This is so heartbreaking. Seeing the last hours of her life portrayed in front of the world must be so hard for her family and is not what she deserved. Nor anyone else.😞
@@nicenessispriceless2681 she could be annoyed because she had to object to the defenses opening statement three times. Just the opening statement. That would sour my attitude
It’s called narcissism, she was obsessed with gaining as much notoriety from the misfortune of a famous actor no matter who else gets hurt in the process. Forget justice, winning at all costs including deliberately withholding evidence clearly showing that there were at least two other people other than Gutierrez-Reed who were responsible for live rounds being anywhere near that set let alone being in the gun. Amoral people like Kari Morrisey and Ken Kratz Should never be allowed to hold positions of authority and trust.
@@nicenessispriceless2681 I’ve only just seen the video of “Day 1”. The defence lawyer pretty much sums up the whole thing which is confirmed with the video…I assume filmed by the ultimate victim. It is clear from the defence’s opening statement that Baldwin is totally innocent in this. When we hear the evidence that was hidden by the prosecution, we see clearly that Baldwin is the last person who should be on trial. There are at least two others plus the prosecution for deliberately withholding evidence.
This is a big stretch by the prosecution. Actor standing in front of a camera is handed a prop /firearm and is expected to immediately check the gun and distinguish between dummy rounds and real rounds. This doesn’t belong in a criminal court. The armorer was already convicted. The prosecutors love the publicity. Hopefully the jury comes back with a quick not guilty.
He was also a Producer. His duty of care goes beyond that of an actor. So ultimately he actually is responsible. He is also responsible for the hiring of the inexperienced armourer who has been convicted. The way he carries on during pretty much every movie he's been on ultimately leading him to be the B grade actor he is today... well...? We all saw him back peddle and lie about pulling that trigger He pulled the trigger. He did. There's no getting away from that.
Well... it's not ideal but with a cop there and bodycam running it's not like they could really collude. If anything it all comes across as genuinely trying to work out what went wrong. I don't think it hurt's Baldwin nearly as much as the prosecutor seems to think.
What a waste of time. There were to be no live rounds on set - THE most important industry standard. The armorer allowed live rounds on set. The armorer allowed actors to continue to hold guns between takes, which is also against rules. The armorer failed in many, many areas. She loaded the gun with a live round and many other live rounds were found in her possession - on set. The armorer cleared the gun as safe. The assistant director THEN also cleared the gun as safe and not able to harm anyone. Alec Baldwin did what every other actor does in any other film that has guns as part of a scene. He absolutely expected the gun to be safe and incapable of harming anyone. There was no foreseeable expectation that the gun could harm anyone. Alec Baldwin committed no crime.
Let's take this to a different perspective - I work as a bartender for someone who owns the place. The bar owner purchases all the liquor for the establishment. The bartender serves a drink for which the liquor was poisoned during the manufacturing. The patron immediately died after his first sip. Is it the bartender's fault or the owner's for purchasing the liquor, or is it the distributor's fault. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE BARTENDER!!
Someone hands you a gun and tells you it's not loaded, you take their word and fire it at a person or do you check yourself? User is always responsible to check. I'm not taking anyone's word for it when I fire a gun. PERIOD. There are layers of responsibility.
From what I'm seeing, Baldwin's attorney is not a criminal trial attorney. He keeps making rookie criminal procedure mistakes and you can see the prosecutor's exasperation. It's hard to conduct a trial when the other side doesn't know what he's doing. He may do civil trial work, but that is a totally different animal from criminal work.
@@greeniejoey You should probably google him before you say something hilariously incorrect like that. Alex Spiro is one of the nation's preeminent trial attorneys, at a firm that specializes in developing trial attorneys.
@@Glubtubis_Wepal69 Alex belongs in prison but Spiro is one of the best lawyers i've seen. It's not really technical skill it's more about how convincing you are to a jury.
This is a waste of tax payer dollars hes obviously not responsible for her death. They arrested the right person who's job it was to load that gun. I don't like the guy either but he doesn't deserve to go to prison.
This prosecutor is a pain to watch. The eye glass thing and lean in is absurdly cringe. This first witness is pointless. Has nothing to add to the matter at hand.
He was also a Producer on this film. His duty of care goes beyond that of an actor. Every safety precaution should have been in place. They and thems there are the facts . As a Producer and secondly as an actor he is at fault. No getting around it. His giant ego in all aspects of this production was front and centre stage from the getgo. An actor ? He was much more than that. And now he's producing his defence.
I don’t care if the gun was checked by 37 navy seal scout snipers before it got to me, I’m checking the mother fuccer, twice, with my own eyeballs, not to mention an emo chick with multicolored hair and ear gauges telling me the gun is safe. I mean, really Alec, seriously bro?
I wouldn`t be able to distinguish real cartridges from blank cartridges. Do your children already learn this in kindergarten because they are getting guns as birthday presents? Things are going wrong in the USA with all that guns in every home...
@@ronaldschutt2877 Ronald, No offense but you're letting your politics cloud your logic.Keep an open mind as I explain.... This has nothing to do with US gun culture. Movie sets the world-over use firearms and the reason Alec Baldwin should and does know the difference between blank, dummy, and real live rounds is because he has been making films with guns for 44 years. In fact, during Baldwin's police interview he made a point to state that he knew how to tell the difference between various cartridge types. Here's some relevant information for you. In this case the gun was loaded with dummy rounds (and a live round). Why I have no idea as it was just a rehearsal and there was zero need for the camera to actually show rounds in the firearm. So no need for rounds at all. Regardless, dummy rounds are very easy to identify. One, they have a BB (metal ball) inside them so that when you shake them they rattle. Two, these particular dummy rounds had holes in the primers proving they won't and can't fire. So yes Baldwin could have easily confirmed that the gun did not have live rounds in it. What's more there are a dozen ways he personally could have avoided his tragedy. Just a few are to keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Just off to the side of the camera. Or turn the camera on, get it in focus, and them move everyone out of the way before pointing the gun and pulling the trigger. Or, and this is my favorite, use a NON FUNCTIONING GUN. Not a real gun. Cheers from America.
Just so you know. With a revolver, if you pull the hammer(not the trigger) back almost all the way but not untill it quite latches and then you either release it suddenly or it slips out of your finger before it reaches full cock, the gun may fire. This may be what happened. However even with blanks, when they are fired, unless the barrel is plugged, which for a movie would show, there will be some discharge of material from the barrel, probably not enough to kill but enough to say, put an eye out or leave a skin burn. That's why you NEVER point a gun at someone you don't intend to injure. That is Baldwin's error. John Wayne or Roy Rogers would have known this. Baldwin maybe not!
Nobody seems to favor the prosecutor, maybe this whole trial was designed that way, let’s choose a prosecutor the public will not like. Who knows with these trials. Notice the handsome looking defense lawyer like they’re trying to get the public to favor the defense.
@@victoria5217 That seems to be their defense. Yes, Alec is a dangerous guy. Yes, Alec plays with guns. That's why the "professionals" should have made sure is gun wasn't loaded. That defense might work, but probably won't.
What Baldwin did is fire a real gun at 3 people. The reason you never do that despite someone saying "Cold Gun" is?: Halyna Hutchins. Just because someone says a gun is unloaded doesn't mean it's true. That's why director, producer, actor, and citizens are all told to never point even an "unloaded" gun at others unless they are threatening your life. PERIOD. That's why for decades movie sets have used "cheats" to avoid real guns being pointed at real people. For example point the gun slightly off to the side. Or not use a remote controlled camera. Or a non functioning gun.
