- Alec Baldwin claims he never pulled the trigger from the gun that killed Halyna Hutchins on his “Rust” movie set in New Mexico. Despite witnesses saying he was practicing shooting techniques, some firearm experts are now backing Baldwin saying he could be telling the truth. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie spoke with Hollywood armorer Dutch Merrick about why Baldwin may be innocent ahead of trial.

They need to stop referring to full functional firearms as "prop guns". To me that implies it's a non functional replica or made of rubber.
Except it is a prop gun. The media should make it clear that a prop gun could be a real, functioning gun or a fake gun, but saying it's a prop gun isn't wrong.
I get it that it could be a "workplace accident" but there absolutely shouldn't have been live ammo on the set of a damn movie...period
Hannah is only responsible if she brought those rounds to set, otherwise it's all Alec. The lowest of the low budget producers. I mean, shot his own DP with a gun handed off by a first AD while the 'armourer' was off doing three other jobs, acting as her own assistant, planning the next location, etc. while somebody from another department was handing off a firearm to a principle under the direct supervision of the executive producer with forty, really?, years of experience.
I still think sabotage is a one of two most likely reasons, considering the low life's that work low budget and that they had labor problems including having the only unionized department bail the call. Which is unheard of.
@@davidjennings4589 I still think it was Hannah. Not working precise, like an armorer needs to be. How she had everywhere bullets. Mixed. With first interview, how she pulled bullets out of pockets and fannypack... Just horrific. Did she have maybe also bullets in her car? She did have in her hotelroom...
Six live rounds were found on set.
Hannah was an assistent armorer, first job, movie 'The old way'. Hired because of her last name. All the props were send back to DP. And given again for movie Rust. Shortage of ammo. Sarah got ammo from different places. Hannah also got ammo from her father. Box.
After 'The Old Way', Hannah did a radio interview, proudly telling that her father gave her a Peachemaker for X-mas. I still wonder: also with real bullets? They were already filming for a few weeks. Alec was just there a few days. His gunbelt & the gun were especially for him.
Somewhere in this story: I still don't understand: when Alec Baldwin shows up, the big boss, the so called 'A listed' moviestar, why not check & doublecheck & triple check his props?? Hannah even had more time that morning, because cameracrew leaving. A delay. To check every gun and every bullet. Her job was, to rattle every bullet. Every single time...But she got careless, because whomever expects a live round....
It will stay a mystery, how 6 live rounds ended up on set....What we know for sure, it wasn't Alec Baldwin...
@@belleblaas3843 I only saw the interview with Baldwin. I would have had to be there and see her work to know, but she definitely would have a hard time being outside and inside at the same time. She could not watch the set cart (outside) and work the set (inside) at the same time. Production was fatally flawed and her department was not a one person responsibility under props but a department which required at least three people. Department heads are also responsible for inspecting the next days shooting location and planning for that. They have seconds and thirds and apprentices.
And The Live ammo was not his fault... the money paid to this prosecutor for wrongfully charging: now the community loses...
This is BS. It has been demonstrated over & over by gun experts here on YT that this particular gun will not fire unless the trigger is pulled.
Lightly squeezing the trigger IS equivalent to pulling the trigger. A fully cocked cowboy revolver takes a whisper of finger pressure to drop the hammer. Are people using double action triggers to describe single action?
Gun experts from FBI can't get gun to fire without trigger pull. Several independent experts found same. Dude who admits to no experience with single action guns say they are wrong. What do you have to say about that?
He even downplays that the trigger still needs to be manipulated by a human finger to achieve it.
It seems to me this guy got paid by someone to talk about this, other than the Law & Crime Network. Guns are mechanical and only designed to be used one way. If guns could go off on their own we would have heard about countless scenarios where this happened over decades. The Colt was extensively tested.
What about the actors who were complaining that the guns were going off while in their holsters or otherwise misfiring?
@@rixvspinnerthe Colt was patented in 1873. It was vastly superior to previous revolvers because it held a modern cartridge. It had no safety features. It was safe because you could shoot it faster than the guy who was trying to kill you with another gun.
@@astrowuffthis particular gun may have been broken internally before the the FBI got it.
People were quitting their jobs because they feared for their lives.
Swiss cheese me that.
so the gun went off by 'magic'???
Yeah, there was a witch and spells and a magic frog that was once a prince.
No, he pulled the hammer back and dropped it on a live round, unsurprisingly, it detonated.
