Misfired is BS
Targeting the wrong people in lawsuits is also BS
Attorneys could speak better to this issue but as I recall, when there are multiple defendants in a negligence case and joint and several liability applies, the plaintiff can sue any responsible party for the full amount of damages. Because the most responsible and the wealthiest is probably Alec Baldwin, I really don’t see any injustice here. Watching a piece of human trash like Alec Baldwin go through the anguish of a trial is just an added benefit.
Well this is going to become great evidence for the other side. Great for cross examination, and great for discovery.
Just imagine if, instead of going into instant denial, Baldwin had rushed to offer whatever aid he could, attempted to calm his co-workers, rode in the ambulance with one of the victims, waited at the hospital for friends and family to arrive, had his publicist issue an immediate press release detailing the accident, and how devastated he was that he was at the very least partially responsible for it, and unhesitatingly assisted law enforcement in the investigation.
There would obviously have been a large settlement, probably mostly paid by the production’s insurors, but the world would have looked at him as a man who took responsibility for his actions, and probably even sympathized with him.
But that didn’t happen. This screen hero turned out to be a coward in real life.
“He’s just too genuinely stupid to realize how dumb that is.”
I don’t think so. He and his attorney(s) are working that angle to the maximum effect, to minimize legal responsibility and financial damage to him. Suddenly, everything he said after the murder is very carefully-crafted and on-script.
When are they going to arrest this clown?
If the plaintiff can prove what was being done on the set was inherently dangerous, for example a requirement to point guns at people in order to film a scene, then they might not have to prove negligence at all. They might get a judgement under a strict liability rule.
from what i remember reading about this, this scene wasnt alec pointing at any other actor, it was to be a camera shot of him drawing at a person you can’t see, off-screen.
Mr. Baldwin, here’s your script: “NO COMMENT.”
No, I still hold everyone who handled that revolver that day responsible. From the armorer, to the prop master to the actor, they all should have checked the firearm.
You are wrong but that is ok. :)
Then we will agree to disagree. :)
Going to get real sticky trying to prove that he is being targeted (pun intended) when he was caught red-handed holding the smoking gun.
His lawyers must love his motor mouth!
I am ashamed to say I don’t care about the facts....I just have to root against the stupid a$$!!
Baldwin doesn’t seem to understand that he is the negligent party.
I still say he moved to Vermont just in case he needs to leave the USA in a hurry.
Hey. Alec. Shhh. Over here. (whisper voice) YOU shot her and YOU killed her.
Am I wrong or is this a civil case brought by her family seeking damages?
Still no criminal charges?
Is it common to have a civil case about a murder before a criminal charge? Nope.
Thank your deep pockets and your politics for that.
Maybe you should check with officer Potter about an equal justice system before whining to the press. You should already be doing time.
(whisper voice again) YOU shot. her. and YOU killed. her.
If you hand me a gun, the first thing I will do is check to see if it is loaded.
If you hand me a gun and tell me that it is not loaded, the first thing I will do is check to see if it is loaded.
If you check the gun in front of me, tell me it is not loaded, and then hand me the gun, the first thing I will do is check to see if it is loaded.
That was the first rule my father taught me about handling guns when I was 6 years old, and in almost 60 years since then I have never accidentally fired a gun thinking it was not loaded.
Baldwin, thy name is malignant narcissist.
