Replay and I’m getting real sick already of hearing the phrase “black letter law”. I swear, black letter law is gonna be the new “what, if any” and I’m not looking forward to it.
I would advise Baldwin to stop folding his arms and looking pissed 😃Folding arms is a strong body language. Bored. Resistant. Arrogance. Closed to comments.
It can mean many things. Palms towards body can show anxiety and a need for reassurance. He’s probably feeling that plus all the emotions/attitudes you mentioned too at different times. I watched some of this video and most of today’s trial. He definitely looked like he had contempt on his face a lot. It’s not a good look to show the jury. Sometimes he also looked sleepy, especially towards the end of the day.
Yeah I agree with all you said and if I may add to it, not being very well versed in the trial law myself I really appreciate how fair he is to both sides of the argument and makes great arguments for each especially with the Karen read trial
I didn't catch the live and I'm only a few minutes in so I don't know the concrete but.....when I clicked to start this video I was like what the hell is this!! It's not flattering
I have no idea how it pans out legally, but... Working in production for 16 years, I do know... In reality, the EP title is for no other reason than financial. So no EP, Director, Actor, or any creative person is going to be directly involved in the day to day happenings of the crew and what they're up to. They don't want to be. Ironically, the people who WOULD be directly responsible for that, I have never heard mentioned in anything since the incident... The Production Manager and Line Producer. They're directly involved in hiring, firing, and the day to day issues of the crew. If people came to them and complained, and they ignored it... the buck really stops with them. Not that I don't think Alec should be punished, he should... But the fact that we have a 5 day trial for "illegal bookkeeping", and just 8 days for manslaughter... Says a lot about the state of the country, and makes me think he will get no punishment. Hope I'm wrong.
Yep Line Producer Gabrielle Pickle is way more liable. If they’re going to charge Alec because he was a producer, they should be charging her and a couple other producers too.
At least you're talking about the facts, I see so many saying he should be convicted because he's arrogant, mean, or annoying. That's not how the law is supposed to work.
He was not that type of producer, people don’t understand what a producer is, the type of producer he was on that film was he was in charge of getting the funding , it’s not the producer who is in charge of the sets or the armoury
Working filmmaker here. I’ve done many films of similar budget levels with action and gunfire on set. It’s absolutely correct not to be able to use both actor and producer arguments. 1) most actors with comparable celebrity level names who have producer credits on a film are OFFERED that title and credit as a way to get them to sign on to the film by the ACTUAL producers controlling the film production hires. Unless it’s a film the actor has also written and is also directing, they have virtually no control over, input or even knowledge of ANY of the crew being hired and their input is generally limited to other actors being considered for costar roles as well as script input and marketing input. When it comes to how the set is run, they can talk to the other producers if they have an issue, but they are not the ones hiring and firing anyone and they are definitely not the one instituting any of the structure on set for how things are run. So if it’s a matter of negligence by the producers, then it should be addressed to the group of producers as a whole and there would be MANY other producers in line ahead of Baldwin who are FAR more responsible than he would be for the negligence in who was hired and what safety precautions were in place while filming. Furthermore, at the moments when a producer/actor is on set acting, he/she is in NO way performing duties as a producer. He is being given direction by the directors and crew about where to stand, where to look, what to do, etc.
In my honest opinion the people most responsible for this accident are the armorer, the first assistant director (who is responsible for all safety checks and is the one who is supposed to have cleared the safety of any weapon on set before its handed to any actors or other crew members) and the specific producers who were actually in charge with raising funds as well as hiring and firing crew…specifically the producers who’s company would have been the one to make all the contracts including Baldwin’s contract.

Makes sense to not allow the producer theory, he wasn’t the only producer and they aren’t charging the other producers, it’s clear they charged him as the actor holding the gun
I think the other producers all took a plea deal. Almost everyone related to the issue has a deal. Only Hannah and Alec refused any deal or liability and that's why they're on trial.
@@sugiz2067 I don’t think the other producers took a plea deal as they were never charged, if they had accepted criminal responsibility that would have become public, I’m sure prosecutors would have proudly announced it if that was the case.
No one ever comments on the fact that a set/weapons expert testified in the armours trial that actors don't normally check the weapons, only if they want warm and fuzzies.
That doesn't change the fact that AB is culpable. New Mexico law trumps any "rules" on set. Actors don't get a pass just because they happen to be on a movie set when they do something that violates the law.
