A grand jury in New Mexico has charged Alec Baldwin with a fresh count of involuntary manslaughter over a fatal movie set shooting in October 2021. Alec will stand trial in this series as we cover the case live.
The Allegation: Alec Baldwin received the firearm from David Halls, a safety coordinator and assistant director (not the armorer), and was told it was safe (He shouted 'cold gun', meaning the gun was not live). Interestingly, Halls had witnessed two negligent discharges (ND) in the days before the accident and had failed to take any appropriate action.
Also, in his position of Safety coordinator, he should have checked the gun was indeed 'cold' before handing it over, in my opinion. While the buck might stop somewhere else, he is still in the chain of negligence [and pleaded 'no contest' to the charge of 'negligent use of a deadly weapon',] and was convicted of that last year.
Baldwin did not check the firearm, and seemingly the person who handed it to him did not check it either. The armorer was not on set. The armorer should always be on set when firearms are being used to ensure safety protocols are being followed. Usually an armorer should give an 'all clear' once firearms are secured. There is scant information on whether Baldwin had the required on-set safety training mandated. Even if he had been using guns on set for decades, it's still required to go over things with an actor before the scene.
As an actor he may be culpable for the incident if it can be shown that he acted negligently when in possession of the firearm. However, an actor is not supposed to be a firearms expert. That's the reason why productions are required to hire someone who is. However, he was also a producer on the production, so in his capacity as producer, he might have some level of culpability. Especially as the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, said that the producers overruled her and therefore created unsafe work conditions.
However, Gutierrez was found guilty of the misdemeanor of negligent firearm use. It is further alleged that she spent most nights drinking heavily and smoking weed and was very likely hung over when she loaded the weapon.
So far…. I am unimpressed by Baldwin’s attorney.
You may change your mind😢😅
Just started watching you two a few weeks ago. Very much enjoying your speaking styles and angles.
Damaging the gun in a gun trial is a huge deal.
Still can’t hear you
Still no sound
Can’t hear you
Seems odd for the prosecution to object to the evidence that they collected themself? Wonder what that was about.
No sound 😒
Can't hear you
Interesting comment about the second loaded gun on set saying there was no way the actor would have known that it was loaded, seems a different standard was expressed by the witness.
Every real gun guy knows the "accidental discharge" test is bullshit. They use it to intentionally break a firearm making it impossible for the defense to prove their arguement. They give themselves the ability to use the arguement that they "did evrything possible to force the gun to discharge, to the point where it broke and STILL never discharged" with zero video evidence of the test being conducted. And all us gun guys know when they break the part of the sear off that holds the hammer back, it is now impossible to now show how much engagement the sear had at the time with the hammer. If it was polished/sanded down to be a "hair trigger" that customization to a gun alone makes them more prone to real life accidental discharges. And thats all without mentioning a hair or thread obstruction between the sear and hammer, causing the hammer to slip off the sear after cocking. The state is trying to hide evidence that casts doubt on alec Baldwin and overwhelmingly shows neglect with the armorer and prop house. 6 extra live rounds found on set, so are those supposed to be alec's fault too? What about the live rounds in his fellow actors bandolier? Or is that actor supposed to get in trouble for wearing live rounds on set? To me it all boils down to prop house and armorer.
wow well said
This witness has been on the stand all day. She can't seem to remember much, if anything..
Not sure if you realized but you muted the Pietta firearms owner. Had to change to court TV to hear it.
No sound 😢
Prosecution have focused on the gun being cocked. The evidence the prosecution wanted to block in that long break was showing the line in the script that directs the actor to cock the gun. This makes the actor rehearsing cocking the gun a reasonable action.
I am NOT a fan of AB. It was announced several times the gun was cold. Even if AB had unconsciously pulled the trigger, it should have been a dummy round, and no one would have been shot. What if the scene was scripted for him to have actually fired? Was the cylinder ever spun so the round placement was random? Or was the live round specifically placed so that it would be THE SPECIFIC round fired? Has AB actually been trained to detect live vs dummy rounds? Did he load his own gun? That is the job of the armorers and prop managers. They are the ones who are responsible to check, double check, and triple check all ammo, load the guns and all props BEFORE the props are handed to the actor. Make sure knives have slide away plastic blades, medieval maces are plastic with rubber spikes, etc. All this prep work is usually done BEFORE the actor ever puts a hand on the prop. This is why productions hire and rely so heavily on knowledgeable, trained, skilled, experienced armorers and prop managers to prepare things ahead of time and maintain safety and security. Detection of live ammo was NOT AB's job.
The only question that needs to be answered is "Who brought a live Alec Baldwin onto the set"
So... If I put clothes in the bottom of a box, guns, ammo and explosives on top of them and top it off with more clothes, Poppel wouldn't have found them.
The prosecutions opening statement was strong
Its not a prop gun if it fires live rounds.
Aren’t you looking forward to his reality show? Sarcasm implied.
NO SOUNDS
She is a crime scene technician and the questions that Alex was asking she should have known the answers to. Absolutely! She was not being forthcoming and truthful in her responses. He was proving that.
No sound
Courtney Clenny and Sarah Boone !! Oh man you just win me over Chandler. Get ‘em
Marissa looked invested in the outcome from the first question. Claiming to not remember that she was told the test would damage the gun is not believable. Witness looks to be repeatedly lying.
Good morning!
The nickle primer means nothing. Primers come in brass or nickel colored they work the same cost the same. Like some cars are blue some are red. Nothing inherently wrong with using either primer color type. Both very common.
Same thing with Starline brass, its super common many companies use it. Reloaders use it, I've used it. Same thing with power types. You can buy 10 different powers for colts or more. They all look a little different.