I agree I've never understood why the prosecutor would see the Assistant Director who took possession of the gun from the armorer and literally calls out "cold gun" as having guilt only worthy of $500 and Baldwin deemed more responsible. Definitely some politics at play
Oh man, the spin machine has been turned on.
The headline is completely misleading!!
Not completely accurate.. maybe. Completely misleading.. no.
Based on footage before lunch, AB had zero trigger discipline.
I do believe AB believes he didn’t pull the trigger.
i think he wants to believe he didn't pull the trigger. i know i wouldn't want to believe i killed someone.
He's blaming everyone, but the person who pulled the trigger
He didn’t load it with real bullets he was handed it loaded. Not his fault he didn’t know it was loaded because it was supposed to be checked before handing it to him! So it’s the person who brought a real gun and loaded it with live bullets is at fault. Not his!
@@KrissyRoseAnimallover yes it is no matter what he pulled the trigger he killed her no matter what you always, always, always check a firearm period you are the last check
So everyone elses failt but Baldwin? Is Baldwin paying this guy cause him blaming the victim is digusting
Baldwin held that gun
I have been told never point a gun at anyone even a blank one he did he didnt check other actors did
Baldwin shouldnt be above the law
Telling people you're an expert doesn't make it true 😂😂
He said "yes there's negligence involved and someone died, but that doesn't mean it's manslaughter"
Thats literally the definition of manslaughter.
If you believe he didn’t pull the trigger, I have some ketchup popsicles to sell you…
Yeah, I'ma need a really clear explanation. I've seen people with the same weapon. I don't think there is literally any way he didn't pull the trigger
Edit: Explanation given and fair play. I now have questions
What does that ketchup popsicle mean?
@@asafoster7954Money and fame....

The problem was, these slices were EXTRA HOLY on this set!
Why did crew members leave because of unsafe conditions, are any of them going to testify?
Incompetence, carelessness, known failure to follow safety protocols = errors?
so this guy is saying Alec didnt pull the trigger, he just held it back in a position that would allow the gun to fire.
💀 How did They not know the gun was real and had a bullet in it
Not supposed to have any live bullets near the set.
@@EricLing64 Many screwups involved in this.
It's not up to the actors to test every single prop they use. Absolute farce of a trail
The guns they use are never "fake", they are real. Question is why was there live rounds anywhere near set. Hes a killer
The only one that knows the answer is the armorer. And she got a slap on the wrist for this.
This "expert" isn't biased at all.
Everything this guy says all assumes that the armorer is COMPETENT. The fact that there is no “certification” for this profession is mind blowing. The stupidest, most mundane jobs have certifications. Why can’t a union require armorers to be certified? That doesn’t seem to be asking that much.
Exactly, this female was not certified and completely incompetent. She was promoted just to pander to feminism. She should not have been anywhere near the armoury let alone being lead armourer.
@@Gchild2k6 I think she was hired because she was cheap, this was a budget movie and AB had to sell a house in order to afford an attorney.
@@xman5393 Wake up man, understand the environment you are in these past few years. Look at all the leads these day...If you want to believe there was not cheaper male more qualified armour they could find for budget movies..look at other budget movies even the first 300.
@@Gchild2k6why did all the people walk off that morning for safety violations
@@wissenz they didn't. They walked off because they were not getting lodging, transportation, etc. They were the only union department and they had a belly full of Alec Baldwins road show to nowhere.
He literally told police he pulled the trigger
OK… Let’s just play this out… Even if he dropped the hammer on a live round without pulling the trigger, he still shot and killed somebody on his movie sat with a firearm loaded with a live around
Get this straight. Its Not a prop gun its a real gun used as a Prop and must be handled accordingly.
But he still is wrong for waving his handgun as a pointer in front of people. This experts theories has holes like Swiss cheese.
AB said in the beginning he pulled the trigger. Period.
This guy's opinion is just that- an opinion. I believe Baldwin should have been charged. It was his pressure to keep costs down that led to an inexperienced drug user being hired as an armorer. It was Baldwin's pressure to hurry up that made the set unsafe. He should be charged with something.
If Alec followed the 4 golden firearm safety rules, plus the additional 5th rule of 'check every firearm handed to you' this would have never happened.
What a Fallacy then prove he could have detected the live round.
facts
@carrollsanders9376 If he checked the firearm, pulled the rounds out he would clearly be able to see if it was pointy or not. A blank round doesn't have a projectile.
