Alec Baldwin Case dismissed In Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting

[Jmac00]

again, I have to point out, The John Wick movies, where hundreds of different firearms were used, tens of thousands of rounds of ammo were fired...........not one injury due to firearm use. A few stunt people may have taken a beating, but as far as I know, no one was hurt because of the firearms

May he rust in piss.

Alec Baldwin stared with Anthony Hopkins in a movie called "The Edge" 1997. If you have not seen it, Anthony Hopkins plays a very successful but unassuming business man and Alec Baldwin plays his envious and covetous employee who is having an affair with his wife and ultimately tries to kill him. In other words, this was the perfect role for a "big star" like Alec Baldwin because he plays himself and all he had to do was act naturally. It's worth watching because Anthony Hopkins is a great actor and Alec Baldwin deliciously gets his just deserts in the end. Hey we can dream. Great entertainment.

If you die in the hospital because you were given the wrong meds. but the doctor ordered the correct meds., is the doctor responsible?
Should he have stopped, gone to the lab and tested the drug first?
It is the fault of the armorer AND the fault of the person in charge; Baldwin.
Baldwin is in charge and knew live fire was happening with his gun.
Baldwin as an actor is just that an actor, dumb as a box of rocks, a fool.
Baldwin as director is responsible as is the armorer.

Nobody should handle a gun without understanding basic firearm safety, not even on a movie set.

The minute you touch one, you are responsible for that behavior. Ignorance is not an excuse. If you don't know, then don't touch. They should drill that into kids from kindergarten.

If you are doing more advanced things, then you need more advanced training. Again, you are responsible for not doing advanced things without the advanced training.

Even actors, and even on movie sets. They don't get to violate the laws of physics, and they don't get to violate the laws of firearms safety. They are very good at faking the physics thing, but they never actually do it.

If you have actors who can't handle the guns safely (to include inspecting them to know if they are loaded), then you train them, or you don't give them guns. It's that simple.

There is no "well, this guy is special because he's an a-lister". I don't care if it's the biggest star on the planet. If he doesn't know how to handle the gun safely, to include inspecting it when he takes possession, then he doesn't get to handle it.

Just more opinions, pissing in the wind.........A jury will finish the deal.
I liked Baldwin in a lot of his movies... and his wife Kim Bassinger.

I have a grandson, who looks like he is a Baldwin.........same attitude, but a Lawyer in NYC.

So the Armourer has just been jailed for 18 months

Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' armorer sentenced to maximum time in fatal on-set shooting

A judge handed down Hannah Gutierrez Reed's sentence Monday after a jury convicted the "Rust" armorer of involuntary manslaughter March 6.

I wonder if Baldwin is shitting his pants or if the “establishment” will protect him with a slap on the wrist?

I got a dollar says Baldwin walks free, Now that "someone has been convicted of the crime" baldwin will argue its not his fault, and he will walk away without a care in the world

"Hutchins had been preparing a close-up shot when a gun Alec Baldwin was holding discharged."

You mean he was just holding it and it discharged on its own? That's weird. Usually one has to pull the trigger for that to happen.

I believe that was his claim before the FBI checked the gun and said the trigger had to be pullled, it didnt go off by itself. I guess the media is still unwilling to say he pulled the trigger.

 

[zorro]

Guys ………PLEASE!!

Guns are dangerous and they shoot people by themselves all the time

So please be fair to Mr Baldwin, our 2A loving actor

He did not pull the trigger

That is all

Thank you

 

[stokes]

He did not pull the trigger

Neither did the poor armorer.

 

[MikeM]

Don't worry, his buddy Trump will pardon him if convicted

 

[Acer-m14]

you gotta love journalists that do not know shit or this one is really really smart

and this is 100% fact ...

"No one disputes the broad facts of what happened on October 21, 2021. Prior to the filming of the scene, Gutierrez-Reed, a props assistant who doubled as the on-set armorer, examined the gun. She looked inside the barrel, spun the barrel, visually confirmed what she believed were dummy bullets"

How Alec Baldwin’s Rust trial went spectacularly off the rails

The 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was an accident everyone saw coming. Now the film’s armorer has been sentenced to prison.

They just proved in a court of law that the armour was responsible, probably a real good thing for Baldwin.
I have many friends that hunt and others that just own guns and are even more clueless about gun safety. How many of you have seen the reckless handling of firearms? It's always the same old " oh it's not loaded, relax"..

While that is true, it doesnt clear him of pointing the gun at people not even in a scene and pulling the trigger.

 

[MikeM]

No one is asking how live rounds made it into the set? There's at least a third person responsible.

If I recall correctly, they were previously using the "prop gun" for recreational shooting activities.

All charges dropped and a free man, based on what appears to be a technical issue/withholding evidence?

 

[tirwin1]

In a surprising twist the case is dismissed due to error by the prosecution.

Judge dismisses involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin in 'Rust' shooting

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer agreed the prosecution had suppressed evidence and the trial could not continue.

[FRANKIE]

Apparently someone was hoarding ammunition lol!

‘Rust’ Case Against Alec Baldwin Is Dismissed Over Withheld Evidence

The involuntary manslaughter case against Mr. Baldwin fell apart after an envelope of ammunition that the prosecution had not shown the defense was brought into the courtroom.

www.nytimes.com

 

[Jmac00]

The judge dismisses the case WITH prejudice.

Apparently the prosecution had a box of ammo, that was never on the set, but the defense said they didn't revel the evidence a single box of ammo to the defense, therefore the case should be dismissed.

The prosecution said the box of ammo was never on the set, supposedly, so it wasn't important. The judge disagreed and dismissed the case.

He can never be charged again. He literally got away with murder

DA really screwed the pooch on this one.

Would anyone like to see my surprised face,
He is a democrat after all

 

[stokes]

The way this case dragged at the investigation stage tells me this was planned all along. Another douchebag elitist rises above the law.

Hey idiots have to point and squeeze and drunk drivers gotta drive. According to this ruling, neither a crime.

 

[Far king]

Love how the local talking heads just read, "the gun went off" like the super intelligent balldrain never pulled the trigger.

That’s right ! A firearm may be fired or discharged but it can never simply “go off “

 

[Acer-m14]

off to civil lawsuits like OJ ... the ammo didn't fit