I bet Alec Baldwin is asking himself, “was I a prick to any of these witnesses coming to testify?” Chances are….. it’s a resounding yes. It pays to be nice to all people all the time. You never know when karma will pop up.
When it comes to such a serious matter people don’t simply decide to slander you in court. So whether or not he was really nice to everyone, I highly doubt anyone was trying to get back at him. He was acting on a set with a cold gun. Anyone including Baldwin could have been killed. This is the fault of whom ever was responsible for safety. Sounds to me like this was two other people. I hope he counter sues for legal fees, his time, reputations damage and trauma.
Alec Baldwin was well aware of live rounds on the set. He was participating in using those live rounds for target practice during their lunch breaks. He is responsible for not getting those live rounds off of the set. Baldwin is the owner the producer and is in charge it all lands on him.
@@charleslaurice I missed where Alec was doing target practice. (makes sense though) I never understood how they put all the blame on a part time armorer, and none on the person supplying, or purchasing (renting) the ammo.
Alec Baldwin is not guilty even if you MAGA people wish he were. Dave Halls pleaded to gun charge. He admitted that he made a mistake. The gun was supposed to be checked by him after the girls. That was not Alec Baldwin’s job. Actors do not have the duty to check the gun. The judge struck out the excuse that Alec was a co-producer. Alec will be acquitted. He should be. What happened to Halyna Hutchins was a tragedy for her and her family and for Alec Baldwin in a different way. He didn’t deserve this. It makes people wonder if he had been framed.
Alex was negligent in his producerial capacities in multiple areas. Movie set personnel LITERALLY QUIT OVER THE LACK OF SAFETY OCCURING ON THE SET..Think about that..Experienced people quit because this movie shoot was extremely unsafe..Alex was shown to be pushing the production along at a unsafe pace in order to come in under budget and on time .He should be held accountable not only as the person who caused the death directly, but indirectly as well. Period..
Actors get producer credit to sweeten the deal and boost their egos. They aren't the producers who do all the hiring and actually run things. Jensen Ackles even said this in his police interview.
* Defendant consultant -“Alec, we need you to write notes, no faces or eye rolling. Just keep your head down” *Alec- writes like a maniac during the entire prosecution opening statement.
He's responsible for safety on the set, he pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger, it doesn't matter if there had been 6 live rounds in the gun, if he'd not pointed it and pulled the trigger then it wouldn't have happened - he's more culpable than any other person involved and if he gets away without a sentence it will be a huge injustice.
I can't stand Alec Baldwin as a actor or person but finding him guilty on the 1st day has become the American way. Pathetic come on watch the trial then decide
I agree with you I can’t stand him!!! Yet until you watch a trial and get all the facts presented , is the only time you can really come to a conclusion. Definitely negligence on his part in cutting corners! But as much as I can’t stand him, I want to hear everything.
With All the information concerning this Tragedy, It is beyond Crystal Clear, that their armorer was NOT even qualified for the Position. She is going to be the one to take the fall for ALL OF IT.
Alec should not be charged in this case. Thousands of Movies have been made and there has never been an incident like this. The people who are hired and have a contract are liable… that is why they are hired… but I suppose someone is going to expect or blame others to do their jobs to. It is a movie set, where there can be anything used as a prop… I do believe that someone was playing a disgusting game of roulette and Alec was somewhat set up but it is still early to to say. I have not watched previous trial but I plan on it. I just do not find him liable, not responsible and he was obviously distraught. I also think his attorneys are top notch and very professional. The blonde prosecutor is bat poop crazy and now I know while they filed a motion to try and keep in line… she try’s to do whatever she wants and is a cry baby.
What Baldwin did is aim and fire a real gun at 3 people. The reason you never do that despite someone saying "Cold Gun" is?: Halyna Hutchins. Just because someone says a gun is unloaded doesn't mean it's true. That's why director, producer, actor, and citizens are all told in training classes to never point even an "unloaded" gun at others unless they are threatening your life. That's why for decades movie sets have used "cheats" to avoid real guns being pointed at real people. For example point the gun slightly off to the side. Or not use a remote controlled camera. Or a non functioning gun. Or CGI. On and on
@@SurtLibresince Brandon Lee, when they made a bunch of changes to the way that things functioned on sets. AB grew up with living and working with those chances. He has been doing this since the 80s, including several westerns, and a bunch of action movies. He worked before and after The Crow.
What a shame key stone cops at work. No excuse for all of their incompetence. I was in our police force for 23 years myself here in Wisconsin. A small eastern city out of Milwaukee. I went to UWM for standard police classes then transferred to OC MATC for my associate's degree. After 4 years in the Marines 1987-1991. 1992-1994. I graduated. I got hired on our city dept. A year.later. I can't believe more units didn't respond to a shooting call. This poor deputy was by him self. Over 150 people there including the shooter. Accident or not. You secure the scene assist the wounded and ceiling off the inside of the structure then outside for 50 yards around the perimeter. Then secure the weapons involved. call detectives. I interviewed witnesses being a supervisor. And if we caught the suspect secure him in cuffs and search him put in the locked unit. Then read him his rights. I understand it's a movie set, 30 min for any town. The LT. Should have called for Assistance more deputies or State patrol for help! Never put a suspect in your vehicle with the murder weapon. Hanna should have been escorted to the deputy vehicle. Alec the shooter should have been escorted to the Lt's vehicle. The weapons and bullets put in an evidence bag and placed in the trunk. I would have secured the gun belts with the rounds in them and put them in the trunk as well.
She's actually a very good attorney. Very thorough and smart. She takes her job very serious. I'd get a bit pissy with stupid defense attorneys too if I was her
Her condescending, over exaggerated way of asking questions are very grating, and her constant objections are mostly b.s. The judge keeps overruling her.
This was clearly not intentional, however someone lost their life carelessly by an individual (actor or not) who was completely reckless in his actions. No amount of Justice will bring back Halyna but it will bring closure.
This attorney who has to CONSTANTLY move her glasses is quite irritating! Not to mention she's making this case look better and better for Alec. They have nothing! Rainbow Hair Hannah is the one who loaded the gun and said it was COLD! I'm just wondering why it was never brought up that she yelled for someone to grab her pink makeup case and take it away! She was known to be high on set.
What Baldwin did is aim and fire a real gun at 3 people. The reason you never do that despite someone saying "Cold Gun" is?: Halyna Hutchins. Just because someone says a gun is unloaded doesn't mean it's true. Duh. Common sense. People getting accidentally shot dead why director, producer, actor, and citizens are all told to never point even an "unloaded" gun at others unless they are threatening your life. PERIOD. That's why for decades movie sets have used "cheats" to avoid real guns being pointed at real people. For example point the gun slightly off to the side. Or not use a remote controlled camera. Or a non functioning gun. Or CGI. On and on.
Well, it isn’t the job or responsibility of an actor to check the firearms. That is why gun handlers. It is their job. This trial should get thrown out. The prosecutor already look silly.
It absolutely is the actors job to check. The first rule of gun safety is to treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Baldwin doesn’t suddenly get to be negligent because he’s pretending to be a cowboy
The opening statement given by prosecutor was very eerie . Always always check. Even if there’s nothing in it never point it directly at someone. However I understand the other side which is he is not fully responsible for her death. Does he need to be held accountable absolutely. But he was trusting there was nothing. Something deadly happened no question not defending him. He has to live with his deadly mistake of realizing this beautiful woman is no longer alive. We need to celebrate her not because of her death but her legacy. But he does need to face the consequences of his actions
As Baldwins defence said right at the start, all the evidence showed that EVERYONE on that set were astonished not only that a “cold gun” had gone off but that there was ANY live ammunition on the set, let alone in the gun but; she attempted ridiculously to say that Baldwin must be guilty of murder because, he isn’t “talking about” what just happened…! Add this to the evidence she deliberately failed to disclose to the defence, this case should have never gone to court. It is obvious that she was determined to get her “15 HOURS…” of fame. She deserves everything she gets and should never be placed in a position of authority or trust again.