@kassiopiajudkins2722 Would you agree that if there's a scene where the actor throws someone through a table and a nail that's not supposed to be there strikes the person in their spine and paralyzes them, that this is the actors fault because they didn't inspect the table to make sure it's one of those fake tables that is supposed to easily collapse? Just a question no insinuating
Should the CEO of a hospital be liable for every action of staff and doctors in that hospital? Should the chief of police be held liable for an illegal action by every police officer? Nope.
Baldwin did not abdicate his role as producer to perform. Multiple dialogues and actions on set placed him firmly in charge. Multiple events on set showed that he set the ground rules and no one wanted to risk displeasing him. With privilege comes responsibility.
There's also the issue of split focus... which, I honestly don't know how much he focuses beyond alec bladwin but most ppl would have all the producer duties on their mind as well as lead actor. If he was 'the 1' who chose NM for $ reasons, I'd imagine he had a good bit of his own $ tied up here. Prosecution isn't able to put this forward unless defense opens the door at this point, right? Being that it's 'producer stuff'
Monetary issues, crew strikes, scheduling issues and so on may have been on his mind for most of the time and could be at play here. However, when you see him rushing the armourers in that scene shown in the other trial, that was Alex the actor, in the zone. It was introduced in the Gutierrez trial because it was the boss demanding a speedy reload. But it was the actor who recklessly waved a gun around, who discharged it too close to a cameraman and who had his fingers on a trigger causing a death. Alex the star of the film, intent on keeping his star burning bright, was reckless in that pursuit. I see why the judge did this.
A producer's responsibilities on and/or off set can vary widely depending on the project. I'm curious to know exactly what Baldwin's responsibilities were understood to be and what other producers were on set day to day to help oversee production.
@tibb814 I don't think he was in charge of everything, but he certainly would have known who the armorer was & her background.. Plus, he certainly would have known about budgets & issues going on..
I run a nursing floor - I have lead specialty’s run certain positions- my job is to assure they follow protocols- if they drop the ball Lead RN is the fall nurse-
I say no to producer highlight. Producers can have different roles within production. It’s not clear what he was in charge of as a producer. Sometimes producers are listed because they are financial backers. I don’t feel there is enough understanding of what his producer role was.
I don't care what any one says the gun was in his hand and he kill her.........I was taught as a child how to treat a gun and the first thing you do is to check to make sue it empty, he HAS a lot experience with guns...... he belongs in jail and that young lady should have NOT have gone to jail he did it and he needs to stand up and take what's coming....
I agree with you Peter. Objection with just one word seems fair and time productive. Some are predicting it will cause less objections, but it may cause more if lawyers test the format by constantly going to sidebar disrupting testimony, then the judge will change her mind.
I don't understand why Baldwin is on trial. Unless he specifically ordered live rounds to be brought on set, it is the Armorers job to insure NO Live Rounds are permitted on any movie set!!!! Who brought the live ammo on set? IF Gutteriz (?) felt rushed she shd have called her union, lodged a complaint and left the set.
The producer is responsible! Period! Having worked on sets with firearms as an actor, the safety protocols are extremely important. Baldwin ran a loose set and skimped on things. People walked off his set due to safety concerns!
It is inconsistent though for Bryan Carpenter to testify that it is the armorer's sole responsibility to feret out live rounds and ensure the gun is safe, and then argue that Baldwin is still responsible for things that go wrong after that. If the armorer has 100% responsibility, then by implication Baldwin has 0% responsibility. That is a contradiction.
Judge - “I don’t like these motions”. Because it holds her accountable and encourages her to be consistent. This judge is awful. She allowed the prosecution to walk all over her in the last trial and pull so much bs and now she is punishing the lawyers for it. Her solution hurts both sides all because she doesn’t know how to be an authority. She does this throughout the hearing. It’s all or nothing.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 I agree she does compromise on some motions and I agree with most of her rulings on those. I meant her problem solving is all or nothing.
