You’re right that is their job!

I agree it was the job of others to check the gun but I would only trust myself to check the gun when using a real gun that could kill someone if others did not do their job properly. To many variables to not take a quick check yourself. I would respect him and see his point if he would have shown remorse and said he should have checked the gun himself.

@@kimjohnson3918 Here’s what freaks me out with him “showing remorse” Alec is an actor for efin sake! Say he bawls his eyes 👀 out inconsolably 😭😭 Then this CANCEL CULTURE would say - BEST performance OF HIS CAREER! OMG - we can’t just hit the “go back” button - Halyna (daughter, wife & mother) is gone & that’s TRAGIC!

If it was during filming you would have to point the gun where you need the camera to shoot the scene.

@@debbiefreeman9481💯

@@debbiefreeman9481there are lots of ways to get a certain shot without actually pointing directly at someone. And there was no reason for Alec to have cocked the hammer or have his finger on the trigger. Hannah was reckless and shouldn’t ever be around guns. But Alec knew better from handling guns for years and failed in 3 ways. If he pointed without cocking the hammer, Halyna and Joel wouldn’t have been shot. If he didn’t have his finger on the trigger, it wouldn’t have gone off. There’s no excuse for Hannah’s reckless disregard for safety and there’s no excuse for Alec’s reckless disregard for safety

@@Samantha-zu3qeTHIS!

I don't think that works for a criminal case, it's not illegal to point a gun at someone. It was a pretend, controlled world like Disneyland cars are to us. Someone else checks safety. If I point the steering wheel at someone and it goes off track and kills them, I'm not criminally negligent just because I turned the steering wheel towards them. People could say 'You don't steer cars toward people! Everyone knows that! ' True! But there's a mediator that makes the car a prop/toy, and that removes my accountability to treat it like it's real, even tho it has an engine, wheels, tires, steering wheel. Disneyland was hired to make this a non real set for me. Hannah was hired so Alec could be in character, and play out a scene for a movie that isn't real. Hannah was hired to make the gun a prop/toy, not real. Look at Alec's face as he pulls out the gun, he's fully in character, and not Alec. He's in a movie set, and it's not real.

Agreed 💯 percent!

Halyna was part of that chain. She knew there was a way to get the shot without pointing a gun at anybody but setting that up would have taken a lot of time (which means money) and they were on a budget. So instead she said, "Point the gun at me, Alec." A shame.

@@Brucebod if he uses that as part of his defense…. Ugh.

I’m Hannah’s trial there was mention of several people goofing around and target shooting during lunch break. I think they might be when a live round was left in chamber.

At least she didn’t bring the baby this time. 🙄

Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee’s son. A blank killed a young up and coming star back in the 80s too, I remember it. Any projectile from a firearm could kill somebody, for sure.

Gee, when I heard that rant, I felt that Alec is human just like the rest of us with a sassy preteen daughter. Woe be it that any one of say something to their kid that they wish they would take back.

@@caldonia7208 I know that he and Basinger had been going through a terrible, prolonged child custody battle, but the way he spoke to her was extremely concerning. He took out his rage at his ex on their daughter who was just 11. He had shown hotheaded, drunken rage many times already. I think it was most awful that it became public but that’s the price of fame and money sometimes.

Walking out of court today he was angry! He didn’t like being called a liar. Arms folded, looks could unalive someone and he walked out!

Hi Lauren that one witness who continually claimed "i dont recall" changed her story was annoying

Also Alec was self soothing or agitated he was rocking himself right before he got up! Please Dr. John your thoughts on this incident???

Yea. Same,I watched a few of his interviews and he seems to be spinning in grief and pain. But like most people his age he has to kinda act tough in public. I grew up in TX with guns and my dad was very much a safety first person ❤️👍

I know it’s off topic but recently there was a nurse in the Qeuh who a accidentally administered the wrong medication ( for a syringe driver 30 mil syringe made up with alfentanyl to be given over 24hours then there was another 20 ml syringe made up of Iv amoxicillin given over 5 min) the nurse picked up what he thought was the Amoxicillin and killed the patient instantly 🥲🥲🥲💔💔💔horrendous for patient, loved ones and also for the nurse, I and all my nursing colleagues honestly felt and still feel ill thinking about this as with staffing shortages at a ridiculously low we all could understand how this horrendous drug error was made, the poor nurse apparently has attempted suicide ( I’d be the same tbh as to live knowing I’ve taken another’s life would be to unbearable) he’s at the moment going through court proceedings of being charged with manslaughter, staffing numbers still remain ridiculously unsafe so this type of error is bound to happen again, the pressure is awful, I feel for all involved in this case as to have to live with the awful consequences of this must be a living nightmare, tbh I haven’t followed the case partly because it feels to close to the bone knowing how awful I feel for the nurse and the poor family suffering the horrendous loss 💔💔💔

YES, 100% agree with you

I have to agree so far. Since when do actors NOT pull triggers in movies with guns???

Everyone cares, the Gutierrez Reed trial was all about that. She was convicted of negligent homicide bc of it

This was thoroughly addressed in the Gutierrez-Reed/armorer trial.

Almost like a set up

That’s not at issue in this case. It ended up in Alec’s gun and he then failed at implementing basic firearm safety. He was reckless with guns on set and Hannah was reckless in so many ways it’s insane. However it got into set, if Alec had been following basic firearm safety protocols, Halyna and Joel wouldn’t have been shot.