You can make all dummies with any brand of brass. You can make live ammo with starline + dummies with starline and use silver or brass primers or no primers. Mix and match brand of primer and brand of brass don't matter.
Its not well regulated the most dangerous is when they use a fake primer and no drill holes then you really can't tell unless you dry fire it. Those should not be allowed.
But it is silly to think if they find live ammo using starline brass = something is a foot. That could be like going into a clothing store and finding a cotton shirt and saying Ah ha we did it! This store carrys cotton. Starline brass is so common that you will find it in many gun stores means zero. Red herring, most reloaders use starline, its super common.
Muted
2:37:55 Why does she always smirk so happily when she says "I do not recall"?
Do we believe that someone is told that they had cocked a gun that killed someone and they don't remember. I would think hard one to forget.
Im surprised that i was on opposite side as you guys with this case. The prosecutor is awful. And Baldwin should never have been charged
Is Seth charged with anything?
We just went through the Karen Reed trial where weeks were spent looking at people who Had been charged with nothing.
No spund😢
Spurs did break her and then got her to make herself look even worse.
The last question got her agreeing to things that are not true. The FBI did not say that the testing would destroy or damage the gun. They only said that there was a possibility that it could damage the gun.
The State should be able to recover a lot of things. It looks like Morrissey got angry, when Spurs played her. He gave her the wrong report, which elicited an Objection from her. She had every right to Object to the report she was given but it wasn't the same one he gave to the Court. It made her look flustered and confused, Objecting and having it Overruled.
It was a dirty trick for Spark to play but it could end up biting him in the butt. The Court may require verification that all future documents from him are the same. The court has other options they can use as well. Spyro's biggest success was in making the DA angry.
If she remains angry it will throw her off her game.
It’s looking like the state wants his money
I like the defense lawyer
Yes
Poppel made it easy to expose her incompetence.
Too Too Too much interuption
Im sure miss baldwin wont be lonely while alex is in prison, lol
What prison? 🤣🤣🤣
Un mute
Again does not matter about Seth Kenny yes I think the live round snuck in because of him. Side topic, would not matter all rounds are assumed LIVE. That is why there is safety protocols, its assumed. People go to the gun range and use live ammo all day long and sometimes they bring blanks for what ever reason. They could even bring an armorer with them. They could even shoot someone by negligence. They don't get to point to their buddy armorer and blame him. It works like that in fantasy land.
State laws + SAG = no one gets hurt if followed independent of if there are or are not live rounds on set. Stop getting side tracked.
BTW I don't find that witness to be a liar as much as she is annoyed by his attempts. I see right though him yet you don't. If the jury is as clueless as you then maybe it will work, I doubt it.
Yay!!!
What just cut the sound
Makes it ok ✅
Hi Larry I just wanted to see if you have heard the news. John Cook is in jail. Yay.
Regardless … Baldwin should have checked gun chamber. He was reckless and pointed gun at HH … and pulled the trigger! 💥
Then anyone would be able to argue that he opened the gun and could have introduced a live round. Never opening the revolvers cylinder keeps the onis of responsibility and the error of not identifying the live round squarely on the armorer Hannah and AD Dave Halls.
Kari Morrissey does not bother me in the least but apparent she does to you. Where does this biased view from you come from? I've heard many people say they are annoyed with Spiro. He only annoys me because he clearly is working with nothing so has to bring up non relevant side topics and try to make them sound compelling. Can't blame him for trying but he has nothing to work with.
Cheer-leading? its troubling.
Sorry for the constructive critique but it will only make you better if you listen.
Yes she re rehabilitated that witness. You are going to have to TRY to drop your bias try to be more like "The Lawyer You know" stay neutral which clearly you are not on this case. You maybe not know it but its obvious. Biased people on you tube are a dime a dozen honest neutral are rare. Try to be rare.
He broke the three rules of gun safety 1. didn’t check to see it was clear 2. aimed at something he didn’t want to destroy 3. Pulled the trigger now it’s consequence time 😢
There was a professional armor hired to assure safety.
Gutierrez the armorer knew she had mixed live and dummy ammunition. She did not separate the live and dummy ammunition, nor check the weapon for live ammunition that should not have been allowed on the set.
Gutierrez was a black out drunk each evening while on set. She started every day in a hangover fog.
Gutierrez allowed weapons to be used during filming to be used in a live fire range day the day before the shooting.
The weapons and dummy ammunition should have locked up when not used in filming. If this woman had known and performed her job, no shooting would have happened regardless of how inexperienced Baldwin was with weapons.
@@markmitchell457as a producer on set it was baldwin’s responsibility to make sure safety rules were being followed, plus he had been previously through safety training many times in the past and knew the rules that he himself didn’t follow. By what he did in violating those rules should be enough to convict him.
@@markh4473As a producer, Baldwin delegated gun safety to the prop master and asst dir. They screwed up. So they're responsible.
So how the hell are actors supposed to portray reality then if the follow normal gun safety? So the cameras roll, and I'm pointing a blank firing replica gun just to the left of a fellow actor. With visible earplugs in my ears and pull the trigger to fire blank rounds. Meanwhile squibs go off on the other actor and he reacts as if getting shot, even though it obviously looks like the round would've missed. Hahaha or only filming scenes from the actors front and never showing what their aiming at? Like how they show dialog scenes?😂
@@GRoos-b4z no it’s still ultimately his decisions that caused her death. As I also stated he had been through numerous on set safety classes before from previous movies and knew he was violating them. If it was anyone other than a famous person they would be in jail for involuntary manslaughter.
This woman is fin useless!!!
Can't hear you
Yes