@@carrollsanders9376you’re ignorant. Please stay away from all firearms and weapons in general.
Where was this expert all this time .. just happened to appear out of thin air yeah right lol
How much did Baldwin pay him ?
A woman died as a result of extreme negligence. Baldwin as well as everyone involved in the extreme reckless handling of the prop firearms need to be held accountable.
The FBI literally broke the gun into pieces trying to recreate the scenario. How do we know Alec pulled the trigger if the FBI BROKE THE GUN TRYING TO RECREATE IT. It obviously was a faulty gun. Just glad ppl like you aren't the juror.
Baldwin being so experienced in the field knows well what is right and wrong on a. Set. His own ambition to succeed in the movie and himself at the cost of ignoring safety concerns is what we see . And after knowing the dangers of the set , he still kept pressing to continue at his control
@@TheRealBoomslice It obviously broke because it would not fire without a trigger pull under ordinary circumstances so they had to find out what extreme circumstances it would fire without a trigger pull under.
Dude is talking about cheese and aircrafts, back pedaling any way possible. Talk about the facts of what happened and not made up scenarios
I used a browning hi powered in the army and I would never ready it unless I was going to use it because they will go off if you bump them, our medic had his readied and it fell out of the holster and went off into the wall
Which army was this? The US Army has never used the Hi-Power as an issue weapon. They also required that the Colt .45 ACP be carried with an empty chamber.
@gnosticnight canada they were from korea

Sorry Mr expert but there is video of AB had his finger on the trigger when he pulled that weapon out.

@@TheRealBoomslice hmm hm
Live rounds on a movie set is kind of a murder....
Only murder if there is evidence of intent. Besides this is more relevant to the Gutierrez case than the Baldwin case.
Absolute BS… he pulled the Trigger
@@paulduffy697 Yet the Procecution's experts can't prove that.
@@paulduffy697 stopping the trigger from engaging when cocking is basically like not letting the trigger "unpull" from the last pulling...
It doesn’t matter to me whether he pulled it or not, the professional did not do her job properly and Baldwin was put in an impossible position, it was an accident and he should not be charged.
@@LauraBzar-bk5sd There is more than one person who needs to be charged here.
@@LauraBzar-bk5sd He shouldn’t be pulling a trigger towards people full stop, On film set or not
This is complete 100% b s. His finger was on the trigger AND ab should have been familiar with real ammo and whether his gun was loaded or not. Careless gun handling period!
Waste of state funds! Why is this prosecution wasting state money!! She is getting paid with taxpayer money!
We still does not have a footage with the gun firing. The one with the so called shooting footage does not have recoil, flash or smoke or any indication that the gun went off.
Negligence is manslaughter
yes, but one question if AB had shot himself dead with the prop gun after be told it's empty. Would he be guilty of his own death?
The video title says "Proves" But I have yet to hear the part where they "proved" anything. Any Time stamps in case I'm mistaken?
Calling this a "workplace accident" is dubious at best. Several basic firearm safety rules had to be ignored for this to occur. A reasonable and prudent person would be aware of the danger if you don't...
• Treat Every Firearm as if it is Loaded
• Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe Direction
• Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until Ready to Shoot
• Know Your Target and What's Beyond It
• Secure Firearms and Ammunition Safely
@@TheBlueB0mber work on a movie before writing rules for one.
@@davidjennings4589He didn't write them. They are basic firearm safety rules and following them helps avoid situations like we are seeing now. AB wasn't the one who broke the last rule, but he broke every other one.
@@joelp9486 you have never worked on a film set. I have been a lifeember of the NRA for over fifty years. You point guns at people on sets when the script calls for it.
There is no rule or regulation that applies your so called basic firearm safety rules to anyone. Stop pontificating about things you are completely ignorant of.
I'm also really upset that Hannah Gutierrez only got 18 months. Is that what a life in the United States is worth only 18 months in prison? That is the crappy justice system that we have in the United States of America.
Even if AB hadn’t “pulled the trigger”, (which he def did) he still POINTED the gun at someone!! He was also rushing and used the gun as a literal pointer in other scenes.
@@Keaton.Productions you do not have to pull the trigger to fire that gun. It might explode in your hand instead but, hey ...
@@Keaton.Productions speaking of dangerous stunts. Keaton let a building fall on him once in a film and as hard as it is to believe, he was not even certified to let buildings fall on him. Why don't they have certifications for letting buildings fallen downed arounder, huh, explainame that.
