Halyna Hutchins' family lawyers released a video showing how they allege Alec Baldwin shot her.

Negligence can be shared infinitely
...or the person who knowingly gave it to an untrained child, a Democrat, or a drunk like Alec Baldwin.
SA trigger pull can be almost zero
The facts listed are important, but is a re-enactment allowed in court? It surely seems like a concept that could be nuanced by whoever produces it.
“SA trigger pull can be almost zero.”
That’s right. Depending on the firearm, it can be as light as 1 pound.
But the doofus said all he did was cock the hammer, and the weapon fired. IF that is true (and, with Baldwin that is a big IF), he already had the trigger fully squeezed when he cocked the hammer.
His LLC production company will have insurance that will pay.
I bet he doesn’t personally lose much.
“His LLC production company will have insurance that will pay. I bet he doesn’t personally lose much.”
Probably not, unless he has no excess or umbrella coverage.
Later
“Whose negligence?” I think that was answered by the manslaughter conviction of officer Potter who pulled a gun instead of a Taser. She’s in jail but Alex probably won’t be.
Interesting idea. It fits the circumstances, Baldwin’s bravado and show-off-manship for drama. Yes, he certainly could be fanning the gun and showing off.
Note the frequent use of “industry standard.” My father was an expert underwriting witness that would testify on cases for a law firm. If he found that the insurance company was doing something different than what their procedure or policies stated, it usually was to the law firms and their clients benefit.

My Dad had a beautiful Colt 45 six round revolver from the early 1900s or late 1890s.
Pulling back the hammer with your thumb rotated the cylinder from one chamber to the next chamber.
As I recall, if you pulled the hammer just halfway back, it would move the cylinder just half a turn, and the gun would not fire, because the firing pin would strike between two chambers if you let go of the hammer.
As I recall, you had to pull the hammer all the way back into the lock (cocked) position before the next chamber would line up with the firing pin on the hammer.
If that is the same way that Baldwin's gun worked, that means Baldwin could not have fired by releasing the hammer with his thumb.
Baldwin would have needed to pull the trigger to fire a shot.
Re: His LLC production company will have insurance that will pay.
One problem...
You cannot buy coverage for negligent use of a firearm.
Unless the gun is defective, Baldwin will be on the hook personally for every dollar of damage, including to the investors or the bankers who paid for a movie that did not get made.
Was he negligent or the armorer?
“Gun safety rules” are not laws.
It will be an interesting case either way.
Re: Was he negligent or the armorer?
As the producer of the film, he is the responsible executive.
Because of his personal actions, he will be lucky to avoid a charge of negligent homicide, although the mystery of the live round may work in his favor.
He’s not the singular Producer, as there are six of them.
I truly don’t know if that matters.
If not, then I do not know how responsibility will be divided up, except for the fact that Baldwin pointed the gun and fired it directly at a group of people.
It seems complicated, and everyone is looking for cover.
“I sorta know what really happened. “
Does the video match what you have heard?