That might not work out in their favour. Only objecting when you have a good argument would be better. If she sees you making spurious objections she’s less likely to reverse her ruling and the jury will hate you when the prosecution 95% of the time comes back and say’s “As I asked, blah blah blahl
"Baldwin starred in the 2016 film 'Blind,' and, according to Jennifer Gelfer, who was lead producer on the project, Baldwin received an executive producer credit on the film as part of his deal as an actor but served no other producorial role. However, he was still very much a leader on the set, even bringing in his own stunt coordinator for a few scenes when the budget was tight." Because not all "producers" are producers. There are 13 "producers" on this film, but they aren't all in charge, and they aren't all BEING charged because they aren't all Alec Baldwin. This is 100% about politics and personality, not titles. I'm sure people WERE intimidated by Alec Baldwin and reluctant to confront him - as they would be with ANY star on ANY set. Just as there are now 20 songwriters on every song (because everyone wants ownership whether they deserve it or not), stars now get producer titles. That title could give Baldwin script approval. It could be that he's accepting a lower salary as an actor in exchange for the possibility of more money in the long run. It could be for the purpose of making him eligible for best picture awards. He might have invested some of his own money. It could just be a courtesy title. Nobody knows exactly what responsibilities, if any, he actually had as a "producer."
Also, I’ll say I’m a vote AGAINST the new thumbnails… I like the setup/aesthetic of them, but I don’t care for the pics of Peter chosen. They don’t look like you. They look like LYK posing as a WWE character. You’re much more handsome than they portray.
Man, I almost didn't even recognize Baldwin. I kind of couldn't care less how old he is, but it's so strange to me that he has such young children. So off topic but I just had to comment 😊
I saw someone else say this via superchat. I’m surprised! I think he looks more like himself here than he did in the videos of him on the set of Rust. Glad to see the beard and long hair was just for the character, I guess
@@forpetessake3532 sick to have kids when you want to have them? I think everyone should be able to have them when they want to because it’s their life and who is anyone to tell another what to do with their own lives?
I read black letter law, and in black letter law, the black letter law says that letters are black and laws are letters. That is the black letter law of black letter laws.
I am stunned at the ruling out producer theory. I think it is how he is most responsible. He was both during the movie, he should be both on trial. If they, producers, put safety before money, people would not have walked off set and Helena would have been in front of a screen in video village, not in front of a loaded gun.
Trust your instincts on the thumbnails. The photos aren't great. I get that your editor is trying to amp the drama. But you should keep pushing for them to find a way to achieve that in a manner that doesn't tarnish your overall image.
Not loving the new thumbnails. The old ones caught my attention and were better. My husband and I have a RUclips channel and we have nearly 200,000 subs in 9 months…plus he his a producer and director for a national tv show and even he thinks they are not flattering and not do quite catch the attention of people as they should. But your content is still amazing!!! Love telling people to look you up.
Whats up with the new thumbnails. I think the old style was better. You dont look like you imo. I noticed it right away. Sorry im not trying to be rude or anything like that and i know my opinion wasn't asked for but i had to. ❤ From New Hampshire
I agree with the judge. The prosecution can’t have it both ways. When the incident happened, Baldwin was in his actor role. He was not acting as a producer during that time.
Baldwin can not escape the fact, he failed to check the gun before pulling the trigger. He's an experienced actor & producer so, he should've known better.....NO EXCUSE!!
They CAN talk about OSHA but it would open the door to his status as a producer which has been excluded from the jury. The def wants to talk about it but does NOT want the jury to know AB was in charge and basically has free reign to disregard or follow safety bulletins put forth by SAG with regards to firearms safety
@@Go_Ask_M0mI understand what you are saying, but going WAY back, it was Baldwin that talked about being the producer and he gave G/R a hard time because he wanted it to all be HIS WAY. Oooo, not sure I agree here…
@@Go_Ask_M0m he wasn’t in charge, he was a creative producer. The AD was in charge of safety on set. SAG safety regulations perhaps, but many in the industry will tell you that actors point and shoot guns at other actors regularly
With what the State charged him with, I am glad the Judge didnt allow the producer theory. Thank you , Peter, for bringing us the quicker version, with great detail, amd explanation.
Re: the producer theory, I agree that he was charged as an actor and producer theory should be out. Producer roles are confusing as is, in this case management would have to delegate many roles including the arms handling.
I think you would like the thumbnails better if the saturation was turned down it’s so high lol. They’re just edited super weird, but you look great nevertheless.
I believe the state should be able to argue the producer theory that he’s culpable as a an actor and culpable as the producer and head of this film. They had no budget. They hired HG on the cheap and made her do 2 jobs with no staff. One of the reasons HH died was inexperienced hires and bad judgment on the producer side.