His very entitled cup of coffee!!

@@susanjay7347 If your defending him, then I'll say he asks for a break and his lawyer says to the judge they need a break.

Both sides try to sway jury. Pros. can exaggerate or squeeze in irrelevant things. Defence does the same. Mountain out of a mole hill. There was no intent to harm by anyone. Well maybe whoever put the real bullet in the gun. My 2 cents.

@@jeaniechampagne8831……if I get in a car and drive drunk and I kill someone, I’m not meaning to do it. I would still be guilty of manslaughter. If I’m not drunk but driving 100mph in a 35 mph zone and someone steps off the curb and I hit them, I’m reckless but I’m not trying to kill anyone. It’s still reckless or manslaughter. If I swerve my car and hit someone on purpose, that’s murder. No one is saying Baldwin was trying to kill anyone. He wasn’t but he had an unsafe environment and he pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger. Now, that person is dead. You never point a gun at someone and pull the trigger. Even on movie sets you are to aim to the side of the person. Alec was reckless. It’s sad but he can’t get a pass because he was good in Beetlejuice or something.

I think with today the defense was poking holes at the investigation. 'You didn't search thoroughly enough, you 'hid' info the Good Samaritan provided' He has made the assertion that they were out to get Baldwin.

The red herring is the charges against an actor in this situation --to shift focus that they don't have the evidence of the burning question of how live rounds ended up on a movie set. THAT is the crime --and they cannot prove because of the terrible investigation. Why bother hiring armorers if it's ultimately the actors' responsibility?

@bethechange3youwanttosee461 Stop looking at it as such a big fan! His negligence got her killed. Hannah is ALSO guilty and she had her day in court. Just because she is guilty does NOT make him innocent!

I think this as well. They didn’t have enough dummies and she was trying to make her own. I do believe the real bullets got mixed with blanks or dummies. They had a terrible, unsafe situation and that was not entirely of Hannah’s making. Seth and Sarah should also have been charged in my opinion.

Could be possible. Still, there should never be live rounds on the set. It blows my mind. And 13 real guns

I don't think she was attempting to make her own but I'll think on it further. I don't remember the details but they also did practice shooting with live rounds during a break or something. Dunno the extent of that though. I think she was just messy, disorganized and mixed them up

Good theory. Because her father was known to do the same.

Interesting theory

Never

Was that verified. I read articles bout it but have trouble remembering if it was brought up last trial

@@AtalinayI don’t think it was ever verified, but I still believe it’s likely that the crew and maybe even cast members (not Baldwin, not saying he did this) may have shot rounds. I felt all along since the shooting incident occurred that much was being covered up at the scene before the police arrived for example, as they never truly secured the scene. I think from the early hours or days, it was believed to have been an accidental shooting incident. I think police (unintentionally) mismanaged the scene and most likely mishandled evidence, and now we know that the prosecution did also, because they were covering up evidence or potentially damaging evidence to their prosecution of Baldwin. I think it could have been an attempt to make sure they had the conviction at least of Hannah Gutierrez Reed. While I think it likely she was guilty of being a negligent person on the set, I feel her defense does need to seek to have her case dismissed too. The prosecution and the police messed up big time by hiding information and evidence, regardless of their reasoning. Just my opinions, of course! The best remedy for Halyna Hutchins and her family, is most likely financial and to protect her own legacy in filmmaking. The family deserves that much. I do believe it was an entirely preventable accident and not done with malicious intent.

Not the first time, won't be the last time

Agree

But, it was his responsibility to ensure that the weapon was not loaded. There were multiple people who failed at that. It was also his responsibility not to aim at a person and pull the trigger. In Alex's own words he has been in movies and knows gun safety. He violated all the safety rules around guns. His father taught firearm safety, so he knows.

@@shellbell7316 Was it? Says who? It’s not like shooting a gun on the street. This was a movie set. That’s what the other people were there for, to give him a safe gun to shoot wherever he was told to shoot.

He was handed the gun and told the gun was cold. Bottom line and the ammunition came from Seth.

@marybethwelchcollins6673 It was a movie set that used a real gun capable of causing harm. He failed to perform safety checks.

I ran up to check it out and from all I could see, he went to the bathroom.

I think it’s probably stress and age. He’s 66 years old, and I do believe that he’s aged a lot in the past few years since even before this incident. I don’t think it’s an act.

He had hip replacement surgery not too long ago. And he's getting older.

You can see the physical issues in scenes they show from filming Rust. His posture is flexed, he walks with a very forced arm swing when his arms swing,.... watched him getting out of SUV limo, it wasn't fluid.

Ok!

@@HiddenTrueCrime thanks!

Would love this too, I have always admired Gloria Allred.

I agree 100% that’s why you hire them! I don’t care for Alec but he’s not guilty. Seth provided the bullets

Me either. A stretch.

😂😂

Lol my pastor and his wife are in Albuquerque right now visiting family and she told me the same thing today

Of course you heard that. Everyone who dies from an accident or natural causes was about to expose something.

There were live rounds in other actor's gunbelts,too. Tragedy was bound to happen.

Accidents and deaths have happened bc of blanks though which are not live bullets.

Blank rounds at that close range could cause serious harm. The gun was announced cold and was expected to have dummies not blanks. (Dummies don't have gunpowder, many make a rattle or have a hole on the side)
