I had previously posted the photos we saw of Alec Baldwin after the shooting don't show him in costume and yet here we are told Baldwins' "blood-stained costume" was taken as evidence.
If Alec was wearing a costume during the rehearsal was the rehearsal being recorded just to establish camera angles for the shoot?
If Alex got blood on his costume how close was he to the victims?
He might have gotten blood on his costume when he went to help them.
Yes indeed.....”who actually loaded the gun ... which may become the central issue”....
OR if the assistant Director had opportunity to insert a live round.
According to the records, the gun was one of three that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, had set on a cart outside the wooden structure where a scene was being acted. Assistant director Dave Halls grabbed the gun from the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in the search warrant application.

NO EXCUSE!!
What is the first thing anyone does when handed a firearm?
CLEAR IT, THEN CHECK IT!
Simple beginners firearm safety!!!!
You may not like him, but I will prey for him to be able to find peace.
What was a live bullet doing on the set?
There is a picture of Baldwin in costume and there's blood on it but it's from the movie. He posted the pic on Instagram before the shooting.
Caption:Baldwin posted a picture of himself on Instagram sporting a grey beard and dressed in Western cowboy-style attire
Props that can shoot only blanks are bad enough. Staggering to think any set would have real weapons and live ammunition to put in them.
Silly auto correct, pray for him.
I do not know his handling skills are but he overly trusted the source of the weapon if he did not load it himself. The pain of killing can be dulled by time and acceptance.
I heavily dislike him personally. But that SOB got red pilled hard. He’ll never get past this. He’ll go downhill fast. People involved in such accidents do poorly.
There’s nothing you can say to someone in the position of him in those photos.
The union back-stage employees had quit the movie set several hours before and replacement workers hired. The union had just come out of tough contract negotiations and had voted for a strike if needed. They got a contract. I suspect emotions were running high since workplace safety was one of their primary complaints during the contract talks and the walk-out.I wouldn’t be surprised if investigation proves a disgruntled union worker slipped a round in the gun.
***The warrant says the assistant director didn’t know the gun was loaded,***
That old excuse goes way back.

I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’m so sorry, my friend
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’ll never, never do it again
“If Alex got blood on his costume how close was he to the victims?”
Probably ran over and handled her when he saw what had happened.
There is no excuse for live ammunition to be on ANY movie set. PERIOD.
Why did he point the gun at two people not in the scene?
I think they are lying.
I think Alex carried a gun, after the crew walked off the set, he became angry and enraged and add to that he was drunk and high on Coke, waved the gun around in anger and shot two people.
An interesting aspect of the episode is the way all the actual backstage people for Perry Mason were given cameo roles in the episode as themselves (the cameraman as the cameraman, etc.), and Erle Stanley Gardner, the author of the original Perry Mason novels, himself played the judge at the episode's second trial.
A report from a Brit paper said it was a cap and ball, which would be correct for the period.
It isn’t as easy to see if one of the cylinders in a cap and ball is loaded with a ball. I’d have to look at one of my replicas to see if the end of the cylinder is covered or not.
No blood on the hands or arms either