This producer stuff is civil liability. The Rust production company was fined by OSHA in 2022 with over $136,000 for on-set safety failures. They settled for $100,000. Alec Baldwin has been charged as the guy who held the gun and shot an innocent person. Alec Baldwin knew it was a real firearm capable of firing live rounds, assumed the gun was loaded with dummies, pointed it at Halyna Hutchins, cocked the hammer, touched the trigger, and killed Halyna Hutchins. This is the very definition of involuntary manslaughter through negligent handling of a firearm. The applicable state laws are NM Stat § 30-7-4 and § 30-2-3. He was legally responsible for safely handling the firearm and not endangering someone else. He could have done this by checking the firearm for any live rounds, not pointing it at Halyna Hutchins, not cocking the hammer, or not touching the trigger. ANY of these actions would have saved Halyna Hutchins' life. The combination of ALL of his actions constitute criminally negligent handling of a firearm.
My husband is a hunter, and has been shooting guns since he was a kid. You don’t cock a gun, and a bullet is released. AND never point a gun at anyone, paintball, water, any gun!
LMTT. Basic firearm safety. Went through my state's CCW course, and this was drilled into my head: LMTT. Treat every firearm as it's LOADED until you yourself check the chamber and clip. Keep your MUZZLE in a safe direction at all times since that is where the bullet will go (loaded or un). Know your TARGET and what is beyond it. Keep your finger off the TRIGGER unless you intend to destroy your target. With a firearm that has a hammer, the bullet isn't projected until the hammer meets the pin, which is caused by either pulling the trigger, or fast releasing the hammer - both of which are human interaction UNLESS something is wrong with the mechanism that holds the hammer in place, but I haven't heard anything of that nature. This trial should be interesting.
Re the thumbnails. You are a good looking man and I usually dislike photos of myself but with these pics while yes, it’s you but I don’t think they’re a good representation of you. I agree they need work.

That doesn't change the fact that AB is culpable. New Mexico law trumps any "rules" on set. Actors don't get a pass just because they happen to be on a movie set when they do something that violates the law.
@kassiopiajudkins2722 Would you agree that if there's a scene where the actor throws someone through a table and a nail that's not supposed to be there strikes the person in their spine and paralyzes them, that this is the actors fault because they didn't inspect the table to make sure it's one of those fake tables that is supposed to easily collapse?
Just a question no insinuating
Should the CEO of a hospital be liable for every action of staff and doctors in that hospital? Should the chief of police be held liable for an illegal action by every police officer? Nope.
THIS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I agree with everything you said.
Baldwin did not abdicate his role as producer to perform. Multiple dialogues and actions on set placed him firmly in charge. Multiple events on set showed that he set the ground rules and no one wanted to risk displeasing him. With privilege comes responsibility.
😅
There's also the issue of split focus... which, I honestly don't know how much he focuses beyond alec bladwin but most ppl would have all the producer duties on their mind as well as lead actor.
If he was 'the 1' who chose NM for $ reasons, I'd imagine he had a good bit of his own $ tied up here.
Prosecution isn't able to put this forward unless defense opens the door at this point, right? Being that it's 'producer stuff'
But he wasnt the solo producer, so if he is culpable then they all are, yet hes up there by himself
He was not the only producer and did not have unilateral power. His role as an actor can be considered but thats it.
Monetary issues, crew strikes, scheduling issues and so on may have been on his mind for most of the time and could be at play here. However, when you see him rushing the armourers in that scene shown in the other trial, that was Alex the actor, in the zone. It was introduced in the Gutierrez trial because it was the boss demanding a speedy reload. But it was the actor who recklessly waved a gun around, who discharged it too close to a cameraman and who had his fingers on a trigger causing a death. Alex the star of the film, intent on keeping his star burning bright, was reckless in that pursuit. I see why the judge did this.
Old thumbnails are preferable
A producer's responsibilities on and/or off set can vary widely depending on the project. I'm curious to know exactly what Baldwin's responsibilities were understood to be and what other producers were on set day to day to help oversee production.

But he was the one handling the gun..
@@anitabee57he wasn’t handling gun as producer; he was an actor in that role
@anitabee57 he was handling a gun but its up to the armorer to keep the gun safe
I agree, a lot of people seem to assume the title put him in charge of everything, which is not how producer titles work in movies.
@tibb814
I don't think he was in charge of everything, but he certainly would have known who the armorer was & her background..
Plus, he certainly would have known about budgets & issues going on..