To be fair. If the cop didn’t want him talking to anyone then when ppl came up to Baldwin the cop should have told them to walk away. Or figured out a way to put everybody in separate cars. Used or not by the crime scene tape
Being a gunsmith in Australia i can tell you that you can get a accidental discharge what happens is when you cock the gun the sear doesnt make proper contact but contacts enough to hold but then it slips and the gun discharges most times you can try to replicate this to make it do it again without success especially if someone has modified the trigger by filing it in order to give it a hair trigger i have seen guns drop the hammer on a few occasions i saw one on my work bench do it when nobody was near it of coarse it was unloaded on inspection i found a rough spot on the sear that would have caused it to only semi cock with just enough to hold the hammer back then it slipped causing the hammer to drop this may explain the lines they saw on the gun in question this case is all bullshit whats happened to the world since 2020 so many stupid people now days
@SheilaLS i dont agree with the FBI testing in the sence that they were testing the gun for a drop or impact fire by hitting it with a rubber hammer that wasn't the case. They needed to study the trigger mechanism especially the sear.
@SheilaLS sorry to hear you ill hope you have a quick recovery yea he said he didn't touch the trigger it just went off but thats not here or there someone probally would have been shot when he did pull the trigger as there was a live round in it so really i don't know what it matters if he did or didn't pull the trigger it all comes back to why were there live rounds on set who brought them onto the set who loaded the gun thats the question because they are the ones that need to be on trial not the actor
@SheilaLS sorry to hear that but never give up the doctors told me back in 2010 my lung disease was terminal but they were wrong iam going good these days iam from Australia yes i will be surprised if he's found guilty but who knows.
Alec Baldwin should not be on trial, he is an actor period. He acts, that’s his job. His job is not to check any guns or any other equipment. The armors job is to check the firearms that is what she gets paid for.
Don't be too dismissive of this tricky Little attorney, during his opening statement he was bringing up all kinds of past actors and I'm sure that hit home with some of the jurors. The state objected but it was too late he got his point across
LOL are we watching the same trial? AND I for one have not been a big Alec fan but why have an armorer, if the actor is responsible? THEN Helena should have asked to see the gun. IN fact, everybody in the room should have asked. If Alec is guilty by not checking SOOO is EVERYONE IN THE ROOM!
It's a bad look to pretend writing on a notepad for the entire state opening then suddenly finish when it's your own guy. Jury hates that kind of thing.
yes he is. He was suppose to check the gun also and not point it at anyone. The whole filming he was waving the gun around and pointing it at people. He's an idiot and an egomaniac
Well yes he was.. he was a producer and he also had the responsibility of checking the ammo with the armorer but he didn’t he was careless on his phone and he didn’t need to pull the trigger for that scene and he did anyways . He lied about not pulling the trigger because he knew he was wrong
Wrong...in his producer capacity, he was negligent in his oversight..Yhe movie actually stopped multiple times because people working on it said there were MULTIPLE SAFETY VIOLATIONS OCCURING and some quit over this..AleX was negligent in this and needs to be held liable..
You're right. Hannah was the only responsible person to hand him the gun, but... he had Hannah doing other odd jobs to fill in because half the cast walked off. He continued rolling film and accepted a gun from someone other than who officially should check and hand it off as cold. He was also aware that live ammo was on the set because of previous accidental discharges. They all walked off due to not being in compliance due to safety. Totally Alecs fault. I hope he enjoys prison food.
Truly Alec Baldwin whose been acting years will purposely load a gun point it and shoot on live tv! Throwing away his career! I can’t see this or maybe I’m wrong! The gun is given by the staff the creators of the production! So you all didn’t know it was loaded before handing the gun to Alec? Who there had it in for him wanting to ruin his life? Was he in shock when this happened? Come on now! But I could be wrong maybe he would go straight and end a life on set! It’s laughable/sad! Not funny at just unbelievable. What was his relationship with the person? I can’t! Y’all prove it make us see this man on a busy day going to the bags💵💰💰💰💰Which isn’t small by no means will end his career!! I could be wrong!! Ijs
It's his responsibility to check the gun also. It's fact. Just because his attorney makes it sound like it's not his responsibility, he's wrong. He's going to say whatever to make Mr Egomaniac look innocent
@@brucefields867 While that’s understandable. It’s just hard to believe he woke up on a rampage to shoot this woman down. There has to be a back story somewhere on Alec and her personal relationship with one another at the time. What reason would he want her shot down but then as I stated before maybe I’m wrong. He may have decided not to check the gun on purpose causing her death by his own hands but the why still hunts this sad situation. Is he really a mad man? Or was this an accident. It’s so sad for her family as well. ♥️
@@brucefields867 That‘s basically a job of an attorney. Defending the person and even trying to make the person at least look innocent. If it wouldn‘t, why need an attorney at all? Or rather team of them.
I am blue line/RaRa we need the police/they are underpaid all that, but it boggles my mind that a person like LeFleur can have a job when you can’t even answer a question. I know it is stressful on the stand. I get that he has to be careful with every single word that he says. I can’t wrap my head around how someone so mousey and hesitant when trying to answer simple questions is expected to make split second life and death decisions on the job. You don’t have to a pro orator but the least you can do is answer simple questions that require one or two syllable answers without stumbling over your word(s).
This guy is just as guilty as the armorer. Regardless if someone tells you something is not loaded we are supposed to treat it like it's loaded. ALWAYS. His actions caused the gun to go off. He pointed it at her. Even if it was an "accident", his actions got a woman killed.
@@smashthehammer5348 Agree-I’m blown away by the amount of “he’s innocent” comments. Then again I’m also blown away by the amount of 🐑 in this world. He’s a staunch Dem, most likely it’s already been arranged that he be found innocent. Ridin’ with you know who. He plays Trump on psycho SNL-of course he’s protected 👹
He made the choice to shoot he’s just as at fault for that woman’s death. He makes me sick. I don’t care if he ever makes another movie. He should have apologized to Helena’s husband not tried to cover his own butt. He shouldn’t make another dollar
It sounds to me like he was negligent You're never supposed to point a gun at anyone You're never supposed to pull the trigger He should have done a safety check There were other accidental discharges on tbis set Reckless and the cast and crew knew this before this shooting Of course he never meant for this to happen Im sure he was horrified But it did I think Baldwin has behaved badly since this terrible tragedy He's a really good actor I just don't know how good of a human being he is?? Is he guilty? Not sure but I don't think he followed gun protocol
Why did Alec pick this lawyer? falling over his words, he is all over the place. He’s hard to follow. I really hope he is found not guilty, it’s so obvious it’s not his fault!
If he is innocent of the charge. Why did they take away his producer position? I think the judge is star struck. He is guilty. He should have checked that gun and should’ve never pointed it at anyone. Karma is about to bite him in the ass. Bringing a baby to court. It’s just an act.