How much did Baldwin pay this "Armorer"?...
He is a gun expert with poor legal skills. He knows nothing about the law and doesn't seem familiar with basic facts in this case. "I've seen cases..." has nothing to with this case especially since there is an eye witnesses standing a few feet from Baldwin who will testify that he watched Baldwin pull the trigger. How much did Baldwin's lawyers pay this man ( who wasn't there) to give this interview?
The same thought ran through my mine. Pay to play.
His opinion is worth just as much as yours
Dave Halls is one of the few to have put his hand up to accept responsibility. Calling him overbearing tells me this so called 'expert' knows very little about the inner workings of that particular set. Also by suggesting that this prosecution is somehow an ego trip by the state is very offensive to Helena & her family .
This guy thinks he is making one point, but he is actually explaining why this SHOULD be criminal. The process is not whats under scrutiny- it is the bad-actors that contributed to the Swiss cheese lining up.
What he is missing is that she did not do all of those things to make sure that that was done and he's the one Alec that was in charge of hiring her he wanted to save money and that's what he got
Actors on a set are still living in the real world. Quit making excuses for Baldwin practicing zero gun safety with a functioning firearm.
They're living in America, which is not quite living in the real world.
That’s right gun went off in his hand by itself. Wonder if this dude got a payoff via one of his lawyers
Of course he did. Almost all expert witnesses are paid by one side. That's how trials work.
Possibly interested in protecting his future in the industry?
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 This expert isn't in the trial. He is just here for this interview.
@@thespicychickennugget There will be an expert that says exactly the same thing in the trial.
A live bullet also "accidentally" grew tiny legs and loaded itself into the gun.
This is so annoying. Why should Hollywood get a pass with regard to standard gun safety?
The judge is a snarky, scary person too
Using a real gun in a make believe situation is negligence. It should be illegal. He is responsible for her death.
real guns are used in filming all the time.
Alec Baldwin is GUILTY as sin. 💀
Sounds like the title to the next alec Baldwin Western.
Then there would be a sequel called not guilty too.
thats not why they are still in court. its about hiw severe the charges will be. negligence vs malice affects the charges.
If he didn't know they gave him a real one than hes not and it was an accident
He didn't prove a damn thing. Comparing this to Brandon Lee is apples and oranges.
Why isn’t be asked to be a witness for the defense?
Same atf gun expert that coulnt get a glock apart.
How does a gun shoots without someone pulling a trigger? Did a ghost did it or something? A poltergeist?
Well a revolver that isnt clean like it supposed to be could fire with a slight bump if its cocked back whats crayzee is i think a revolver is safer than an automatic
Single action triggers have stuck since the Ottoman Empire first used them in Match Locks a Thousand years ago now.
@@BUSCALHOUN No it doesn't and you don't know anything about firearms. You're not very bright are you Sweet Pea? 🥴 🤡 🤤
@@carrollsanders9376 Please explain in mechanical terms how the trigger of a single-action cowboy revolver "sticks."
Nathan; do some research into the revoIver-shooting technique known as 'fanning'...
If the hammer drops while the trigger is held depressed, the revoIver will fire.
So the "expert" that isn't familiar with single action firearms, is saying AB didn't "pull" the trigger. He states that ABs finger was inside the handguard, and the trigger hit his finger as it moved forward due to the hammer being pulled back. So they are not denying his finger touched the trigger. Smh. My brother use to try this defense when he said he didn't hit me, my face hit his hand...
Did he really say that it should be a workplace accident, not a murder charge foh
It's workplace negligence. Which is manslaughter not murder. Murder requires INTENT to kill. There's no evidence of that. But yes he should be charged with manslaughter.
Look at the amount of endless capability cgi has in movies like avengers and other action movies you're telling me they couldn't use prop weapons or airsoft etc any alternative. There should be no reason to have real firearms on set. They belong on the range or for personal self defense. No excuse
The only problem with this “expert’s” theory is that this was a custom made firearm from Italy, which had no inherent flaws with it at the time of the shooting as claimed by defense. This was already verified by several people on set during the HG trial stating that they saw him using it with each position of the hammer cocked at each specified interval without it slipping (i.e., only the pulling of the trigger around 2-3 ft-lb of force) will make it discharge as it was designed. The two firearms experts in this case also said the same thing. The prosecution will dismantle this nonsense in 30s if the defense even goes down this road of fantasy and make believe if they elect to bring in one of their own experts who testifies and makes this absurd claim.
its a very safe industry... so lets not hold people accountable for their actions.
