Re: Baldwin, why does it seem like his attorneys are basically saying the case was dismissed because he wasn't guilty? "From the moment Defendants and their agents set foot on the scene of the incident, it should have been apparent that Baldwin had no culpability." The case was dismissed because of misconduct in the investigation, not because he wasn't guilty, right?

[@DemxnTheyThem]

Correct. However, Kari Morressey's continued appeals and motions following the dismissal could be grounds for malicious prosecution-regardless of Baldwin's guilt or lack thereof

Accordingly, I kept my personal cell phone and phone # for all personal communications. Firewall between business and personal.

[@gothgammy666]

New Mexico prosecutors treated an accident like a premeditated homicide and every time they spoke publicly about the case the presumption of innocence was never asserted or assumed as required by the constitution. The prosecutors press conference statements were defamatory. Alec Baldwin had absolutely NO responsibility for safety on the set of the film, the prosecution gave a sweetheart deal to the man who in fact WAS responsible for on set safety, Dave Halls. The man who was supposed to check the prop gun before handing it to Alec Baldwin, he failed to check the gun but still called the weapon cold before hand it to Baldwin. Yet before they even knew that information they made definitive false statements about Baldwin’s responsibilities and then gave Dave Halls, the actual responsible party, the deal of a lifetime! Dave Halls history plus his plea deal lends a lot of credibility to Baldwin’s claims.

[@ashleyd2145]

also, the female gun prop tech is serving time for this incident! so we know the guilty parties. I just feel badly for the families of the victims.

[@minhduong1484]

Also the prosecution of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed should require a second look. She had more responsibility to ensure the guns were safe; however, if live ammo was brought onto the set without her knowledge, her culpability is less. One thing the prosecution criticized her method of determining live rounds vs dummy rounds. Dummy rounds have a little metal bearing inside that will rattle (I was told this). Her method was to shake the box of ammo to hear if the box was live or not. The prosecution call this method unreliable; however, the prosecution's own experts used this exact method when they determined which boxes of ammo were live at the warehouse where she sourced her ammo.

I’m always wary of “let me shove it down your throat.” Freedman is also getting former clients in the press pushing his agenda. Also, why is it taking him so long to file a counter suit and did he sue NYT first hoping to get their evidence “1000s of pages” in discovery so they have an idea what BL has?

In regards of the pumping question, it's worth noting that she never really invited him in her personal trailer. She merely told him what she was doing and where.

SAG handles talent only. Each union handles & controls something specific on set from teamsters, medic, etc. MPE (Editors union) decides who gets editing credit on a film based on amount of time, scenes, etc edited by that individual. ONLY JB editors are credited which means BL edits were nominal and didn’t meet the standard for credit. Only Sony Studio has “final edit tirebreak” on the final cut as the financier/distributor. Wayfarer can sue BL for an alleged “take over blackmail” as it was their project. Respectfully, as much as JB team is pushing that narrative, it’s impossible for an actor to “take over” as talent unless they have some financial contribution or film rights. TOO MANY ppl involved in this project as “bosses” above BL. I’m interested if Hoover had input. If Hoover also had creative differences with JB. I’m interested in what scenes were edited. Reminder in the behavioral rider agreement they signed, a specific agreed bullet point was SAG COMPLIANT approved intimacy scenes make final edit not any added or improvised intimate scenes without BL approval. With that said, was she in the editing room with JB based on that agreement? (Btw, super common for talent to be in editing with director for nudity, etc scenes or see dailies and have notes - most if not all A-list talent have that in their contract re: intimate scenes - Final Cut approval on s*x scenes). A lot of JB incidents on set that he complains about is not unusual from talent which is one reason why I question his credibility.

I'm not convinced that Morrissey's statement on Fox constitutes defamation. That to me sounds very much like she was presenting _the prosecution's legal theory of the case,_ which is ultimately opinion even if it's presented outside of the courtroom. I don't think it would be a good situation if we established a precedent that every time a prosecutor says something to the public about what they believe the defendant to have done, they become liable for defamation if the defendant is found not guilty.

Was that Morrissey? I thought it was her predecessor, the original Special Prosecutor?

@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Could be, I might have misheard. Either way, Baldwin is holding it up as evidence so.

I honestly don't like Alec B. But, he has a point. That prosecutor sucked.
