And just why are they not knocking down his door at 5am. They do it to conservatives.

He’s either hiding something related to the killing, or something else illegal. He’s been a POS since he was a fetus, so there’s that...

if they get a search warrant for you home, they can nd do go through everything. The same with your car and your phone

"He’s probably trying to keep his/the film’s insurance company from finding out something."

Exactly, both looking backward at "Rust" where Shooter Alec was a producer, and looking forward as Badshot Baldwin is now uninsurable, which means he can make TikTok videos and not much else...

This ahole needs to be beaten within an inch of his life.

"It is entirely possible that one of his film crew set him up by loading the gun"

Or the armorer just simply negligently permitted a hot gun on the tray. It was Reed's first major job as an armorer, but she also had a 'mentor' on the set, Seth Kenney, who actually provided the Colt .45 in question.

And that was Shooter's initial lawyer-provided strategery - blame it on the armorers. Literally a no-brainer, and didn't make Baldwin look like an idiot (or more importantly, a criminal): "The armorer placed a hot gun on the tray. Period. End of life. End of story."

Almost inexplicably, though, in the ABC Snooze interview 12.2.21, which Baldwin sold himself to (demanded), Baldwin insensibly pivoted to Smolletting himself: "I didn't shoot. I didn't do it.", and he has dropped straight off that cliff ever since.

So the enhanced Occam's, as shared by you and most everyone on this thread, is that Badshot's iPhone has something he desperately wants to hide.

I thought the affair idea was iffy but it looks more plausible every day.

BTW people wondering why he doesn't want to turn over the iPhone, between Shooter's service carrier (prob ATT or Verizon) and Apple (iCloud), law enforcement can retrieve a shitton of communication info, BUT iMessage is encrypted end-to-end.

Obviously there is something highly embarrassing or incriminating on that phone.

[Still Thinking]

Maybe he and The Juice can team up and find both the real killers.

[Celtic Conservative]

Um, that’s how revolvers work. And they don’t have chambers per se. It’s a cylinder.
