“You’re assuming it’s a cold gun.”
Assuming guns are unloaded gets people killed. When Baldwin made the statement above, he earned at minimum New Mexico’s version of a negligent homicide charge and a Guilty verdict. Others might also be guilty but that doesn’t excuse Baldwin.
I thought the producer handed Baldwin the gun and told him cold gun.
Baldwins claims here Reed handed him the gun but she wasn’t (supposedly) even there at the time.
