Alec Baldwin could be charged again in fatal 'Rust' shooting as new report claims he pulled trigger
Fox News ^ | August 16, 2023 | Lauryn Overhultz

A new report concluded that despite his denials, Alec Baldwin had to pull the trigger of the gun that fired on the set of "Rust" in October 2021.

The shooting led to the death of Halyna Hutchins, and a yearslong legal battle has ensued as investigators work to find justice for the cinematographer.

As the film's armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed gears up for her scheduled December trial, her legal team focused on a new report from independent forensic firearm experts. Lucien Haag and Mike Haag, who were commissioned by the prosecution, concluded that Baldwin had to pull the trigger of the gun in order for it to fire.

Yeah, he did it.
My theory is she triggered his famous temper by something she said or did or didn’t do fast enough, and he intended to bully her.
Boom.

New report? It was reported a year ago that the firearm was in proper working order and only would have fired if the trigger was pulled.

FBI tests suggest gun in β€˜Rust’ shooting could not fire without trigger pull

That being said, it was verified by the Feebs so maybe they went looking for an independent review, just to be sure.

Saying ‘No’ would be enough to set off Baldwin’s wrath.

I think he was either having an affair with her or he tried to and she threatened to tell the misses

I have seen video of Baldwin practicing his draw immediately before he shot her. He was practicing a cross draw but he was thrusting the revolver forward with a lousy grip and his finger on the trigger, and you could see the gun moving forward in his hand. That’s a sure-fire way to fire a gun without “pulling” the trigger

If he had to pull the trigger and it fired, he must have put a live round in the chamber and maybe used it to eliminate an enemy.

Few discuss Halyna Hutchins' contribution to her own death.

I'm not talking about blaming the victim for even being on a movie set with an ass like Alec Baldwin, I'm talking about a director, practicing a scene (not filming), and not using blue rubber guns and having no ballistic shields, etc. She directed him to point the gun right at her and he did.

...but the low-budget film was going to be a masterpiece!

It seems to me that Baldwin pulling the trigger or not as an actor in a “make believe” situation is not material. What is material is his gross negligence managing security as producer of the film, and he should be charged for that.

β€œGuns don’t fire themselves............”

β€œIt just went off” is the most common argument anyone guilty of shooting someone claims.

In Alec’s case it was a revolver with a HEAVY trigger pull. There is no way Alec is telling the truth here. Worst yet. If it was a single action trigger he had to cock the hammer back AND pull the trigger.