How can you have a inexperienced armor if you are a certified armor how the feck can you be inexperienced you mean to tell me a armor carnt tell the diffrence between a live round and a blank who brought the live rounds onto the set who put the live round in the chamber and most of all a firearm is always loaded and should never be pointed at anyone why are they using guns thaf can be loaded with live ammo he should not be on trial
@@lloydf1879 even before that Alec Baldwin new live rounds were on the set. It’s his set. They use them for target practice during lunch break Alec Baldwin did he sure did. Why did he not get them off of his set at that point in time because he was acting like a five year old, he had to have his way, it’s called oppositional defiant disorder most men grow out of it by the time they’re eight years old he obviously has not
@@charleslaurice I have not seen a document about who was doing target practice. That could be important as one of those people likely brought the live rounds on to the set. If you have that article, let me know. What I read he was not a managing producer & other producers made set decisions, not AB, which is likely why judge excluded that so that is no longer an issue at least during the trial.
Balwins attorney didn't ask.. The gentleman just said "the actor who pulled the trigger " "Pulled the trigger " She didn't stop the film at all🤔 To ask why
Ada morrisey is way disorganized for this trial. Shouldn’t be confused about what exhibits are or aren’t already in evidence and forgetting to admit exhibits until after she published them especially when the jury is in the room .. she was really on track and organized in the Hannah guteriez reed trial 8:15:17
Alec Baldwin is getting ready for a scene and theres cameras all over the room . Isnt there supposed to be some kind of footage when this incident happened 🤔
I hear gun experts talk about how infearor the 45 is compared to a 10mm and now new 9mm ammo. Kiss my ass i used a 45 sig Sauer P220 and Colt 1911A1 45 in the Marines. I was a Marine recon sniper. I was an armor. I just retited as a police officer SWAT sniper and patrolman after 25 years. I had to shoot and kill as both. I carried a Sig Sauer P220 45 ACP on duty and then the P320 45 ACP. A 45 is a deadly bullet. 15 feet away, one person was killed, and another person was wounded.
Not insinuating anything but wow, it's absolutely insane how someone like Baldwin with little to no gun training whatsoever or whatever he had, it was reckless, could have such an aim in a heartbeat to cock the gun, fire it and have absolutely marksman precision to basically shoot her in the heart and it exits to the person behind her. Just insane. I mean he was very close but wow the aim and precision was ridiculous.
@smurf902 Watch his first interview with police. He gave them a lot of information about his knowledge of guns and ammo..... He rambled on and on and on.
@@smurf902 Baldwin has a had a ton of gun training. Every major film brings in gun experts to train their stars on how to use guns like a pro. Otherwise, they would like like complete idiots on film.
Whats with the State..sit down and let him finish..all your wanting to do is take him off his stride..he let you finish without interruption..he is actually doing a good job besides..
This prosecutor Kari Morrisey seemed determined to stretch out her 15 minutes of fame to hours on end with endless irrelevant interruptions. All of which could not mask the simple fact that she and the police department should never have allowed this case to go to court. Love him or hate him, Baldwin is an actor who went to work that day to act. During the rehearsal and the actual shoot, unbeknown to him and everyone else in the vicinity, they were all in in serious danger because, not only was there a LIVE round on set, someone had loaded the prop with it and assured him it was “cold” ie it didn’t even have a blank in it…! Even before she deliberately withheld evidence, Kari Morrisey demonstrated as much incompetence in doing her job as she displayed rudeness and arrogance here.
So, where did the live round come from? There’s the problem. Are actors required to check the rounds? If he had found the live round this wouldn’t have happened but…would they investigate where that live round came from? Probably not.
Thst is the million dollar question. Pretty sure that is what the armorer is there for. Also the assistant director ( I think that was his position) Halls maybe…..he checked it too. I do not think it is the actor’s responsibility to check the gun. Also, I know NOTHING about guns. How do you tell the difference between a live and blank round?
It is 4:50 in Canada. Why is the prosacuter allowed to be right next to the defence lawyer who is pleading her concerns shuffling papers her papers and interfering and standing in front of judge and defence. This seems to be rude and interfering with a point the defence is trying to make. I m not for or against the defendent.
Exactly. Do you know what project she was supposed to be working on next ? It was fact checked by snopes and politifact. So you know it’s true. When you know that then everything makes sense.
That officer has proven to not only be incompetent at his job of securing a scene and the witnesses but a lousy witness himself at court! He was only there because he was the closest, meaning he was posted in the middle of nowhere in the desert policing desert lizards while sipping on tequila, so why is he assigned the job of babysitting the key witness of a shooting incident? So much incompetence on the film set and also in the PD, its like a conference of mediocre people!
This so called crime scene tech is horrible. Doesnt know what she's doing. Either overlooked or just not doing her job. You collect every thing. Talk to everybody. What did she do??? DOES NOT NEED TO BE ON ANY CRIME SCENE. PERIOD. INCOMPETENT
“No actor in history has ever intercepted a live bullet from a prop gun” 2:27:22 how could the defense possibly know that? There are almost countless movies, nobody knows about every single movie ever made in history.

I look forward to seeing the timestamp of day 3. Thank you.
this is why real guns should not be used on set of any movies
This is so heartbreaking. Seeing the last hours of her life portrayed in front of the world must be so hard for her family and is not what she deserved. Nor anyone else.😞
Why does the prosecutor have such a poor attitude? Her attitudes worse than a teenage daughter.
@@nicenessispriceless2681 she could be annoyed because she had to object to the defenses opening statement three times. Just the opening statement. That would sour my attitude
My teenage girl is a real piece of work lol and yes... Morrissey takes the cake
It’s called narcissism, she was obsessed with gaining as much notoriety from the misfortune of a famous actor no matter who else gets hurt in the process. Forget justice, winning at all costs including deliberately withholding evidence clearly showing that there were at least two other people other than Gutierrez-Reed who were responsible for live rounds being anywhere near that set let alone being in the gun. Amoral people like Kari Morrisey and Ken Kratz Should never be allowed to hold positions of authority and trust.
@@jezedwards3858 couldn’t have said it better myself! Unbelievable how the trial ended up turning out.
@@nicenessispriceless2681 I’ve only just seen the video of “Day 1”. The defence lawyer pretty much sums up the whole thing which is confirmed with the video…I assume filmed by the ultimate victim. It is clear from the defence’s opening statement that Baldwin is totally innocent in this. When we hear the evidence that was hidden by the prosecution, we see clearly that Baldwin is the last person who should be on trial. There are at least two others plus the prosecution for deliberately withholding evidence.
This is a big stretch by the prosecution. Actor standing in front of a camera is handed a prop /firearm and is expected to immediately check the gun and distinguish between dummy rounds and real rounds.
This doesn’t belong in a criminal court. The armorer was already convicted. The prosecutors love the publicity. Hopefully the jury comes back with a quick not guilty.
He was also a Producer. His duty of care goes beyond that of an actor. So ultimately he actually is responsible. He is also responsible for the hiring of the inexperienced armourer who has been convicted. The way he carries on during pretty much every movie he's been on ultimately leading him to be the B grade actor he is today... well...? We all saw him back peddle and lie about pulling that trigger He pulled the trigger. He did. There's no getting away from that.

He is not a strong witness
Well... it's not ideal but with a cop there and bodycam running it's not like they could really collude. If anything it all comes across as genuinely trying to work out what went wrong. I don't think it hurt's Baldwin nearly as much as the prosecutor seems to think.

Why ever would there be live rounds on a movie set..??
@shaylynned8786 That’s what I can’t understand, why on earth?
Defence opening statement was a spectacular own goal !
How so??? 🤷🏻
Bet baldwin was wishing he had a team of writers backing up his lawyer. This guy is a poor story teller and fumbling around so bad..
