Doesn’t look as authentic. You can tell from a mile away special effects vs real gun shooting a blank

Low budget movie. Alec was cheap on safety as well. Real gun is just cheaper. Also inexperienced armorer.

I’m calling bullshit on this comment. When a movie uses fake crap , you can tell. And the lady in the video says there is no reason to point it at anyone , I’m sure that would make a great movie to watch. 😂😂😂😂. This was Hanna’s job. She failed. End of story.

The real big issue is the live round. How was a live round able to be there at all?

No, the "real big issue" is that he disavowed any and all tenants of gun safety while using the revolver like it was a laser pointer and telling me that I should be forced to endure gun control as a private citizen.

[@sq1rlsqu4d]

@@YUMLiberalTears No. You're as misguided as the next poster (and considerably less intelligent, but let's let that lie). The real "big issue" is the presence of live ammunition on a set where it wasn't necessary.

The supplier may have mixed them. They showed his storage space during the first trial. But regardless Baldwin knew that he should never point a gun directly at someone live round or not!

[@amberreschke9241]

Hannah was found guilty of bringing the live round. I see a lot of questions about who was responsible. Hannah was pictured with the live rounds before movie production began. She was responsible for checking every gun, every time. She was found guilty of being criminally responsible for the live round.

@libertyna933 so how was Alec suppose to know they were live?

[@redman0027]

While tragic and easy to focus on, it honestly doesn't matter. After watching the case I can say without a doubt if someone more competent and cared about safety was in her position (even if there were live rounds on set) the safety precautions she was supposed to take would have prevented the gun with live rounds from making it to anyone who might have pulled the trigger. We like to focus on the live rounds because you are right, they should not have been on site, but like who cares. If the armorer literally does their job it shouldn't matter.

How about the rule: You never trust another person to check your gun for you. Would you drive your car into a busy intersection at the direction of someone else in your car, or or would you look at what is going on in the intersection for yourself. Gun checks, especially with a simple revolver, are quick and easy to do. You don't need to be a 'gun expert' to do it. When I do laundry or make toast at home I don't consider myself a 'washing machine and toaster expert'..

[@Francis-xl2gu]

I keep saying would Alec have put that gun to his own head and not checked it first ??? Would he ???

[@JimmySmash87]

Is it really the quick? A colt single action requires the door to open and pull out each round after rotating the cylinder. Dummy rounds can only be identified by shaking.

[@asherhouseman6838]

@@JimmySmash87 , you don't have to pull out each round to identify a live round. As you rotate the cylinder you can see the undented primer of a live round. Or you can do what George Clooney does and fire the revolver into the ground six times to be sure.

Alec said "I shoot the gun"

[@AFAskygoddess]

I can't stand Alec Baldwin. But I don't think that he's guilty of involuntary manslaughter because he held the gun. I believe he's GUILTY of MANSLAUGHTER because he was the PRODUCER of the film, and as an experienced actor, witnessed multiple mistakes by the armorer and did NOTHING about it. He allowed an unsafe workspace.

[@redman0027]

I agree 100%! If a boss willfully ignored someone in the most important safety position at a job, why shouldn't they be held responsible for that? As a producer he created an unsafe work environment. I think they were really focused on the wrong stuff during this conversation, his ability to prevent the tragedy before it got to the shooting in the first place is what they should focus on.

[@Evelyn-minoux]

Apples and oranges. It wasn't a Russian Roulette scene so dosen't apply at all. Also what about the individual who provided and supplied all the rounds why aren't they also being held legally responsible for allowing live rounds mixed in with the blank rounds? It was a terrible accident and a fluke and should be adjudicated as an accidental shooting.

[@naomimcewan9744]

Alec Baldwin knows the protocols for weapons, his father taught him when he was younger, he has worked with many many armourers and weapons over the years of his acting career, plus he lives in a state where there are open carry laws so i would assume that he probably has weapons personally, therefore he should be well trained in gun safety protocols. Being on a set makes no difference. If you are handed a gun you follow your NSP's (normal safety precautions). It was the very first thing I was taught when i was an armed forces cadet in my teens, it doesn't matter who hands you the gun, you check it yourself, you never point it at something you do not intend to shoot even if you have checked and cleared your weapon. You can't tell me that every armourer and weapons expert that Alec Baldwin has ever worked with failed to teach him basic gun safety, if they didn't then the entirety of hollywood armourers and weapons experts need firing and retraining, and every actor needs to undergo weapons handling proficiency testing prior to being offered a role where they are expected to handle even a prop weapon. I honestly don't think he intentionally fired the weapon, i certainly don't think he intended to hurt let alone kill someone, but here we are, he was the one in control of the weapon at the time, he pointed towards where people were standing and he shot two people, killing one. He was also the producer of the movie, meaning HE was ultimately the person responsible for everyones safety on set, HE was the one responsible for hiring an under qualified armourer, HE refused the training. So yes HE is guilty of unintentional manslaughter. Just like Hannah was, SHE was the neglectful in her job, SHE didn't check and remove every slightly suspicious round, SHE let others handle the weapons and the rounds, SHE did not make sure the weapons and rounds were ALWAYS either in her possession or locked away with her being the only one able to access them, so although she didn't fire the weapon, she didn't point it at anyone, she was however responsible for live rounds being missed, live rounds being loaded, and responsible for handing a loaded weapon to Alec. So BOTH are guilty. There is no excuse.

