Guns don’t kill people. Alec Baldwin kills people.

Baldwin is a liar and a murderer.

If it were you or I, we would already be in prison serving a 10 year sentence. Leftist democrat soldiers are always treated nicer by the criminal government.

Involuntary manslaughter with a firearm has a mandatory 5 year jail sentence in New Mexico if he’s found guilty by a jury.

He pulled the trigger before he cocked the gun. When he cocked the hammer he thought it would be held by the sear. Let go of the hammer and the gun fires.

I thought the same but I think his thumb might have slipped off the hammer. Either way, he pulled the trigger.

Hollywood would do well to spend the money and get the NRA to train armorers and assist on set.

It would have been a natural thing for me to open the cylinder unload the rounds and inspect them to make sure they were actually blanks and then put them back in. Takes 5 seconds at most.

A blank looks like this:

They have pinched off top like a shotgun shell.

Yep. I read early on that that Alec wouldn't attend a briefing on handling a weapon on set.

Yeah, he’s guilty. He held the weapon, aimed and fired and killed the woman. His responsibility. But who and why loaded the weapon on a movie set??

The general public doesn't understand how a movie set works, especially when firearms are being used. The armorer and his/her team are completely in control of all weapons. An actor should never check a gun, chamber a round, etc., UNLESS it's called for in the script. If an actor mishandles a firearm in any way, the Director or armorer can call cut and the armorer would then collect the firearm, recheck it, and then hand it back so the scene can be filmed again.

The really big question, in this case, is how did a live round get not only on the set, but in the gun? That's a HUGE no no. Hollywood movies feature firearms all the time, and there's a reason why accidents are so very rare.

Baldwin may be held responsible for squeezing the trigger, especially if the scene didn't call for him to do so. Another big worry he has is his role as Executive Producer. He had skin (money) in this movie. If he cut any corners, and it can be proven, he'll be in real trouble.

My understanding is that they weren’t even shooting a scene, just a discussion of how the scene should play out (don’t really know, I wasn’t there).

I read that Baldwin was a little irritated with the time everything was taking and being the smartass that he is, pulled the gun out of the holster, aimed at the director and shot her.

Guess we won’t know until all the Hollyweird Weirdos have had their chance to LIE to the prosecutor.

But if it did happen as I read, that would make it NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE wich carries a greater penalty under law.