Do you still think the same now? Im honestly curious
He didn't need a crack lawyer for this, intact he could have defended himself. There is no case to answer.
his lawyers are some of the top criminal lawyers in New York. They represents a lot of celebrities
What a waste of time. There were to be no live rounds on set - THE most important industry standard. The armorer allowed live rounds on set. The armorer allowed actors to continue to hold guns between takes, which is also against rules. The armorer failed in many, many areas. She loaded the gun with a live round and many other live rounds were found in her possession - on set. The armorer cleared the gun as safe. The assistant director THEN also cleared the gun as safe and not able to harm anyone. Alec Baldwin did what every other actor does in any other film that has guns as part of a scene. He absolutely expected the gun to be safe and incapable of harming anyone. There was no foreseeable expectation that the gun could harm anyone. Alec Baldwin committed no crime.
Trusting stupid and incompetent peoples doesn't absolve you of anything, especially not criminal negligence.
Exactly OP. He’s completely innocent. I hope the defense has an actor tell the jury that they never check firearms because that’s the armorers job
He didn't do his part either. It was reported very early that he was blowing off the gun training.
Omg I can’t with that prosecutor!! She seriously acts like she doesn’t know what she’s doing🤦🏻♀️ It’s hard to watch her when she’s up!

@@DeonneDuplechain eight people seem to agree. Take a chill pill !
I am glad I am not the only one that feels this way!
Some of her decisions would indicate ongoing treatment.
Not his fault! It was the job specifically paid to be an armorer. He was also taking direction specifically from the director.
According to the osha regulations, he did not ensure a safe workplace for all the participants on that job site read up you’ll learn something
Let's take this to a different perspective - I work as a bartender for someone who owns the place. The bar owner purchases all the liquor for the establishment.
The bartender serves a drink for which the liquor was poisoned during the manufacturing. The patron immediately died after his first sip. Is it the bartender's fault or the owner's for purchasing the liquor, or is it the distributor's fault. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE BARTENDER!!
But he is being tried as an actor not a producer. So with those facts techinally he is not guilty @charleslaurice
Someone hands you a gun and tells you it's not loaded, you take their word and fire it at a person or do you check yourself? User is always responsible to check. I'm not taking anyone's word for it when I fire a gun. PERIOD. There are layers of responsibility.
He had the Armoror doing other odd jobs. Totally his fault. Also, he KNEW live ammo was on the set
From what I'm seeing, Baldwin's attorney is not a criminal trial attorney.
He keeps making rookie criminal procedure mistakes and you can see the prosecutor's exasperation. It's hard to conduct a trial when the other side doesn't know what he's doing. He may do civil trial work, but that is a totally different animal from criminal work.
Definitely not a trial attorney

This is a waste of tax payer dollars hes obviously not responsible for her death. They arrested the right person who's job it was to load that gun. I don't like the guy either but he doesn't deserve to go to prison.
Yes speak it!
He pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger. Killing her and injuring another. He is, at least in part, guilty for her death.
This prosecutor is a pain to watch. The eye glass thing and lean in is absurdly cringe. This first witness is pointless. Has nothing to add to the matter at hand.
I think its the “perturbed” look on her face all the time. It’s very annoying.
She's better than the Petrocelli defence lawyer who thinks he's all that
He was also a Producer on this film. His duty of care goes beyond that of an actor. Every safety precaution should have been in place. They and thems there are the facts . As a Producer and secondly as an actor he is at fault. No getting around it. His giant ego in all aspects of this production was front and centre stage from the getgo. An actor ? He was much more than that.
And now he's producing his defence.
I don’t care if the gun was checked by 37 navy seal scout snipers before it got to me, I’m checking the mother fuccer, twice, with my own eyeballs, not to mention an emo chick with multicolored hair and ear gauges telling me the gun is safe. I mean, really Alec, seriously bro?
Emo Girl lol
Roger that sport!
I wouldn`t be able to distinguish real cartridges from blank cartridges. Do your children
already learn this in kindergarten because they are getting guns as birthday presents?
Things are going wrong in the USA with all that guns in every home...
Agreed!!!
@@ronaldschutt2877 Ronald, No offense but you're letting your politics cloud your logic.Keep an open mind as I explain....
This has nothing to do with US gun culture. Movie sets the world-over use firearms and the reason Alec Baldwin should and does know the difference between blank, dummy, and real live rounds is because he has been making films with guns for 44 years.
In fact, during Baldwin's police interview he made a point to state that he knew how to tell the difference between various cartridge types.
Here's some relevant information for you. In this case the gun was loaded with dummy rounds (and a live round). Why I have no idea as it was just a rehearsal and there was zero need for the camera to actually show rounds in the firearm. So no need for rounds at all. Regardless, dummy rounds are very easy to identify. One, they have a BB (metal ball) inside them so that when you shake them they rattle. Two, these particular dummy rounds had holes in the primers proving they won't and can't fire.
So yes Baldwin could have easily confirmed that the gun did not have live rounds in it. What's more there are a dozen ways he personally could have avoided his tragedy. Just a few are to keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Just off to the side of the camera. Or turn the camera on, get it in focus, and them move everyone out of the way before pointing the gun and pulling the trigger. Or, and this is my favorite, use a NON FUNCTIONING GUN. Not a real gun.
Cheers from America.
Just so you know. With a revolver, if you pull the hammer(not the trigger) back almost all the way but not untill it quite latches and then you either release it suddenly or it slips out of your finger before it reaches full cock, the gun may fire. This may be what happened.
However even with blanks, when they are fired, unless the barrel is plugged, which for a movie would show, there will be some discharge of material from the barrel, probably not enough to kill but enough to say, put an eye out or leave a skin burn. That's why you NEVER point a gun at someone you don't intend to injure. That is Baldwin's error. John Wayne or Roy Rogers would have known this. Baldwin maybe not!
The prosecuting attorney's dramatics are super annoying. Ugh.
Nobody seems to favor the prosecutor, maybe this whole trial was designed that way, let’s choose a prosecutor the public will not like.
Who knows with these trials.
Notice the handsome looking defense lawyer like they’re trying to get the public to favor the defense.
He was directed by the director. He was told it was not a live round. He didn't do an
He was never directed to do a scene, it was just him playing around with the gun
@@victoria5217 That seems to be their defense. Yes, Alec is a dangerous guy. Yes, Alec plays with guns. That's why the "professionals" should have made sure is gun wasn't loaded. That defense might work, but probably won't.
What Baldwin did is fire a real gun at 3 people. The reason you never do that despite someone saying "Cold Gun" is?: Halyna Hutchins. Just because someone says a gun is unloaded doesn't mean it's true. That's why director, producer, actor, and citizens are all told to never point even an "unloaded" gun at others unless they are threatening your life. PERIOD. That's why for decades movie sets have used "cheats" to avoid real guns being pointed at real people. For example point the gun slightly off to the side. Or not use a remote controlled camera. Or a non functioning gun.
I bet Alec Baldwin is asking himself, “was I a prick to any of these witnesses coming to testify?” Chances are….. it’s a resounding yes. It pays to be nice to all people all the time. You never know when karma will pop up.
Do you mean his impersonations of people.on SNL ?
What did he do to you?
When it comes to such a serious matter people don’t simply decide to slander you in court. So whether or not he was really nice to everyone, I highly doubt anyone was trying to get back at him. He was acting on a set with a cold gun. Anyone including Baldwin could have been killed. This is the fault of whom ever was responsible for safety. Sounds to me like this was two other people. I hope he counter sues for legal fees, his time, reputations damage and trauma.
