Alec Baldwin’s interview following ‘Rust’ shooting ‘was a mistake,’ legal experts say: It 'may backfire'
FOX ^ | 12/3/2021 | Jessica Napoli, Julius Young

Posted on 12/03/2021 12:38:41 PM PST by SaxxonWoods

"Any statements made on television during an investigation could result in unintended admissions that could be used against him later at trial or could prejudice the prosecutor against him," Fiset pointed out. "If statements relating to facts turn out to be disproved, it will hurt his credibility with law enforcement or at trial. His admissions that someone is to be blamed – but not him – could also potentially be used against him later in either a civil or criminal case if it is determined that he had some responsibility for set safety as a major producer of the film."

Like Fiset, litigator Molly Mauck of New York City-based law firm Romano Law told Fox News that the televised interview was a risky move that could cause more harm than good as the investigation continues.

"It is understandable why Alec Baldwin desires to explain to the press his perception of the events and attempt to control the narrative surrounding the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins," she explained. "There is, however, risk to speaking before all the facts are known, or the investigations are complete. Any statements Mr. Baldwin makes may later be used against him in any potential civil or criminal case stemming from this incident. Similarly, any variations in his accounts of the incident could be later characterized as material inconsistencies and used to attack his credibility at trial."

Hasn’t it already been promised to him that it was unlikely that he’ll ever be charged. He is in the elite and answers to a higher law called Democratic privilege.

I’d bet almost anything it doesn’t happen. Barwin is worshipped by the s0-called “elites” and the fools who still think Saturday Night Live is a good show. So the laws don’t apply to him.

Soros DA is there NOT to charge these people.

And DA took story from his legal team as gospel.

Others on set were intimidated by Baldwin.

That interview was what prosecuting attorneys refer to as “evidence.”

Someone should ask Biden if he thinks Baldwin is a racist because of the shooting.

Alec Baldwin was in the strategy and plan by the Cuomo brothers.

He’s deep inside Democrat Party.

“It may backfire”....thst would be very funny if someone hadn’t lost their life.

I Agree though. He shoulda put a sock in it but I suspect he couldn’t help himself.

If this interview was his lawyers’ idea it was a serious tactical error IMO.

He’s untouchable, and he knows it, and his actions show it.

I expect a plea bargain to some minimal negligence charge, no jail time, deferred judgement leading to expunged record if he doesn’t get in trouble for a year or two and he has to take a gun safety class.

“Not if they put him on the stand”

That could be his swan song
