Lawyer Reacts: Shocking details in the new Rust Lawsuit, Erika Girardi facing lawsuit in Illinois

[@jojojersey8190]

Great breakdown of Rust lawsuits. It's so much worse than I thought. The fact that there were numerous chances to prevent this happening is horrific. And that crew quit that VERY day due to safety protocols not being followed. I think at first we were told that the script called for Baldwin to fire the gun towards the camera. Obviously that wasn't the case at all. What an awful mess and this poor woman lost her life and it never should have happened! It's heartbreaking. Thx for always breaking down and clearly explaining the details...it's much appreciated!

[@DanisMediaCorner]

I appreciate you covering the 'Rust' lawsuits! As someone studying to go into film, my professor (who has been working in the film industry for years) has been keeping us up to date on new information and we've discussed what's been going on in class. As I understand it, the armorer or prop master is the only person who should ever be handling a gun on set, besides an actor handling the gun while shooting a scene. The 1st AD should not have handed the gun to Alec Baldwin, that's not his job. Also, all of these safety violations are extremely troubling because the 1st AD is the main person in charge of safety on set. A safety meeting is supposed to be held at the beginning of the day to inform all cast and crew of anything they should be aware of regarding safety while shooting for the day. Lastly, the fact that the gun was not supposed to be fired at all is one of the most head-spinning aspects of this tragedy.

[@justanotherjessica]

"Lastly, the fact that the gun was not supposed to be fired at all is one of the most head-spinning aspects of this tragedy." Apparently they had several problems with the gun firing when being removed from a holster. I am lost on why they did not replace the gun when it fired by mistake the first time. Like, that's a HUGE red flag!!!

[@michaelkenner3289]

I studied film over a decade ago. Back then our teachers would use the tragic death of Brandon Lee as the example in our discussions of safety procedure on the set. I'm guessing for the near future this event is now going to be coming up in all the film classes. What strikes me the most from what I learned is that most films will make a sharp distinction between scenes that involve firing a weapon and ones that don't. They're treated very differently. If this scene didn't have the gun being shot it wouldn't have needed pyrotechnics or even blanks to be loaded. Maybe a dummy round that just visually looks like one in the chamber if it's going to visible. Usually you wouldn't even be using a functional gun for scenes like this. Until you need to fire the gun, there's no reason it should be capable of firing.

[@luanamcdonald1243]

With no shooting scenes scheduled IMO it was Alec just being "Alec" the rules seem to not apply to him or so he thought. Its just such a terrible tragic incident, I think blaming everyone but Alec is wrong. He shouldn't been given that gun at all, I can imagine him being very persuasive.

40:30 in this case the cylinder doesn't swing open it has a loading port used for checking to see if loaded or load and unload. This is no excuse of time, opening the loading port and spinning the cylinder will quickly show all the chambers. Baldwin is now saying that he didn't pull the trigger, any competent gunsmith can check for this type of malfunction. I doubt any malfunction, it's most likely an inexperienced person practicing a quickdraw and pulling the trigger. This reeks of negligence in so many ways, it's criminal.

[@mjinba07]

Rust: As a psychotherapist for over 30 years I can assure you that not all traumas result in PTSD. And there's such a thing as acute traumatic stress disorder, in which the person suffers significant and disruptive distress after a trauma but it mostly resolves within a month. PTSD can be expected in about 20% of trauma cases. This is important. "Rust" is a highly publicized case and, regardless of the legal arguments, the general public should not be under the impression that just because a person has been exposed to a trauma they should expect to be deeply and chronically traumatized. Resiliency is far more common.

I was props mistress in my high school theatre and we had a FAKE gun that we painted gold so it could absolutely not be mistaken for a real gun and i was still the only person allowed to touch it except for the actor on stage. and that was because i was the one responsible for it not being perceived as a threat in any way. so the fact that an assistant director(not prop master) was allowed to handle a gun and give it to an actor is beyond me. i highly doubt the assistant director had gun safety training. i still think Baldwin needed to check it before cocking it and firing for absolutely no reason but the whole procedure is so backwards that my high school theatre props crew did it better.