This case is simple: there are no separate laws that govern Hollywood behavior no matter how many pretend rules they make up for themselves. The laws of the state of New Mexico apply here. He pointed a real gun at someone without checking the gun to see if it was loaded, then by his own admission, he "cocked the gun". He denies pulling the trigger, but that claim has been disproven. So, he should be judged for his actions under the laws of the state of New Mexico.

[@wygantsh]

I am bewildered why Court TV brings on legal analysts for a trial about guns and manslaughter who a) don’t know the manslaughter statutes in New Mexico and b) cannot articulate the ultimate issue with respect to the negligent use of a firearm causing death. The negligent use of a firearm creates criminal responsibility whenever the actor points a gun at another human being then pulls the trigger resulting in death. There are no legal excuses for this type of murder. It is similar to strict liability where only actus reus has to be proven. The state of mind of the actor does not matter and neither does any assumptions about whether the gun was “cold” because ALL citizens are required to treat every gun as if it is loaded and never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to destroy

I'm still extremely shocked that there hardly is any discussion about the discruntled crew that quit and left that morning. Here is, from what I understand, some crew members who were extremely, extremely dissatsified ie., mad, and pissed and who complained about safety issues, most notably about stuff like this happening on set Then they all quit, and hours after they leave, the exact thing they complained about, happens. It is like an employee complaining about wet floors in the bathroom and that people could get hurt. But his boss says stop complaining and we are not going to pay you extra hours to come clean up wet floors cus its no big deal. Then the employee quits and as he goes out, he pours water all over the floor to prove his point. One of those crew memmbers could so easily have just planted the real bullets in. Maybe not put it in the gun (wouldn't be out of the question) but mixed in real bullets with the dummies, and they did it in spite. WHY was this scenario ever not seriously looked at? That crew was very disgruntled over safety issues pertaining to weapons, and then they quit, rolled out, and next we know, this happens.

[@Kay__Tee]

The state has shown the real bullets we’re on set before any crew were disgruntled

Hanna needs to shut up and let Halyna's family heal from her death. Every time she puts out a statement from jail, she rips open their scabs and nothing good will come from Hanna's family or lawyer making a statement. She needs to stfu, do her time then get back home to her family .... she's lucky that that's in her future bc its not for Halyna!

[@purplebutterfly5366]

I hope to God they show these phone calls in Court at Alec’s trial and my question why didn’t anyone show these phone calls at Hannah’s trial?

[@cristipratt2844]

Hannah is doing her time. Leave her out of this.

It was clearly Agent 47 that brought the live ammo on the set for a contract.

[@MYRRHfamily]

It’s a movie about people shooting each other. How can you blame him for acting? No, this will not get a guilty verdict.

[@AngeleyesLinda777]

He was the producer, he pointed gun, pulled trigger and shot the gun when it was not even in the script! He was in charge of safety, he is responsible!

Mr. Baldwin had the last clear chance to prevent the accident.

Was the accidental discharge preventable ?? Yes. There is video evidence of Baldwin pointing his gun directly at people and firing blanks. Baldwin was careless and wreckless with his firearm

How can they convict him when Hannah already went to jail for that responsibility? I’m seriously curious? I don’t know much about this trial

[@Kay__Tee]

More than one person’s reckless behavior can cause a death.

[@reneearnett8761]

@@Kay__Teeyea I obviously know that! I was legitimately wondering but thank you

[@Kay__Tee]

@@reneearnett8761 sorry, i didn't mean to be insulting. some folks dont understand that multiple people can be responsible. I guess I didn't understand the question. With Hannah unknowingly loading a live round and failing to notice, she was charged w/ involuntary manslaughter. With Baldwin pointing the gun at crew members, cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger, he also contributed to the death by violating safety protocols. It was the combination of reckless behavior on the part of both people that caused the incident. Hope that helps.

[@mmnsac7712]

I’m confused at why they are charging him with anything criminal.

[@pamelamls]

Because he shot and killed a woman.

[@user-pn5zs3fn9v]

How was he supposed to check it; he’s not a gun expert..

He's still supposed to use basic gun safety in handling the gun. That means not pointing it at crew and pulling the trigger.

It common sense, which people today don’t have sad

[@globe2555]

If Baldwin had checked his gun, and not been able to find a live round in it, would he then be held responsible for improper check capability? I mean real and fake rounds are almost similar. So, there needs to be a distinctive difference If you want to prevent failures from happening.

Did you see them? They look nothing alike never mind they rattle like crazy. He didn't check. He is supposed to.

There are lots of producers on the Rust film. He was one of them.

[@ausbertoreynoso7504]

I don't think he was as responsible as the person who has the job of making sure things are safe.

[@lostgaiter8755]

SO would you also argue the CEU of a hospital wasn't responsible for hiring an wack job of a surgeon, giving him another part-time job responsibility, lets say assisting the ER, and cutting all safety protocols to save money to not be responsible if a patient died of something basic like not checking from a drug allergy before administer a high dose of morphine? What if it was your mother?

They should’ve check the bullet for finger prints
