also said he believes that state attorney Kari Morrisey has been signaling to witnesses on the stand. Nikas got furious regarding the conduct of the prosecution.

@@MayaGTKdoesn’t matter, there are pictures and video of him pointing the gun with his FINGER on the trigger and thumb on the hammer. That is how a single action Army pistol works. What matters is Baldwin held the gun, pointed the gun, and had his finger on the trigger. He obviously did not check the pistol when it was handed to him. He did not open the loading gate, with finger off the trigger, pull the hammer back to the half cocked position, then rotate the cylinder 7 times slowly, to visually check that each of the 6 chambers were empty. ( 7 so you are sure you went passed your starting chamber). If he saw a round chambered, then he should have called for a stop, and ask why is this weapon loaded? They aren’t in court to find out how live ammo got on set, just that he was negligent and shot someone. It’s miss direction.

​@@possumfriend2335 Seth was bitter they wouldn't let him be both Propmaster and Lead Armourer. He vented about it in an interview on a gun rights podcast. He even tried to call it an example of cutting corners to save costs, which to me sounds ridiculous. I mean how does that save money, did he intend to charge more than two people's wages ? And if he were to do the two jobs, isn't it likely there would be job safety and quality issues from an overloaded to-do list? We learned in Hannah's trial that Sarah did not respect Hannah's authority as Armourer, that she was annoyed that Hannah had duties besides being her prop assistant, and that Sarah wanted her fired (without just cause)...oh, and also that Sarah and Seth were romantically involved.

​@@possumfriend2335 Seth hired her. His PDQ prop business employed her. Seth was ticked off that they wouldn't let him be Lead Armourer

[@lynneuribeross2695]

Has anyone asked who was it that brought the live rounds to the filming location!!!!

[@StellaChristelle]

Ostensibly it was Hannah GR

[@88jeebs]

There was an entire investigation to figure it out. They couldn't trace it but most likely the Armorer

[@killcamz24mota92]

@@88jeebsmost likely doesn’t cut it. They need to find out who brought it with 100% certainty!

[@88jeebs]

@killcamz24mota92 they know now I believe.

[@s.newcomer8855]

they destroyed the gun..lol..wow

[@macsmith2013]

Found this while googling what happened to the gun: 'the “extremely aggressive” tests performed on the gun in an FBI lab irreversibly damaged the single-action revolver' So the FBI blew it as well. What a train wreck of a case, glad it was dismissed.

[@userbosco]

I wish this judge was handling tRump's document case in FL.

[@DLxx3]

Fix your collar!

[@conradsieber7883]

Agree with the defense.

[@wolke1955]

Same

[@BeardLAD]

Same, I called the witness tampering yesterday before the defence brought it up today. Be interesting to see if the example they provide is the example I commented on. And as for identifying a ‘murder suspect’ - with a motive - the defence are basically exposing LE’s failure to investigate. That’s your reasonable doubt, and I imagine the prosecution’s ‘convicted witness’ isn’t going to be happy to help if she hears about it - being the suspect’s intended target.

The Devil was busy

[@sheliahickerson1608]

Why did they destroy the gun?

[@macsmith2013]

I was curious myself and only had to search 5 seconds for the answer. Apparently "the 'extremely aggressive' tests performed on the gun in an FBI lab irreversibly damaged the single-action revolver..." So the FBI f'ed up as well. What a train wreck of a case, glad it was dismissed.

[@k9policexj]

Why was the hammer pulled to the fully cocked position?

[@Asidebar]

None of the attorneys defense and state nor the judge are impressive. They all lack!

[@tonytoloczko5243]

I luv the judge.

[@tonytoloczko5243]

Take it under😂 advisement

[@January.]

*, defense or state, including the judge, are impressive. They all lack competence.

[@loopy1159]

But u are 😂😂😂😂😂

[@leonardodalongisland]

Neither is your attempt at a logical/correct sentnece.

[@lilnh1039]

Why is this happening when its all hearsay

[@Dawn2Dusk23]

It is NOT hearsay. It is a crucial piece of evidence that was purposely filed under a different case number and excluded from the defense request for all rounds. It was not investigated as it should have been.

[@briw4647]

absolutly insane. yes they should have handed in the evidence, collected the ammo and questioned witnesses. the defence says the holder of the ammo sys is doesnt match the set ammo, nut the people had been firing off rounds for multiple occasions from the batch, maybe the matching ammo had been already discharged? shocking behaviour, only outcome was dismissal

[@Jazzygerl]

What slime lawyers

[@sheliahickerson1608]

The chain of evidence is not right.

[@debh5780]

So was Hannah the one to be affected by this ??? What about the man bringing the live ammo to set is he liable for murder or manslaughter ??? 😮😮😮

[@ralphmajor1947]

I object
