Watching that animated version of Baldwin made me thing of this.
Arec Barwin is worthress.
Just saw that on WR. Absolutely chilling.
Great idea by the family. If Baldwins hides he looks bad since he’s a known big-mouth. If he talks he will look worse. I’m sure after his last little diatribe his lawyers told him to shut the heck up.
I sorta know what really happened. Arec Barwin’ apologized in a sarcastic way to the husband which pissed him off, and waited to hire an attorney. Deadline Hollywood had an article of how Barwin’ communicated with the husband, and it wasn’t good.
What ever they do don’t make him try on a glove
It’s an animation based on witness accounts which is useless for the most part.
Baldwin is a POS and guilty period. He fired the weapon by pulling the trigger or releasing the hammer.
he had the gun in his hand, the gun went off and killed someone, he’s absolutely responsible despite what he has said, I don’t have to say this to FR posters but if you have a gun in your hand, you are always responsible if it goes off no matter the circumstances.
I think it’s been discussed here before, what likely happened is he pulled back the hammer enough so when it was released it fired the bullet.
How the bullet got in the gun, who knows at this point, doesn’t matter with respect to Alec Baldwin’s responsibility.

As my first riflery coach told me at the age of 12, there is no such thing as a firearms accident, only negligence.
Baldwin is an arrogant, abusive, useless POS. As this video documents, he is legally and morally responsible for what happened. With any luck, this event will bankrupt and jail him.
More people will see this animation than ever would have considered viewing an Alec Baldwin western.
Incredibly damning for a civil trial and what would be required for a favorable plaintiff verdict.
Impressive video. They are really going after this douchebag hard. Between this and the $25M defamation suit he could end up penniless. Couldn’t happen to nicer guy.
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.
Later
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.