I'm with Mr.Baldwin! Huge fan of him ! He didn't commit any crime !!! He's a pro and he knows his job like a back of his hand !!!
That's while two people got shot!
Alec was handed a gun he deemed to be safe , why would he think otherwise. Who brought live rounds on the set ? The armorer is totally at fault.
Alec Baldwin was well aware of live rounds on the set. He was participating in using those live rounds for target practice during their lunch breaks. He is responsible for not getting those live rounds off of the set. Baldwin is the owner the producer and is in charge it all lands on him.
@@charleslauriceTHIS 100 percent..AleX is guilty in his producerial capacities directly and indirectly causing her death
How did Baldwin deem the firearm safe? Why wouldn’t he deem it to be otherwise. You are lacking basic firearm safety discipline.
@@charleslaurice I missed where Alec was doing target practice. (makes sense though)

Alec Baldwin is not guilty even if you MAGA people wish he were. Dave Halls pleaded to gun charge. He admitted that he made a mistake. The gun was supposed to be checked by him after the girls. That was not Alec Baldwin’s job. Actors do not have the duty to check the gun. The judge struck out the excuse that Alec was a co-producer. Alec will be acquitted. He should be. What happened to Halyna Hutchins was a tragedy for her and her family and for Alec Baldwin in a different way. He didn’t deserve this. It makes people wonder if he had been framed.
WHAT does MAGA have to do with it LOL...we elect NOONE they are selected by the world govt. Talk about actors LOLOLOL
You just don’t understand firearm safety. Simple.
This is sad.
Sad for Halyna's family. Hopefully they will get justice
Alex was negligent in his producerial capacities in multiple areas. Movie set personnel LITERALLY QUIT OVER THE LACK OF SAFETY OCCURING ON THE SET..Think about that..Experienced people quit because this movie shoot was extremely unsafe..Alex was shown to be pushing the production along at a unsafe pace in order to come in under budget and on time .He should be held accountable not only as the person who caused the death directly, but indirectly as well. Period..
Actors get producer credit to sweeten the deal and boost their egos. They aren't the producers who do all the hiring and actually run things. Jensen Ackles even said this in his police interview.
The person handling the firearm is responsible for checking gun safety period. That is FIRST firearm safety (baby food).
* Defendant consultant -“Alec, we need you to write notes, no faces or eye rolling. Just keep your head down”
*Alec- writes like a maniac during the entire prosecution opening statement.
He probably wrote the opening statement for his defense.
@@djdonnagit was pretty dramatic
Also Alec when you feel your eyes start closing, put your hand on the side of your face so the jury can't see.
Not guilty. He relied on the rest of the crew to do their job & they didn’t. He is innocent.
He was reckless and that set a culture for the rest of the crew to act the same. Therefore he has equal culpability.
The problem is…he chose the crew.
So if it was a "self delete" scene instead of a gun draw, he wouldn't check the gun and blow his head off. I guess people are that stupid.
Lmao, let's hear the evidence first buddy
He's responsible for safety on the set, he pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger, it doesn't matter if there had been 6 live rounds in the gun, if he'd not pointed it and pulled the trigger then it wouldn't have happened - he's more culpable than any other person involved and if he gets away without a sentence it will be a huge injustice.
I can't stand Alec Baldwin as a actor or person but finding him guilty on the 1st day has become the American way. Pathetic come on watch the trial then decide
I agree with you I can’t stand him!!! Yet until you watch a trial and get all the facts presented , is the only time you can really come to a conclusion. Definitely negligence on his part in cutting corners! But as much as I can’t stand him, I want to hear everything.

With All the information concerning this Tragedy, It is beyond Crystal Clear, that their armorer was NOT even qualified for the Position. She is going to be the one to take the fall for ALL OF IT.
Alec should not be charged in this case. Thousands of Movies have been made and there has never been an incident like this. The people who are hired and have a contract are liable… that is why they are hired… but I suppose someone is going to expect or blame others to do their jobs to. It is a movie set, where there can be anything used as a prop… I do believe that someone was playing a disgusting game of roulette and Alec was somewhat set up but it is still early to to say. I have not watched previous trial but I plan on it. I just do not find him liable, not responsible and he was obviously distraught. I also think his attorneys are top notch and very professional. The blonde prosecutor is bat poop crazy and now I know while they filed a motion to try and keep in line… she try’s to do whatever she wants and is a cry baby.
What Baldwin did is aim and fire a real gun at 3 people. The reason you never do that despite someone saying "Cold Gun" is?: Halyna Hutchins. Just because someone says a gun is unloaded doesn't mean it's true.

What a shame key stone cops at work. No excuse for all of their incompetence. I was in our police force for 23 years myself here in Wisconsin. A small eastern city out of Milwaukee. I went to UWM for standard police classes then transferred to OC MATC for my associate's degree. After 4 years in the Marines 1987-1991. 1992-1994. I graduated. I got hired on our city dept. A year.later. I can't believe more units didn't respond to a shooting call. This poor deputy was by him self. Over 150 people there including the shooter. Accident or not. You secure the scene assist the wounded and ceiling off the inside of the structure then outside for 50 yards around the perimeter. Then secure the weapons involved. call detectives. I interviewed witnesses being a supervisor. And if we caught the suspect secure him in cuffs and search him put in the locked unit. Then read him his rights. I understand it's a movie set, 30 min for any town. The LT. Should have called for Assistance more deputies or State patrol for help! Never put a suspect in your vehicle with the murder weapon. Hanna should have been escorted to the deputy vehicle. Alec the shooter should have been escorted to the Lt's vehicle. The weapons and bullets put in an evidence bag and placed in the trunk. I would have secured the gun belts with the rounds in them and put them in the trunk as well.

Her condescending, over exaggerated way of asking questions are very grating, and her constant objections are mostly b.s. The judge keeps overruling her.
This was clearly not intentional, however someone lost their life carelessly by an individual (actor or not) who was completely reckless in his actions. No amount of Justice will bring back Halyna but it will bring closure.
Why is Spiro arguing about intention? The whole point of the involuntary manslaughter charge is that it was accidental. Waste of time.
This attorney who has to CONSTANTLY move her glasses is quite irritating! Not to mention she's making this case look better and better for Alec. They have nothing! Rainbow Hair Hannah is the one who loaded the gun and said it was COLD!

It was an accident, and he didn't know the gun was loaded
Hence why it's an INVOLUNTARY charge!
Yes, and he could’ve easily checked. Hence why it’s manslaughter and not murder. Death by negligence.
Chaos and very difficult for one cop to control in the panic and confusion!
Well, it isn’t the job or responsibility of an actor to check the firearms. That is why gun handlers. It is their job. This trial should get thrown out. The prosecutor already look silly.
It absolutely is the actors job to check. The first rule of gun safety is to treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Baldwin doesn’t suddenly get to be negligent because he’s pretending to be a cowboy
The opening statement given by prosecutor was very eerie . Always always check. Even if there’s nothing in it never point it directly at someone. However I understand the other side which is he is not fully responsible for her death. Does he need to be held accountable absolutely. But he was trusting there was nothing. Something deadly happened no question not defending him. He has to live with his deadly mistake of realizing this beautiful woman is no longer alive. We need to celebrate her not because of her death but her legacy. But he does need to face the consequences of his actions
As Baldwins defence said right at the start, all the evidence showed that EVERYONE on that set were astonished not only that a “cold gun” had gone off but that there was ANY live ammunition on the set, let alone in the gun but; she attempted ridiculously to say that Baldwin must be guilty of murder because, he isn’t “talking about” what just happened…! Add this to the evidence she deliberately failed to disclose to the defence, this case should have never gone to court. It is obvious that she was determined to get her “15 HOURS…” of fame. She deserves everything she gets and should never be placed in a position of authority or trust again.