Thanks Peter, what a long journey this has been . Praying for Helena’s family 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I run a nursing floor - I have lead specialty’s run certain positions- my job is to assure they follow protocols- if they drop the ball Lead RN is the fall nurse-
Amen to that
I worked a busy Micu with new nurses right out of school.
I say no to producer highlight. Producers can have different roles within production.
It’s not clear what he was in charge of as a producer. Sometimes producers are listed because they are financial backers. I don’t feel there is enough understanding of what his producer role was.
Thank you Peter!!! This episode was very interesting!!! I love your show!
Thanks for the recap and looking forward to you covering this trial. Just my two cents, but I don't care for the new thumbnail graphics either!!
Watching on replay but I definitely think the state should be able to use the producer theory.
I agree Peter...keep working on the thumb nail pics😊
The state should not be allowed to argue the producer theory because that was not part of the basis by which they obtained the grand jury indictment.
If only Karen Read had such a fair, neutral, DOMINANT judge....
Yeah she would be found guilty
@simonevotruba9632 I apologize that you don't know how the justice system actually works... there needs to be this thing called 'Evidence' first!
I don't care what any one says the gun was in his hand and he kill her.........I was taught as a child how to treat a gun and the first thing you do is to check to make sue it empty, he HAS a lot experience with guns...... he belongs in jail and that young lady should have NOT have gone to jail he did it and he needs to stand up and take what's coming....
As you and Runkle of The Bailey outlined, Baldwin's confidence in the interviews will hurt him.
20:51 Producer theory seems more appropriate for a CIVIL case, not criminal
Going to disagree with Azam... (sp)? But your old thumbnails are better! No shade. Love LYL and the gang here... and Azam!
I’m LOVING the timestamps!! Thank you! Not that it was just for me. lol. But thanks! 💕
Never Never point any type of gun towards anyone
I agree with you Peter. Objection with just one word seems fair and time productive. Some are predicting it will cause less objections, but it may cause more if lawyers test the format by constantly going to sidebar disrupting testimony, then the judge will change her mind.
I don't understand why Baldwin is on trial. Unless he specifically ordered live rounds to be brought on set, it is the Armorers job to insure NO Live Rounds are permitted on any movie set!!!! Who brought the live ammo on set? IF Gutteriz (?) felt rushed she shd have called her union, lodged a complaint and left the set.
Thnx Mr Dragos, Great explanations for laypersons such as myself!
I love this arguing better than the trial. Short clipped and to the point!
The producer is responsible! Period! Having worked on sets with firearms as an actor, the safety protocols are extremely important. Baldwin ran a loose set and skimped on things. People walked off his set due to safety concerns!
Love how you bring just the important stuff ❤
Yes, as a producer who was responsible for hiring the armorer and has the power to fire and order her around, he is. Alec was setting his stage.
It is inconsistent though for Bryan Carpenter to testify that it is the armorer's sole responsibility to feret out live rounds and ensure the gun is safe, and then argue that Baldwin is still responsible for things that go wrong after that. If the armorer has 100% responsibility, then by implication Baldwin has 0% responsibility. That is a contradiction.
Gun law’s unequivocal ly say the person holding the gun is responsible for what happens. Follow the gun safety rules and no one gets hurt. Simple
@@kelliekriss2131 No, gun laws don't actually say that.
Judge - “I don’t like these motions”. Because it holds her accountable and encourages her to be consistent. This judge is awful. She allowed the prosecution to walk all over her in the last trial and pull so much bs and now she is punishing the lawyers for it. Her solution hurts both sides all because she doesn’t know how to be an authority. She does this throughout the hearing. It’s all or nothing.
There were a number that were granted in part and denied in part. Not allor nothing.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 I agree she does compromise on some motions and I agree with most of her rulings on those. I meant her problem solving is all or nothing.
Appreciate how even keeled and reasonable and fair you are with your content!! Thank you so much :) Enjoy your stuff so much.
I believe that the correct phrase is even keeled but I totally and completely agree with everything that you said! 🫶🏽
@@sngray11 yes typo on that thank you haha
I don't love the new thumbnails, especially the one with Peter gasping. It feels disingenuous and clickbaity. Love the content though ❤
Well that walking up all the time objecting would be a pain, I'd probably do it more than necessary to see if I could get her to reside that.
I hope they’re ready to get their steps in!
That might not work out in their favour.
Only objecting when you have a good argument would be better.
