But it wasn’t outside the realm of all possibility.
What did he think killed the girl?
“Your Honor, I didn’t know I had run over someone with my vehicle until they showed me a photo of the corpse. I just figured it was a bump in the road.”
I assume hes been on lots of movies with guns. In my experience, any decent firearms person trains someone that you treat every weapon as if it is loaded, even if it isn’t.
Oh... so THAT’S how guns work.
In his mind.
Well maybe I could believe that.
Does not mean ‘not guilty’
Her screaming in pain, blood spurting, and falling over weren’t enough clues. Guess because it wasn’t in the script.
So, the woman on the ground with red oozing out of her wasn’t a clue Alex?
The recoil with live rounds is vastly different than blanks.
As is the noise.
More Baldwin lies.
Really?
So, did she just sit/stand there and take the round? Not scream out in pain? No fall to the ground, dying? No say a word? People didn’t rush to her aide?
He shoots her and things just keep humming along as if nothing happened?
That’s an accommodating way of handling evidence on the part of the Sheriff’s Office! Where was the evidence recovered, at the Trauma Center or the Medical Examiner’s Office? I wonder if they let him handle the bullet?
The trigger pull, the bang and recoil, the scream, the collapse, the blood loss...
None of those were clues.
This is crap. Anyone who has fired blanks and live rounds can tell the difference in recoil immediately. As many movies as he’s made, he would have noticed right away that the gun kicked a hell of a lot more than it should have.
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
Blatant lie.
"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”?!
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.