[@sharonmcnally4712]

Why haven't we heard from any of the Rust crew that quit prior to the shooting because the set was "unsafe." Were all them required to sign an NDA? I also find Baldwin's recent statement that the gun just went off unbelievable because he didn't claim this until what two weeks after the incident.

[@Satarack]

"Why did they have live ammunition?" According to Mark Groubert on Eric Hunley's channel, small indie movies will reduce their costs by buying live ammunition and converting them into blanks themselves instead of buying blanks in bulk from the big studios at higher prices. The live ammunition is still never supposed to make to onto the set, it's supposed to be converted into blanks off set.

Not excusing all of the other bad behavior but I want to make this point: When an actor has limited access to a prop that they need to be proficient with, they will practice every second they can. I had to wear an antique dress for a show and only had a few rehearsals and the shows to wear it, so I spent a ton of time practicing entering and exiting the dress because I needed to do costume change as quickly as possible. I can imagine Baldwin doing the same with the firearm: the scene didn't call for him to cock and shoot, but in order to build familiarity with limited access, he would be practicing for other scenes. That in no way excuses him for POINTING IT AT SOMEONE. Never. Ever.

[@time4me2fly94]

He was supposed to take a complete training course before filming, as mandated by the safety protocols. He chose not to take the class. Idiot.

[@mjinba07]

Agree agree agree. Just want to add, though, that anyone who doesn't handle guns frequently and regularly is at a noticeable disadvantage. Being acutely aware of where the barrel is pointed at all times, what's in the background of that field, whether your finger is inside the trigger guard or not, always always checking the chambers even if you just saw someone else do it, and presuming lethality rather than safety - these habits are not developed by folks who don't live a "firearms lifestyle." And they need to be habits, especially in situations where the handler's primary focus is on something else, or half a dozen something elses. I suppose that's why the movie industry employs armorers.

It struck Lee with virtually the same force as a live round but it wasn’t a live round.

40:30 I have read that the gun was supposed to be loaded with dummy cartridges for the scene. Dummies look like full live round cartridges but have no gunpowder. They are not the same as blanks, which do not have the projectile end and do not look like live rounds. The gun was not supposed to be empty because in the scene the gun would have to be on camera and appear to be loaded. You can't fire a dummy so the contention that the scene did not call for firing the gun sounds consistent. The armorer would have to have shown Baldwin that the rounds were dummies, which I think are supposed to be marked on the bottoms in some way.

This was not necessarily a "likely result" as stated in the lawsuit being discussed. There was an intentional act that put this chain of events into motion. Several stations after the gun was loaded should have made followup checks before it was delivered into Baldwin's hands. This leads to Deception to bypass protocol that demands intervening examination of the weapon, (I.E.: did the perp hand the gun directly to the AD telling her it was cold.knowing she was not trained in protocol?) The perpetrator who loaded the live bullet must first be determined. The following chain of custody is critical to any further accusations of intent or negligence.

Thanks for the Canadian Thanksgiving shoutout. We actually celebrate earlier than you (second Monday in October) simply because, being further north, we harvest before you. 🇨🇦🦃🇺🇸🦃

[@007nadineL]

Lots of usa land is more north than parts of Canada Weird

[@spiritofanu3112]

@@007nadineL some land is for sure. I do not know why except that has been the date for Thanksgiving since 1879 in Canada and that is what I learned in school. It may have more to do with aligning what was then a fairly new country with strong ties to Britain a and France so maybe the holiday is more tied to European harvest celebrations. For sure Aboriginal cultures had their own harvest celebrations at the time. Maybe a combination of many reasons for the date. Just different, not weird.

Look up what George Clooney had to say about this. He really pushed Baldwin over the coals. George was good friends of Brandon Lee who was also killed by a gun on the set of a movie. He talks about safety and stupidity.

They are survivors because they outlived the people who died. To survive is to outlive, usually an incident or event but also a person. It is common when someone dies to say they are survived by their relatives.

She’s not dumb….she was simply commenting that the term doesn’t sound “right” considering she is talking about an plane crash. I’m quite sure 100% of EB’s viewers understand what a survivor is.