To be fair. If the cop didn’t want him talking to anyone then when ppl came up to Baldwin the cop should have told them to walk away. Or figured out a way to put everybody in separate cars. Used or not by the crime scene tape
Being a gunsmith in Australia i can tell you that you can get a accidental discharge what happens is when you cock the gun the sear doesnt make proper contact but contacts enough to hold but then it slips and the gun discharges most times you can try to replicate this to make it do it again without success especially if someone has modified the trigger by filing it in order to give it a hair trigger i have seen guns drop the hammer on a few occasions i saw one on my work bench do it when nobody was near it of coarse it was unloaded on inspection i found a rough spot on the sear that would have caused it to only semi cock with just enough to hold the hammer back then it slipped causing the hammer to drop this may explain the lines they saw on the gun in question this case is all bullshit whats happened to the world since 2020 so many stupid people now days
@SheilaLS i dont agree with the FBI testing in the sence that they were testing the gun for a drop or impact fire by hitting it with a rubber hammer that wasn't the case. They needed to study the trigger mechanism especially the sear.
Punctuation dude
@SheilaLS sorry to hear you ill hope you have a quick recovery yea he said he didn't touch the trigger it just went off but thats not here or there someone probally would have been shot when he did pull the trigger as there was a live round in it so really i don't know what it matters if he did or didn't pull the trigger it all comes back to why were there live rounds on set who brought them onto the set who loaded the gun thats the question because they are the ones that need to be on trial not the actor

Alec Baldwin should not be on trial, he is an actor period. He acts, that’s his job. His job is not to check any guns or any other equipment. The armors job is to check the firearms that is what she gets paid for.
💯Baldwin's attorney is out of his League compared to the state prosecution, and Alex Baldwin knows it...
Don't be too dismissive of this tricky Little attorney, during his opening statement he was bringing up all kinds of past actors and I'm sure that hit home with some of the jurors. The state objected but it was too late he got his point across

In fact I think she's running the courtroom .... @markkulyas2418
LOL are we watching the same trial? AND I for one have not been a big Alec fan but why have an armorer, if the actor is responsible? THEN Helena should have asked to see the gun. IN fact, everybody in the room should have asked. If Alec is guilty by not checking SOOO is EVERYONE IN THE ROOM!
@dirgesinthedark5637 Alex didn't follow the script, it was supposed to be a slow draw.
It's a bad look to pretend writing on a notepad for the entire state opening then suddenly finish when it's your own guy. Jury hates that kind of thing.

He is not responsible for her death but is sad it all comes back to him 😢very sad 😔 court case 😢to all involved
Agree
yes he is. He was suppose to check the gun also and not point it at anyone. The whole filming he was waving the gun around and pointing it at people. He's an idiot and an egomaniac
Not guilty. He wasn’t the one responsible for checking the gun
Well yes he was.. he was a producer and he also had the responsibility of checking the ammo with the armorer but he didn’t he was careless on his phone and he didn’t need to pull the trigger for that scene and he did anyways . He lied about not pulling the trigger because he knew he was wrong
Wrong...in his producer capacity, he was negligent in his oversight..Yhe movie actually stopped multiple times because people working on it said there were MULTIPLE SAFETY VIOLATIONS OCCURING and some quit over this..AleX was negligent in this and needs to be held liable..
You're right. Hannah was the only responsible person to hand him the gun, but... he had Hannah doing other odd jobs to fill in because half the cast walked off. He continued rolling film and accepted a gun from someone other than who officially should check and hand it off as cold. He was also aware that live ammo was on the set because of previous accidental discharges. They all walked off due to not being in compliance due to safety. Totally Alecs fault. I hope he enjoys prison food.
Baldwin closing his eyes falling asleep early on.
Yeah, it is getting annoying. He is not actually asleep. He isn't "startling awake" he is being arrogant.
Such a difference in how they mark evidence compared to Canton MA
Truly Alec Baldwin whose been acting years will purposely load a gun point it and shoot on live tv! Throwing away his career! I can’t see this or maybe I’m wrong! The gun is given by the staff the creators of the production! So you all didn’t know it was loaded before handing the gun to Alec? Who there had it in for him wanting to ruin his life? Was he in shock when this happened? Come on now! But I could be wrong maybe he would go straight and end a life on set! It’s laughable/sad! Not funny at just unbelievable. What was his relationship with the person? I can’t! Y’all prove it make us see this man on a busy day going to the bags💵💰💰💰💰Which isn’t small by no means will end his career!! I could be wrong!! Ijs
It's his responsibility to check the gun also. It's fact. Just because his attorney makes it sound like it's not his responsibility, he's wrong. He's going to say whatever to make Mr Egomaniac look innocent
@@brucefields867 While that’s understandable. It’s just hard to believe he woke up on a rampage to shoot this woman down. There has to be a back story somewhere on Alec and her personal relationship with one another at the time. What reason would he want her shot down but then as I stated before maybe I’m wrong. He may have decided not to check the gun on purpose causing her death by his own hands but the why still hunts this sad situation. Is he really a mad man? Or was this an accident. It’s so sad for her family as well. ♥️
@@brucefields867 That‘s basically a job of an attorney. Defending the person and even trying to make the person at least look innocent. If it wouldn‘t, why need an attorney at all? Or rather team of them.
I am blue line/RaRa we need the police/they are underpaid all that, but it boggles my mind that a person like LeFleur can have a job when you can’t even answer a question. I know it is stressful on the stand. I get that he has to be careful with every single word that he says. I can’t wrap my head around how someone so mousey and hesitant when trying to answer simple questions is expected to make split second life and death decisions on the job. You don’t have to a pro orator but the least you can do is answer simple questions that require one or two syllable answers without stumbling over your word(s).
Have you ever heard of the court ruling Jordan v. City of New London? It explains everything. If anything these people are way over paid.
Definitely not his fault!!!
It's the gun fault ... and the bullet, surely not Alec because gun kill people.
Alec Baldwin is an actor. It is NOT his job to 'check' a prop gun for live bullets...sheesh 🙄!
This guy is just as guilty as the armorer. Regardless if someone tells you something is not loaded we are supposed to treat it like it's loaded. ALWAYS. His actions caused the gun to go off. He pointed it at her. Even if it was an "accident", his actions got a woman killed.
@@smashthehammer5348 Agree-I’m blown away by the amount of “he’s innocent” comments. Then again I’m also blown away by the amount of 🐑 in this world. He’s a staunch Dem, most likely it’s already been arranged that he be found innocent. Ridin’ with you know who. He plays Trump on psycho SNL-of course he’s protected 👹
He made the choice to shoot he’s just as at fault for that woman’s death. He makes me sick. I don’t care if he ever makes another movie. He should have apologized to Helena’s husband not tried to cover his own butt. He shouldn’t make another dollar
@@lisakirby635 The government makes me sick. They over charged this.
You NEVER EVER point a gun unless you check the chamber. Gun 101!
@@lgsalem Everyone in the room is guilty then
Go,Alec,go! You gonna win this case !!!!
So smug ! Looks like jail if proved right
It sounds to me like he was negligent
You're never supposed to point a gun at anyone
You're never supposed to pull the trigger
He should have done a safety check
There were other accidental discharges on tbis set
Reckless and the cast and crew knew this before this shooting
Of course he never meant for this to happen
Im sure he was horrified
But it did
I think Baldwin has behaved badly since this terrible tragedy
He's a really good actor I just don't know how good of a human being he is??