No amount of BS spewed from an expert BS'er erases the death or the negligence leading up to the death. This case is about Baldwin's negligence. Others may have negligence and maybe more negligence. This doesn't absolve Baldwin of his responsibility when handling a firearm.
Armorers are responsible for the transport, storage, and safe use of all weaponry and firearms on film sets. This case should not even be happening, he is the Actor.
@YensecaTube The holder of the firearm is responsible for the discharge of the firearm. There might be others that also have some responsibility, but nothing releases the holder of the firearm from his/her responsibility, not even ignorance of his/her responsibility.
@@gjdewald where is that written? Honest question. I don't think it's part of every entertainment production's rules & procedures, and I doubt it's in their contracts either.
What is THAT headline?? Totally misleading
We will see such chatterers in court
Unless AB intentional threw the gun and killed someone, he shouldn't be charged. It's not the actors that check the guns, it's literally the Armorer that puts the bullets in the gun and declares it a "hot gun" or "cold gun." He was told it's a "cold gun."
This guy is not a lawyer. And what about New Mexico law. Im not interested in your opinion & 15 min of fame. A person died, thus is more than a work accident.
So people dont die in workplace accidents all the time?
He got off because the prosecution screwed up the case. A witness saw Alex with his finger on the trigger during the actual shooting...
Pretty sure Runkle debunked this "expert".
He acts like what he thinks matters.
what a disgusting person that is to call it a workplace accident. wtf.
It's ridiculous.
that's literally what it is lol
It might actually be do to flawed industry policies.
@@skyeait5939WE WANT HIM CHARGED! NOW!!!!!! 🫵🏻😡
Even if it was an accident as this guy is claiming it still doesn’t mean it’s not criminal.
I thought that it was obvious that the boxes of the live ammunition matched boxes that Hannah Reeds dad had at home?
Where is he getting the information that the live ammo came from Seth?
That was not a prop gun it was the real deal 😢❤!!!
Exactly he allowed it for the movie
This DOES NOT prove he did not pull the trigger. This channel is a joke for putting that in the title. While I do believe that this is a work place accident, the firearm expert has proved nothing. Also, stating that the GOP is somehow involved in some sort of which hunt against Baldwin is a silly opinion not based. I do think Alec should not be found guilty, even if he was not following proper protocols. Curious is the “Best Boy” will testify if Alec did in fact, pull the trigger. Super wild that this “expert” is gojng after Seth Kenny. I wonder if they have had bad dealings in the past. Is that considered slander? Anyone know if Kari Morrisey is a republican? LOL… I happen to be fan of hers. That being said, a huge loss. RIP Halyna Hutchins
I don't believe that this could reasonably be brushed off as a workplace accident. That really minimizes the seriousness of mishandling guns. A gun is not a toy. It is not a mere tool. It is a deadly weapon. Even guns that are designed and used solely for sports or for movies are serious business, and "not following proper protocols" when handling a real gun is, in fact, criminal negligence. Baldwin should absolutely be held accountable for his actions, and in a way that is befitting the seriousness of his failures.
He is at fault because a) he didn't check his weapon to see if it's loaded. It is part of gun and on set safety b) he pulled the trigger
Never point a weapon at anything that you are not willing to destroy "Jeff Cooper" Gunsite training academy
A lesson that police officers need to learn.
I'm sure this expert received a big chunk of change for his theory.
That's how trials work.
“In 100 years there’s never been a report of live ammunition on a film set”.
If true, the production company execs should be the ones charged.
One of which is Baldwin...
Baldwins team seems to be releasing it as a PR move or to chcek how many people will fall for this narrative. Baldwin should have been aware that even dropping a hammer on this gun could make it fire. And he broke one of the simplest rules: he aimed this gun at people. This "expert" also seems to not know the fact that we already know from Gutierrez trial. Or he chooses to omit them.
Law and Crime, I know you would want to have access to defense team for future interviews, but you might lose credibility with the viewers if you just spread this propaganda.
I don't think it matters whether Baldwin pulled the trigger or not. The gun was verified as "cold" by two security experts. I think this trigger-pulling issue is moot. I agree with your guest--this case has gone too far.
It certainly matters that he pointed a gun at another person when he had no right to do so.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 I don't agree.