Not inclined to buy all sorts of conspiracies but...the big BUT, something ODD has happened on this set and the evidence so far does not convince me that this was not -*something else*... We'll just have to wait and see what comes up in court.

Happy Thanksgiving! Canada's Thanksgiving is early October.😊

Emily, you are truly a great litigator/KZbinr because over the past few months, you’ve made me obsessively interested in those awful women, Erika Jayne and Jen Shah. I’m even watching Real Housewives of SLC because of you. I don’t know whether to thank you or sue you! 🤔

iirc the gun was a colt singla action army replica so it wouldn't be as easy to check as you suggest cause the cylinder doesn't swing out but it's still not hard to do

[@tammykoble236]

I have some serious concerns with this case - it seems like this would be the perfect way to murder someone. Set up an 'accident waiting to happen' by hiring the most well known unsafest people in the trade so everyone would focus on them!

[@queenria7]

Interesting thought. But how would the murderer make sure the 'right' person got killed, unless he were to pull the trigger himself?

[@justsugarsweet]

My thoughts too. This was planned/intentional IMO.

[@westcoastgaming4124]

Interesting that she didn’t say in ur statement to the police about the direction that Alac claims he was given to draw the hammer back. Would def make the the situation more interring if Alac was just fucking around with the gun and it went off.

[@drowneymckill-a-listener8923]

Rule #1. ALWAYS assume a firearm is loaded and ready to go. Rule #2. CHECK to make sure it is unloaded. Rule #3. DON'T point a gun at ANYTHING that you don't mind obliterating Rule #4. DONT put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Rule #5. See rule #1

[@bonnie4241]

God bless and be with you, Emily. We know this isn't pleasant for you and it's just such a gut wrentching thing to cover. It never gets easy, if it did, there would be more people like you --- and there isn't! You truly are one in a million, I appreciate you and we know there are many more who do as well. Keep up the great work that you do, but also take good care of you. It's OK to take time for yourself and your family.

Rust: So so so many instances of improper gun safety and so many instances of failure in a row. This could have been stopped at so many points, but there is also the question of why is a trigger squeeze necessary for blocking? Brandishing should have been sufficient.

[@amymusick5455]

It would be nice if her statement gave more information on what A.B. was doing when she looked up.

[@Alexandra_Wolf]

So many actors, huge actors, said they have never even HEARD of the term “cold gun”, that the daughter of the ammory expert made statements claiming to feel “not be ready” to do a film this big, and it makes no sense that they hired her except to save money. Seeing Alex Baldwin and his wife pull over on the side of the road to have words with paparazzi you could see both of their insane egos, demanding they call the victim by her name but then refusing to take ownership when Alec was the person responsible for a lot of decisions made to ave money. He has been on enough sets and was an adult when this happened on “the crow”, so he should have had enough knowledge to have made better decisions. I find it so insulting the way he almost bragged about spending time with her family, as few days later the husband made the decision to go forward legally after AB.

[@hazelangus]

It's so helpful, for me, to go back and look at these early Rust breakdowns. It brings back how terrible this was for all concerned. It also really shows how big the consequences of Kari Morrissey's misconduct and failure are. Whether Alec would have been found guilty or not is impossible to know, but Morrissey made that possibility Impossible.

[@gregorymaupin6388]

Her where was I to go statement was indicative of just how dependent she was on him & reveals just how insecure she was to go rogue...even his affairs didn't run her off!

The Nathan Klingher referred to here, who was being sued by Mitchell - he's one of the people who testified at Hannah's recent criminal trial - the producer with the incredible hair. Full of bounce and volume but tamed enough, no doubt by some sort of invisible product, to never fall into his eyes. Absolutely glorious, I thought. Did Mitchell settle with him? I don't remember.

Hi everyone Canadian Thanksgiving October around 4 the Here's a little American history.. American Thanksgiving was around October 1st. Around the same time as the Canadian. But Congress voted to change the Thankguving so the politician could have a longer a holiday season this took place around the middle of the 1900 So they moved Thanksgiving..Canada never changed

[@lornetc]

And Canadian Thanksgiving was invented because the politicians and businessmen wanted a bank holiday in October.
