Everybody else would be immediately stopped by the bailiff and arrested if they purposely just got up and left for no reason. This is elitism at it's finest and is completely disgusting.

[@wldncrzy1971]

This is narcissism. He wanted coffee, so he was the most important person in the room and his needs mattered more than anyone else in that courtroom. It was rude, it sent the message he wanted it to send: he does what he wants with no consequences. That was his message. Full stop.

[@signalfire6]

Looks to me like he needed to get to the bathroom, fast.

@@signalfire6 that’s how he always looks…I think he has his assistant get him a coffee then went out to get it.

It was arrogant, but not illegal. You don't get arrested for leaving the courtroom. He's not in custody or anything.

[@wldncrzy1971]

@@TiaCatR I never said illegal…I said disrespectful and rude. And I stand by that. From the look on the judge’s face, she agrees..you excusing it is why he keeps acting like a petulant and spoiled BRAT. Js..

Not how the law works. First he gets a trial. Then if he gets convicted you move on to sentencing. By the way, the maximum sentence for this offense is 18 months.

[@jonluchessi1643]

You never point a firearm at a human being never, any real firearm that is capable of shooting a real bullet needs to be handled just like any responsible person handling any type of firearm, if the firearm was a fake gun something that was impossible to shoot a projectile then this would be different, that gun was a real firearm capable of shooting a real bullet it should be checked by every person handling that gun.

[@AryaStar-wg3wd]

OMG! !!! The jury was not in the courtroom yet, the court was on reassess time going through what they would let in or keep out as evidence. Most the time u can get up for bathroom or meds since there is no need for the defendant to be there when he's not in custody and things are between lawyers and the judge, but AB should fire his lawyers for the effups they keep doing.

[@tonypalermo5796]

[@toasttoasted3492]

DISMISS. The Investigator is in trouble 😮

[@William-z2u]

The media is the problem in this country. Alec Baldwin was seen leaving the courtroom and a witness saw him enter the restroom. He was back within minutes of not seconds. However, the title of this video is "Alec Baldwin walks out of his own trial." The title suggests that he walked out of the trial because he was angry or upset. So much for fact based coverage...

[@lorrainebaker1029]