Is he guilty? Not sure but I don't think he followed gun protocol
Oh for goodness sake, he's an actor!!! Why would it be his responsibility to check the gun??? 🙄
@@Jina_G They have rules on the sets regarding firearms so people aren't shot and killed
Yes even for stars
Why did Alec pick this lawyer? falling over his words, he is all over the place. He’s hard to follow. I really hope he is found not guilty, it’s so obvious it’s not his fault!
Court tv is like watching tmz
Why? A celebrity is held accountable so it's like TMZ? Separate the two, this is a real life homicide case.
Don't click!
If he is innocent of the charge. Why did they take away his producer position? I think the judge is star struck. He is guilty. He should have checked that gun and should’ve never pointed it at anyone. Karma is about to bite him in the ass. Bringing a baby to court. It’s just an act.
Judge made a huge mistake
How can you have a inexperienced armor if you are a certified armor how the feck can you be inexperienced you mean to tell me a armor carnt tell the diffrence between a live round and a blank who brought the live rounds onto the set who put the live round in the chamber and most of all a firearm is always loaded and should never be pointed at anyone why are they using guns thaf can be loaded with live ammo he should not be on trial
That is the big ?: Who brought live rounds on the set for target practice?
@@lloydf1879 even before that Alec Baldwin new live rounds were on the set. It’s his set. They use them for target practice during lunch break Alec Baldwin did he sure did. Why did he not get them off of his set at that point in time because he was acting like a five year old, he had to have his way, it’s called oppositional defiant disorder most men grow out of it by the time they’re eight years old he obviously has not
@@charleslaurice I have not seen a document about who was doing target practice. That could be important as one of those people likely brought the live rounds on to the set. If you have that article, let me know. What I read he was not a managing producer & other producers made set decisions, not AB, which is likely why judge excluded that so that is no longer an issue at least during the trial.
@charleslaurice I think you're right but it hasn't been proven
@@Glubtubis_Wepal69 no and there's no common sence either
If a video is playing show the video camera man. Why is court reporting so bad. And then all these audio issues all the time
Balwins attorney didn't ask..
The gentleman just said "the actor who pulled the trigger "
"Pulled the trigger "
She didn't stop the film at all🤔
To ask why
Ada morrisey is way disorganized for this trial. Shouldn’t be confused about what exhibits are or aren’t already in evidence and forgetting to admit exhibits until after she published them especially when the jury is in the room .. she was really on track and organized in the Hannah guteriez reed trial 8:15:17
Alec Baldwin is getting ready for a scene and theres cameras all over the room .
Isnt there supposed to be some kind of footage when this incident happened 🤔
He hasnt lost an argument..she ( Pros ) needs to give up..she is looking ridiculous now
The prosecutor is trying to run the court and have everything her way. She is making herself so unlikeable.
Why is a real firearm on set allowed anyway? This is so easy to prevent
I hear gun experts talk about how infearor the 45 is compared to a 10mm and now new 9mm ammo. Kiss my ass i used a 45 sig Sauer P220 and Colt 1911A1 45 in the Marines. I was a Marine recon sniper. I was an armor. I just retited as a police officer SWAT sniper and patrolman after 25 years. I had to shoot and kill as both. I carried a Sig Sauer P220 45 ACP on duty and then the P320 45 ACP. A 45 is a deadly bullet. 15 feet away, one person was killed, and another person was wounded.
Not insinuating anything but wow, it's absolutely insane how someone like Baldwin with little to no gun training whatsoever or whatever he had, it was reckless, could have such an aim in a heartbeat to cock the gun, fire it and have absolutely marksman precision to basically shoot her in the heart and it exits to the person behind her. Just insane. I mean he was very close but wow the aim and precision was ridiculous.
@smurf902 Watch his first interview with police. He gave them a lot of information about his knowledge of guns and ammo..... He rambled on and on and on.
Big advantage of 9mm is that you can carry more rounds for the same weight and modern loads are no joke.
@@smurf902 Baldwin has a had a ton of gun training. Every major film brings in gun experts to train their stars on how to use guns like a pro. Otherwise, they would like like complete idiots on film.
He looked like a serial killer with that hairstyle.
He was nervous and sad
Whats with the State..sit down and let him finish..all your wanting to do is take him off his stride..he let you finish without interruption..he is actually doing a good job besides..
This cop seems very green in the job, his answers are vague
What does “green in the job” mean?
Hi from England, so when is it meant to be starting
I think it’s safe to say it was taht young cops first rodeo.
This prosecutor Kari Morrisey seemed determined to stretch out her 15 minutes of fame to hours on end with endless irrelevant interruptions. All of which could not mask the simple fact that she and the police department should never have allowed this case to go to court. Love him or hate him, Baldwin is an actor who went to work that day to act. During the rehearsal and the actual shoot, unbeknown to him and everyone else in the vicinity, they were all in in serious danger because, not only was there a LIVE round on set, someone had loaded the prop with it and assured him it was “cold” ie it didn’t even have a blank in it…! Even before she deliberately withheld evidence, Kari Morrisey demonstrated as much incompetence in doing her job as she displayed rudeness and arrogance here.
And yes, the chain of events is very important , tho.
So, where did the live round come from? There’s the problem. Are actors required to check the rounds? If he had found the live round this wouldn’t have happened but…would they investigate where that live round came from? Probably not.
Thst is the million dollar question. Pretty sure that is what the armorer is there for. Also the assistant director ( I think that was his position) Halls maybe…..he checked it too. I do not think it is the actor’s responsibility to check the gun. Also, I know NOTHING about guns. How do you tell the difference between a live and blank round?
Is it normal for opening statements to have objections from the prosecutors?????
It is 4:50 in Canada. Why is the prosacuter allowed to be right next to the defence lawyer who is pleading her concerns shuffling papers her papers and interfering and standing in front of judge and defence. This seems to be rude and interfering with a point the defence is trying to make. I m not for or against the defendent.
loaded gun or unloaded gun why did he point the gun at her.There was no reason to and had he not pointed it at her she would still be alive.
Exactly. Do you know what project she was supposed to be working on next ? It was fact checked by snopes and politifact. So you know it’s true. When you know that then everything makes sense.
This prosecutor should not prosecute anyone, period
That officer has proven to not only be incompetent at his job of securing a scene and the witnesses but a lousy witness himself at court! He was only there because he was the closest, meaning he was posted in the middle of nowhere in the desert policing desert lizards while sipping on tequila, so why is he assigned the job of babysitting the key witness of a shooting incident? So much incompetence on the film set and also in the PD, its like a conference of mediocre people!
Why is the witness wearing purple gloves?
2:17:54 Alec reacts to something here and looks worried then annoyed… what is it?!
So smug ! Jail will undo that 😂
This so called crime scene tech is horrible. Doesnt know what she's doing. Either overlooked or just not doing her job. You collect every thing. Talk to everybody. What did she do??? DOES NOT NEED TO BE ON ANY CRIME SCENE. PERIOD. INCOMPETENT
“No actor in history
has ever intercepted
a live bullet from a prop gun”
2:27:22
how could the defense possibly know that?
There are almost countless movies,
nobody knows about every single movie ever made in history.
My point is if you or I accidentally shot someone, we'd go to prison, many people have accidentally killed someone and still been sent down.
Did they take finger prints off the spent case?
The colour of the primer means feck all its just a diffrent brand Example winchester primers are gold cci are silver
LOVE Morrisey!!!