If she sees you making spurious objections she’s less likely to reverse her ruling and the jury will hate you when the prosecution 95% of the time comes back and say’s “As I asked, blah blah blahl
@@lindacarson2865 is because this prosecutor has no self control and in the last trial she was loud fighting the lawyer like little kids.
"Baldwin starred in the 2016 film 'Blind,' and, according to Jennifer Gelfer, who was lead producer on the project, Baldwin received an executive producer credit on the film as part of his deal as an actor but served no other producorial role. However, he was still very much a leader on the set, even bringing in his own stunt coordinator for a few scenes when the budget was tight."
Because not all "producers" are producers. There are 13 "producers" on this film, but they aren't all in charge, and they aren't all BEING charged because they aren't all Alec Baldwin. This is 100% about politics and personality, not titles. I'm sure people WERE intimidated by Alec Baldwin and reluctant to confront him - as they would be with ANY star on ANY set. Just as there are now 20 songwriters on every song (because everyone wants ownership whether they deserve it or not), stars now get producer titles. That title could give Baldwin script approval. It could be that he's accepting a lower salary as an actor in exchange for the possibility of more money in the long run. It could be for the purpose of making him eligible for best picture awards. He might have invested some of his own money. It could just be a courtesy title. Nobody knows exactly what responsibilities, if any, he actually had as a "producer."
My humble opinion...new thumbnails look cheesy.
Baldwin looks like Baldwin to me only with glasses.
These new thumbnails are killing me. It hurts to say that about this channel.
Also, I’ll say I’m a vote AGAINST the new thumbnails… I like the setup/aesthetic of them, but I don’t care for the pics of Peter chosen. They don’t look like you. They look like LYK posing as a WWE character. You’re much more handsome than they portray.
Man, I almost didn't even recognize Baldwin. I kind of couldn't care less how old he is, but it's so strange to me that he has such young children. So off topic but I just had to comment 😊
I saw someone else say this via superchat. I’m surprised! I think he looks more like himself here than he did in the videos of him on the set of Rust. Glad to see the beard and long hair was just for the character, I guess
he thinks it shows he’s still macho - manly - it’s sick
@@brooklynbasement hollywood is fake
Some have them late in life... Look at Elton John
@@forpetessake3532 sick to have kids when you want to have them? I think everyone should be able to have them when they want to because it’s their life and who is anyone to tell another what to do with their own lives?
I am not sure I have 8 days for Morrisey in me…
LOL
On that set they had candy in a fridge. Someone in that Church scene bit into the frozen candy and yelled out "Cold GUM" then Baldwin started blastin.
Thank you Peter. Informative as always. Stay safe. ❤
I read black letter law, and in black letter law, the black letter law says that letters are black and laws are letters. That is the black letter law of black letter laws.
I am stunned at the ruling out producer theory. I think it is how he is most responsible. He was both during the movie, he should be both on trial. If they, producers, put safety before money, people would not have walked off set and Helena would have been in front of a screen in video village, not in front of a loaded gun.
This is great for a retired mind!
Trust your instincts on the thumbnails. The photos aren't great. I get that your editor is trying to amp the drama. But you should keep pushing for them to find a way to achieve that in a manner that doesn't tarnish your overall image.
I’m very interested, thank you!
I like the old pictures of Peter way better, not that my vote matters lol
Your vote matters 😊
I agree with the judge to not prosecute him as a producer
Not loving the new thumbnails. The old ones caught my attention and were better. My husband and I have a RUclips channel and we have nearly 200,000 subs in 9 months…plus he his a producer and director for a national tv show and even he thinks they are not flattering and not do quite catch the attention of people as they should. But your content is still amazing!!! Love telling people to look you up.
What's yours and your husbands channel called?
Whats up with the new thumbnails. I think the old style was better. You dont look like you imo. I noticed it right away. Sorry im not trying to be rude or anything like that and i know my opinion wasn't asked for but i had to.
❤ From New Hampshire
I agree, its weird! It looks so fake and Peter is SOOO real!
Good. We are interested!!!
Love your videos 🤗
I agree with the judge. The prosecution can’t have it both ways. When the incident happened, Baldwin was in his actor role. He was not acting as a producer during that time.
Baldwin can not escape the fact, he failed to check the gun before pulling the trigger. He's an experienced actor & producer so, he should've known better.....NO EXCUSE!!
