Does anyone REALLY think he's going to prison for this? I don't. But, I'm pretty cynical when it comes to these Hollywood BOOBS.

I have never fired one, but if you didn’t expect it to go off, wouldn’t a .45 long colt have a healthy kick and possibly fly out of your hand?
Alec is an idiot
A .45 has a very healthy kick. You would not miss it. And, a blank would not give you the same effect.
Blatant lie.
It is his fault. Anyone with an IQ of over 3 checks a weapon personally.
His description says he didn’t pull the the trigger. The idiot brought the hammer back and let it go
And your honor, they should be suing my mechanic and Range Rover, not me, they have deeper pockets...
"Baldwin thought Hutchins may have fainted or had a heart attack. He was also confused about why Souza was screaming in pain, unaware that a live bullet had struck him," the document says. "One individual suggested that a stone might have been lodged in the gun and discharged."
The filing says that the suggestion that a live round was in the gun was "quickly dismissed by others as farfetched" because Reed and Halls were both responsible for checking guns to confirm they didn't have live ammunition.
Later, Baldwin spoke with members of the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office for nearly two hours.
The filing says that at the end of the interview, the interviewer "slid her phone across the table and showed him a photograph of the object that had just been removed from Souza's shoulder at the hospital, a .45 caliber slug."
"Baldwin recognized the object as a live bullet, and he finally began to comprehend what had transpired on the set of Rust that day," the document says. "He was shocked."
Anyone with more than a few brain cells check to see is any weapon handed to them contains rounds. If anyone ever hands to me a weapon, the first thing I do is to check for ammo. It is simply instinctive to do so. Alec thinks that everyone is as ignorant as he is.
BS.
1. He would’ve said that in the interview he gave mere days afterwards. Instead he said that even though he shot her he didn’t feel responsible. This is just further lying to protect himself.
2. Presuming it IS true (which it’s not) don’t you think two people falling down to the ground bleeding would be, oh I dunno… a clue that your gun DID something? Or is Alec now claiming that he cold heartedly walked away after 2 people collapsed on the set while filming after he fired his “blank”?!
WHAT did he think killed her???
WHAT did he think killed her???
Dude, COVID!
And that Baldwin co-wrote the script.
And that Baldwin picked out the gun personally.
And that his father, whom he said he was VERY close with...taught riflery...and I'll bet his dad had an awesome gun collection...and took sweet Alec to the range.
My gut has been telling me that the script that is marked up with the directors notes...will tell the story.
I shoulda added a (Sarc)tag!
Dam gun pointed itself too.

I have fired hundreds of .45 Colt rounds and yes, there is kick, but unless you were very weak, the revolver wouldn't fly out of your hand.
“Alec Baldwin didn’t comprehend”. Entire story summed up in 4 words.
***This is crap. Anyone who has fired blanks and live rounds can tell the difference in recoil immediately.***
Absolutely true! With a real load, the recoil would have caused the barrel to rise sharply, and the web of his hand would have hit the back of the hammer. This is due to the plow shape handle of the firearm.
