She didn’t think he was properly trained so she handed him a loaded gun?
Thats your defense?
And she’s suppose to do what?? Fire him? I don’t think that’s how it works.
They really want to nail her. Her dad was a well known armorer. I doubt that she did even one little thing wrong.
Scapegoat. She takes the hit publicly, Baldwin money is passed privately, is my bet.
After he said, you want to give me more training? Training is for losers. The producers don’t give a #### about you. I’m your boss and I’ll fire your sorry ass without pay. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. Because I’ve been acting with guns for over 40 years and I know what I’m doing. I’m just going to pull it out and go like this - Bang.
She did dozens of things wrong. Flagrantly wrong. The death of a crew member was the result.
She belongs in prison, right along side of Alec Baldwin.
But of course she has no real money and cannot match the legal team and media team that Baldwin can bring to his defense. She is toast. Baldwin will skate.
She does make a convenient scapegoat. And somebody has to be punished. She will certainly be the main attraction in the rest of the show. Too bad the punishments will likely stop there.
The above link is her dad. Interesting.
One point I’ve been making is that plenty of actors have had to learn all sorts of stuff to be able to portrait a character. Riding a horse comes to mind.
One Day.
That’s all it would take for general gun safety and then maybe 30-60 minutes on a particular weapon with reminders of the basics.
But when you’re special and lazy and obnoxious, none of that applies. The world should cater to your needs and failings.
It still drives me nuts that RUST is about an accidental killing...yes...with a gun.
I’m gonna go out on a limb....and bet that Baldwin took a Gun Safety course when he was young.
Everyone is pointing fingers now.
You would think so considering his father’s occupation.
They are all pointing fingers publicly.
None of them know who will be charged with what.
The battle of attorneys. They will say anything for their client.
I know I got a little card from the program. I wonder if there's a record someplace. Hmmmm
He said he was super close to his father.
My point was that the lawyer’s plans for her defense was weak as H3ll.
She is “Guilty” of handing a loaded gun to Baldwin. The excues that HE didn’t have enough training does nothing to change the fact that she is the one who provided a loaded gun to this “poorly trained” actor.
It would be a better defense if her lawyer tried to provide “reasonable doubt” by suggesting Baldwin or someone else loaded a live round AFTER she gave him the gun.
She didn’t even give it to him. Halls did. You can read his statement in the warrant.
