Alec Baldwin on trial for "Rust" shooting - Day 1

The first law enforcement member to arrive on the set of the film “Rust” the day cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed took the stand at Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial Wednesday.
Nicholas LeFleur, a former Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputy, testified that when he arrived, people were “running everywhere,” making his job challenging. He estimated there were at least 100 people at the scene.

Omg…this prosecutor bugs the h out of me.

This isn’t Bingo, you have to hear everything before you can make an informed educated judgement, but I understand your enthusiasm. 😂

[@jenessab9314]

Every time the defense was really making a good point The prosecution interrupted him.

[@Futureve]

Prosecution seems so unprepared 😢

[@user-ob1oi7kn2w]

She put me into a deep Zzzzzzzzzzzz with her boring opening.

[@jenessab9314]

The defense opening statement was amazing. I absolutely feel Alec Baldwin should be found not guilty.

[@ksenobite]

This is witch hunt, nothing else. I wonder why though

[@Futureve]

@@jenessab9314 Really? I had the opposite reaction. I personally thought he was way over the top, dramatic, acted out and not believable…

[@ruthcarter1360]

Who pulled trigger? Who was still acting with a real gun and bullet.. who was the producer?

[@torchwoodbbc2023]

Anyone who thinks he is not guilty you should think about this: if it were you, a non-celebrity, do you think you would get off after aiming a gun directly at the victim then claiming you did know it had live ammo and later lie about pulling the trigger on national TV. Innocent people don't lie unless you know you are guilty and attempted to buy your way out of it

[@ksenobite]

According to your worldview they would be still shooting Saving Private Ryan, if actors were responsible for the props How many rounds they shot in that film, machine guns, tanks and all 😂Safety people handle safety, actors act. People seem to have lost sense of reality. These are strange days

[@Pitti-nc9ot]

Who is that stern looking guy behind Baldwin?

[@ruthcarter1360]

That's his brother Stephen Baldwin

[@Pitti-nc9ot]

@@ruthcarter1360 thank you 👍

[@mecenas107]

Prosecution is completely disorganized. You cannot use a crime scene technician to explain in detail differences between live cartridges, dummies and blanks unless he or she are also qualified as firearms examiners. You need to put a firearms examiner first to do that then you can proceed to collection of evidence in some orderly manner.

[@Futureve]

@@mecenas107 totally agree with you.

[@karennilsson1916]

Funny he pays attention when his team are speaking! So disrespectful!

How can it be a miss trial - it is only in pre trial stage!! Charge him now with Murder 2!!!

[@hasmat-cl1hd]

Poor poor police work Another example of privilege for rich people Humans make lots of mistakes Regular people making decisions on guilty...should be done bye professionals Not regular dumb people..that's way to easy for guilty people to be found innocent

[@amandaj.barnes5919]

Where are the bullets? On the cart? How did they get removed from the gun. Did Hannah empty the gun?

Sloppy police work

[@martagoodrich4912]

Perhaps?

[@teddy.rose.88]

I need the tldr: did he know it was a real gun opposed to a prop?

[@fierro7771]

@@teddy.rose.88 yes, absolutely. But there was supposed to be blanks in the gun.

[@beckydavis747]

I agree guilty it would have just took 5 seconds to check the gun i guarantee if it was a family member he would have checked it but if he is found guilty he wont get as much time as the other 2 just because hes an actor😊

[@coleendelaquerra2202]

So unfair .....Alec needs to get the appropriate sentence as no one should be above the law.

[@coleendelaquerra2202]

Alec Baldwin is GUILTY!!!!!!

[@nadineetseszamimos3116]

Baldwin a dit a l enqueteur qu' il savait que il y avait des vraies ballles sur le plateau de tournage .......ouffffff

[@hasmat-cl1hd]

Alec pulled the trigger because he wanted to direct...ND was mad because he didn't wa nna take direction from a woman..he was playing with that gun...he was being careless..and a girl died because of HIM... GUILTY

[@carrollsanders9376]

No proof he pulled the trigger.

[@mecenas107]

Defense already admitted in their opening statement that actors act so when the scene calls for pulling the trigger that is what they do. They completely rely on the armorer or a prop master to hand them a "cold" gun that is not loaded with live ammunition. Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger - period. The only question is what was his obligation if any to make sure that there are no live rounds in this revolver. You could establish a common practice in the movie industry by calling on other directors/producers/actors to show what the practice is.

[@carrollsanders9376]

@@mecenas107 That isn't proof he pulled the trigger because the script didn't call for him doing that in that scene.

[@Futureve]

@@carrollsanders9376 it seems that prosecution has enough evidence to prove that he did…

[@Futureve]

@@mecenas107 the fact is that if they can prove that he pulled the trigger, then prosecution has a great chance to win: since it was during a blocking rehearsal, he was never supposed to pull on the trigger ESPECIALLY since the gun pointed directly at the DP and was very close to the camera.

There is no way of getting around this criminal case other than negligence which caused the deliberate death of Mrs. Hutchins.

[@colinmontgomery1956]

Prove it!

[@Mullaudek]

How does negligence cause anything deliberate?

[@coleendelaquerra2202]

@@Mullaudek he didn't bother to "first check" the firearm....😡

[@coleendelaquerra2202]

Meant to say which caused the tragic death of Mrs. Hutchins

[@Mullaudek]

I guess what I meant was if you are negligent in doing something that is inaction- so then it would be hard to have a deliberate action behind it.

[@universal-creator]

It was an accident not his fault

[@user-xc3vc9rh6i]

He was supposed to have taken training classes he chose not to so yes yes his fault

[@fierro7771]

Who said aim the gun at the camera with 2 people behind it? They're at fault as well.

[@dh12.]

😂 he broke every rule there is when handling a firearm on set. He's 100% guilty

[@beepboopbeep5456]

Rules of handling a firearm aren't laws.

[@dh12.]

@beepboopbeep5456 he still broke every rule, law, request or whatever the fuck you want to call it.

Guess we will never know because the prosecution and lead investigator and CST are all corrupt! Dismissed with prejudice!!!