Or rather than being the shiny object he is one of the producers, part of the bankrolling and evidence of hurrying scenes w ammo quickly.
I remember at the time this all happened, one story about why Alec Baldwin was charged was because safety protocols were skipped to save money and Alec Baldwin was somehow responsible for the skipping of those safety protocols.
It's interesting that, that never came up in this video.
Those pesky workplace accidents when the holes in Swiss cheese line up.
MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
"without the trigger 'technically' being pulled" i disagree with this characterization. the trigger HAS been pulled, if the trigger cannot engage the sear. that is not optional. just because it doesn't have a sear reset like a self loading firearm doesn't mean it "isn't being pulled". it's the same thing used for hammer fanning and in other guns like the 1897 for slamfiring. it is known, utilized, and often desired. trying to re-goalpost it because he may not have MEANT to pull the trigger is disingenuous.
"my understanding of the scene" is incorrect, he was not supposed to be pulling out the gun, let alone pointing it. that was for a later wider shot. testimony is that he was only supposed to be partly drawing it, but was going further.
5:11 No.
Don't turn statements into questions... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why didn't they investigate the Prop house that provided the ammo? Didn't an employee of the prop house, on the set, admit to destroying ammo, evidence? Weren't they given immunity to testify? The pictures of that place looked like a hoarder house. A total mess, seems very possible they messed up.
they did - watch Hannah Gutierrez's trial
Come on! I rely on you people to show truth
I think this guy got his Zoom calendar mixed up. "Desperate attempt to convince Alec Baldwin's lawyers to pay me to be a helpful witness to them" was supposed to be a different meeting
The whole cheese speach reminded me of Shrek's "ogres are like onions" speech
“A list celebrity “ 😂
Thank you to your experienced guest for such a solid and level headed explanation. It really does seem to have run off the rails.
He did not say he pulled it all the way back, he said he pulled it,"almost all the way back", then ket go. Thevhammer fell, if there was a round under it there is no reason to expect that it would not go off except by pure luck.
So what if he didn't "pull the trigger"? It is a distinction without a difference. If he pulled the hammer back enough that when it dropped the firearm discharged then he has some responsibility. He also had to be pointing the firearm at the persons injured. No one failure caused this death and injury.
Ultimate it was reckless gun handle skills and operation that caused this tragedy… Baldwin was the reckless gun handler in this case.. He didn’t follow and disregarded every firearm rule and then some.. You Need to break at least two or more of the firearm handling rules at the same time to have something like this happen… Again, Baldwin broke literally Every Firearm Handling Rule and Then Some… Absolutely Reckless.. If he didn’t know better, then he should have… He was in control of the firearm at the time.. His responsibility…. The firearm he used was tested and found to be in 100% working condition… That gun was under his direct control… He is 100% responsible for that weapon no matter what… He accepted a weapon without checking and verifying its condition, then pointed it at another person and pulled the trigger… let’s suppose for shits and giggles the weapon did just go off for no reason.. Baldwin still did not preform his due diligence, plus broke every firearm handling rule and then some.. It doesn’t matter who did what or was supposed to verify that weapon previous to giving it to Baldwin… It was Baldwin’s soul responsibility to verify the condition of that weapon and follow all the firearms safety rules…. END OF STORY….
well yeah it was a mistake that doesn't negate the fact that incompetence was at play, but I don't think Baldwin is at fault here even if he did fire the weapon, he didn't realize how ignorant the team behind him was and he trusted his team. I don't think he will be convicted. OSHA never mentioned Baldwin name once in correlation to the events that led to the incident occurring instead putting fault at the team around him, they should be charging those who ignored standard safety protocols.
What about the industry policies that allowed this to happen?
@@carrollsanders9376Wasn't he a producer of this film?
@@carrollsanders9376 The reason for the tragic outcome was because of ignoring standard safety practices that had already been established by previous production companies when using firearms and blanks. They had two other events of the weapon "misfiring" and no action was taken to make sure procedures were being followed to ensure safety. Dave Halls, the "Safety Coordinator" and "Assistant director" who only shared authority with two other people on set, was the one who took a plea deal. On the day of the incident, Dave, handed Baldwin the gun without checking it assuming it was filled with blanks.
@@rouke3254 Also Baldwin's gun did not misfire the misfires happened because if poor Hammer disapline on People who were supposed to be trained professionals with fire arms, Shara, and the Stunt double.
