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.
Prosecutors who intentionally withholds evidence should be charged with a crime. Legislation needs to be passed to protect people from crooked prosecutors.
My God. Look at the difference between this judge and Aunt Bev. The way she finished that trial with fairness and strength. She did her Job very well.
I admit, I was crying with Alex!!
Best trial I’ve seen in the last couple years. Hands down. I can’t stand AB but I totally agree with Judge Sommers.
And that is how it's supposed to work when justice matters. I was crying with Alec. The case had to be right. And this case was wrong. I'm proud of this judge.
Kiss your Prosecutor's career goodbye 👋
If only this was the judge for Karen Read.. despite whether or not we found Baldwin to be responsible and callus in his responsibilities on set, Justice entails that all evidence must be disclosed. Massachusetts needs to take a cue from New Mexico
So if the police followed SOP for this incident and it was dismissed then doesn’t it taint all of the cases they have ever investigated
I’m definitely getting tired of seeing corrupt prosecutors!
Get this judge on EVERY case, let her travel the states
This Prosecutor is horrible. Rude, disrespectful and a bully
The Prosecutor was told by the Judge and the Defense that she did not have to testify. She did it anyway and tanked the whole trial. Now, whatever case she handled is going to be scrutinized. She destroyed her career
Glad you are staying in NM. I live close to Santa Fe in Corrales!
I commented to my friends a couple months after the shooting that Alec would never be found guilty due to a legal technicality, someone screwing up the investigation or a corruption of the case before a jury decides. This does not surprise me at all.
Is anyone else seeing Aileen Wournos' face (the Florida female serial killer) when looking at the District Attorney Morrissey? I can't unsee it!
Excellent decision I said from the beginning this prosecutor seems awful slimy
So freaking upsetting
I'm on replay and that DEATH STARE the judge gave Morrissey after the evidence decision......SCARY!!!!
I heard your laugh when Hancock made comment about Kenny's ooooooooohhhhh schnoola. I laughed, knowing was you.
Outstanding coverage Chandler and Larry! This channel easily had the best coverage of this trial! Thank you guys for the top-notch coverage!
