This trial is for the ARMORER. Not Baldwin.
The ARMORER is responsible for the care and loading of the weapon. The armorer loaded the gun with live ammunition. Not Baldwin. He only pulled the trigger.
As much as we all HAT Alec Baldwin because of his past actions, he is somewhat of a victim here(as the actor who fired the weapon). NOT as the producer of the movie. He is guilty for that. His trial comes after this.
Consider yourself as an ACTOR in Baldwin’s position. He is on set, the director calls for everyone to take their places. He is handed a weapon, which he assumes is filled with blanks by the ARMORER. The director calls for action, the ACTOR points the gun in the direction of the camera and pulls the trigger. He sees the woman standing next to the camera getting shot.
This is when the lying starts because Baldwin as the producer KNOWS that he is LIBEL for everything taking place on his movie set. He is screwed. So, he comes up with a story that he did not pull the trigger. When everyone knows that is impossible.
Verdict: Second Degree Manslaughter for the Armorer. 2-4 years in a minimum security NM prison.
She will then testify AGAINST Baldwin in both his criminal trial AND the CIVIL trial that will potentially BANKRUPT him .
“The director calls for action,”
They were just setting up for the scene and Baldwin was practicing his draw.
They hadn't called action yet. The cinematographer was still framing the shot and Baldwin was practicing his fast draw when the gun went off.