Gratitude as always 🙏
They can’t talk about the OSHA report??? That is insane to me as it follows the bullet from the day of the tragedy back to when it was made
They CAN talk about OSHA but it would open the door to his status as a producer which has been excluded from the jury.
The def wants to talk about it but does NOT want the jury to know AB was in charge and basically has free reign to disregard or follow safety bulletins put forth by SAG with regards to firearms safety
@@Go_Ask_M0mI understand what you are saying, but going WAY back, it was Baldwin that talked about being the producer and he gave G/R a hard time because he wanted it to all be HIS WAY. Oooo, not sure I agree here…
@@truecrimenut6696for sure. I was just explaining the lack of testimony/evidence by osha. He f*^%ed himself with the media tour he took
@@Go_Ask_M0m he wasn’t in charge, he was a creative producer. The AD was in charge of safety on set. SAG safety regulations perhaps, but many in the industry will tell you that actors point and shoot guns at other actors regularly
With what the State charged him with, I am glad the Judge didnt allow the producer theory. Thank you , Peter, for bringing us the quicker version, with great detail, amd explanation.
I dont like the new thunbnails
This is a comment expressing interest in daily recaps of this trial
Re: the producer theory, I agree that he was charged as an actor and producer theory should be out. Producer roles are confusing as is, in this case management would have to delegate many roles including the arms handling.
I think you would like the thumbnails better if the saturation was turned down it’s so high lol. They’re just edited super weird, but you look great nevertheless.
This trial is going to be a wild ride! Thank you Peter for discussing the pretrial motions and all of the chaos prior to this trial beginning! 💗
These new thumbnail pics gotta go Peter 😂
Good call on not allowing the state to attack from both actor and producer. As far as punishment before misconduct on the objections stinks
No, just no to the new thumbnail.
A true friend would tell you no. No no no
Already sick of hearing "black letter law"
I believe the state should be able to argue the producer theory that he’s culpable as a an actor and culpable as the producer and head of this film. They had no budget. They hired HG on the cheap and made her do 2 jobs with no staff. One of the reasons HH died was inexperienced hires and bad judgment on the producer side.
He wasn’t the producer involved in hiring her though. And Ryan Smith was the top producer.
This producer stuff is civil liability. The Rust production company was fined by OSHA in 2022 with over $136,000 for on-set safety failures. They settled for $100,000. Alec Baldwin has been charged as the guy who held the gun and shot an innocent person.
Alec Baldwin knew it was a real firearm capable of firing live rounds, assumed the gun was loaded with dummies, pointed it at Halyna Hutchins, cocked the hammer, touched the trigger, and killed Halyna Hutchins. This is the very definition of involuntary manslaughter through negligent handling of a firearm. The applicable state laws are NM Stat § 30-7-4 and § 30-2-3.
He was legally responsible for safely handling the firearm and not endangering someone else. He could have done this by checking the firearm for any live rounds, not pointing it at Halyna Hutchins, not cocking the hammer, or not touching the trigger. ANY of these actions would have saved Halyna Hutchins' life. The combination of ALL of his actions constitute criminally negligent handling of a firearm.
Thanks as always!!
Thanks Peter!
Wish we still had Judge A.
Should NOT be able to use producer role.
My husband is a hunter, and has been shooting guns since he was a kid. You don’t cock a gun, and a bullet is released. AND never point a gun at anyone, paintball, water, any gun!
LMTT. Basic firearm safety. Went through my state's CCW course, and this was drilled into my head: LMTT.
Treat every firearm as it's LOADED until you yourself check the chamber and clip.
Keep your MUZZLE in a safe direction at all times since that is where the bullet will go (loaded or un).
Know your TARGET and what is beyond it.
Keep your finger off the TRIGGER unless you intend to destroy your target.
With a firearm that has a hammer, the bullet isn't projected until the hammer meets the pin, which is caused by either pulling the trigger, or fast releasing the hammer - both of which are human interaction UNLESS something is wrong with the mechanism that holds the hammer in place, but I haven't heard anything of that nature. This trial should be interesting.
Love your shirt ❤
Well that’s a bummer. The objections, the grounds and the judge’s decisions are one of the best parts of the trial for me.
Re the thumbnails. You are a good looking man and I usually dislike photos of myself but with these pics while yes, it’s you but I don’t think they’re a good representation of you. I agree they need work.
Is Black Letter Law the same thing as Lawful Law? LOL
