Someone in her position should know how to act with the utmost professionalism and yet she has bad mouthed Baldwin on a personal level, publicly. I neither like him or dislike him, although I have seen that he is like many actors, struggling with failure to launch syndrome, but for someone in her role to call him a C**k sucker in public is an appalling lack of decorum and says more about her than him.

@@amyb347 I have never watched suits, I stopped watching tv years ago, but every lawyer in a courtroom has a team behind him doing the work. Paras don't work days, they work months and in some cases they work years on a case. That core team are the Address of Service, they maintain the documents, the evidence, they manage all communications incoming and outgoing and are responsible for the communications that comes from the courts and the judge, and the other side. They know it all intimately. In fact, the people working on that team, all their names are at the other end too so the court knows who it went to, who is responsible. It's a massive job and on a big case, it cannot be just one person. The research part of the team ensures all they discover goes to them, and again...more than one person. These high level lawyers pull in very large hourly rate, and people think they are being paid too much, but out of that rate they pay their team. At some point, the records will be made public and be discussed. Cases are used in law school as teaching material as well, so, everything will be there.

The defense themselves knew it wasn’t favorable to them, it was just the fact that it was withheld that caused the case to be thrown out. That ammo box may have been where the live round came from, but there is no true way of finding that out. Those rounds were mixed and transported to so many different places since the 1883 set. It was no way favorable to the defence where the round came from. Their goal was to prove he wasn’t criminally negligent with the firearm.

[@beesinthetrees]

That man is broken. I genuinely feel bad for him, and if you told me years ago that I'd ever feel bad for Alec Baldwin, I would've laughed in your face. Obviously Halyna is the biggest victim given she lost her life from a freak accident, but I cant imagine the trauma of being the one who pulled the trigger without even imagine something like that could happen. I genuinely hope he's in therapy, especially after being dragged into court wrongfully like this.

​@@TempoMontagesWhen you're a convicted felon you can't even be in possession of a functional firearm even one loaded with blanks. Mark Wahlberg, prime example. He tried even getting it the restriction lifted but he couldn't. My point is, even if an armorer on a Hollywood movie set hands you a "prop gun" it's still considered by law to be a firearm. Alec wasn't found not guilty, it was prosecutor misconduct that got the case dismissed. Obviously you've missed that point.

@@ianmilleris In the U.S. there are basic gun safety practices, with the overall theme that once it is in your hands, everything that happens with that firearm is on you.

He was charged with aiming, cocking, and discharging a live firearm that he believed was loaded with blanks, but he also knew could be loaded with real ammo, which was against film industry safety because that has killed people on set.

[@eddiehartsfield9012]

@@DLC-sy7pp It’s called a misfire. There had already been two misfires on location in the couple of days previous to the accident. They were using old vintage firearms and the armourer clearly didn’t know how to handle them properly, or it’s possible that they rented faulty ones. Those guns that misfired had blanks in them but, for some odd reason, the one handed to Alec Baldwin had several live rounds. The whole thing is really suspicious. Full disclosure: I was once had to use a vintage firearm in a play. I was supposed to shoot at another actor standing at the opposite end of the stage (safe distance). One night, before going on stage for the murder scene, I set it down on the dressing room chair next to mine and it suddenly went off. The blank blew out and lodged into a costume. I was very relieved that there wasn’t another actor nearby, because it could’ve injured them terribly. That was a misfire. Unfortunately, the propmaster was nowhere to be found, and I had to go on stage with an empty gun, and it only made a “click” when I shot the bad guy. I didn’t have time to tell him either. He stared at me wondering when I was going to shoot him, but quickly figured out what had happened and dropped to the ground like he was dead. So embarrassing and anticlimactic. It was all I could do to keep from cracking up. 😅

[@DLC-sy7pp]

@@eddiehartsfield9012 Yeah I understand the complexities but again, how did live rounds even get on the set when they only use blanks? And why hire an incompetent firearms specialist, if they were incompetent.

[@eddiehartsfield9012]

@@DLC-sy7pp True, the big mystery is how the live rounds got on set in the first place! Ultimately, however, that is also the responsibility of the armourer - to control everything related to weapons on set. As for her hiring, that would’ve been done by the production company overseeing the filming, Thomasville Pictures. She might not have seemed like an incompetent hire, given that her father is a renowned, highly experienced, armourer himself. So maybe they were just bamboozled into thinking that she would be great? However, the film crew and staff were extremely upset with how they were running the production, and Alec Baldwin was actually siding with the crew in these disputes. Baldwin, like the other funding producers, were not running day-to-day operations. That was the job of the production company and the line producer. I don’t know all the exact details but deadline Hollywood had numerous articles about how this all played out, much of it way over my head. I read a comment from someone in the New York Times, who sounded like they were experienced with the finance end of how these productions work, and they referred to an article in deadline Hollywood that detailed that the production company was possibly “short sheeting” the film. So maybe they were cutting costs and corners because they would be allowed to keep what they didn’t spend? In which case, maybe they did hire her just to save money. There were also rumors that some people working on the film were doing target practice nearby as recreation when not filming. If true, that seems to be the most likely route for the live ammo to end up on set. In other words, the armourer ran a sloppy ship.

@@jeremiahthompson8951 I don't think you realize he was on a movie set on private property. You don't need a license to carry on private property anywhere in the United States.

I agree with this, I think it was a tragic accident and if he was told it was a “cold gun” by the people in charge of the props, he had no reason to think otherwise

Never liked Alec Baldwin but the decision to dismiss this case was correct. How many defendents in the past did this prosecuter railroad. It should be looked into.

Imagine if Trump wasn’t Trump in the NY case. His case would be thrown out also. This whole entire judiciary system is broken and a joke!

This Prosecutor was trying to Make a Name for Herself.😏 What a total &. utter Disgrace.‼️

She made a name for herself but not in the way she wanted to. What a clown.

I feel that there was someone trying to set up Alec Baldwin.. For what, not sure but it's sad for the family of the deceased and also for the Baldwin family.

[@MeltedPearls]

Agreed. That's been my strong feeling all along.

[@WarJakEnterprises]

Exactly my thought & the weapon handler should be the one prosecuted!

[@Kryssyskingdom]

1/2 doz Bullets floating around on the set like Russian roulette... Honestly I don't think it was a set up on him but rather on Rust itself

[@dalerhea2990]

@@WarJakEnterprises Exactly, made me think about The Crow and how Brandon Lee was murdered.. Someone should have triple checked the gun on the Baldwin set. Regardless if its a stunt gun or not

[@dalerhea2990]

@@Kryssyskingdom Yeah, like it could have been someone out to ruin a few peoples lives all in all.. When the story first came out; it set wrong in my gut.. Just every bit of it wasn't right.. Didn't they even say that there was several people that were in charge of the stunt weapons? I remember reading an article that a couple of the stunt guns had been swapped out at the last second. And I just hate to see someone who was innocent have to go through this trauma, and then also someone died because of it. It's just really sad

Can't resist: Does this judge moonlight as a ventriloquist?

Alec Baldwin in my opinion is not the most well behaved individual to put it lightly. However in my opinion, the judge got it right.
