@@CourtTV nobody's above the law!
Baldwin Is Guilty No Doubt In My Mind!
✨ I want FULL JUSTICE for Halyna Hutchins. And, I fully support the New Mexico prosecutors!⚖️
@m.g.2645 💯💯
He pulled the trigger, period his fault.
He isn’t letting the police officer ask the questions she needs to. His arrogance will be his downfall!!
The gun is an inanimate object. It's the person who's holding it, is completely responsible with everyone's lives around them. "The gun went off." That's what most criminals say when they've shot someone. 6:41
HE IS NOT GUILTY
This is a prop, and he understood that this gun should not fire.
Go to Andrew Branca’s Law of Defense channel for detailed discussion of the matters raised in this video. There is NM Supreme Court case law that holds a person holding the firearm ultimately responsible for that firearm and any negligent discharge. In NM, it does not matter if someone gives you a gun, says “it’s empty” and you then point it at some, pull the trigger, and it goes “bang”! You (meaning Alec) should have checked the gun and verified it was empty.
And he has the Nerve 2 continue filming RUST
🤬
Who’s gonna watch that shite now? NO ONE. Out of respect for Helyna.
@@francinejones2524 He is having a hard time finding a buyer. I don't know why he doesn't simply stream it himself.
Halyna's husband asked for the film to be finished.
They finished the film in Montana has a tribute to Haylena and Baldwin let her hubby finish helping direct it, so hubby wouldn't be able to testify against him in court,jmo 🫤 Hannah doesn't have to testify for Baldwins trial and is not going to.
@@jenniferornelas4151 She actually has testified in court already through her film showing him mishandling the gun (even if it was a fake) pointing it cocked at her with his finger on the trigger and pulling it. Then the camera rolls back with her as she falls. Anyone else would be awaiting trial in jail and the most he could hope for is a lesser charge than cold blooded murder with intent. Had she lived at most it would be a civil case like when Dick Chaney shot his own lawyer who refused to press charges. (Fun fact that would have been an interesting case legally as your attorney is normally barred from testifying against you or doing things that harm you legally.)
at 59 seconds he pretty much admitted he knew it was loaded because nobody assume that anything is cold
I imagine he is in full on panic mode right now.
Maybe but he’s so cocky who knows
Full on self preservation mode
@@spoonlessvalkyrie7514 see how that works for him in state prison. At night when he closes his eye, I think he's scared. Wifey is probably freaking TF out too!
@@sarahglenn298 Screaming in Spanish. 🤣
@@sarahglenn298 I don't know why at most he will get 18mths of probation and an ankle monitor our state caters to criminals and he will be thanking NM for sparing him acutal jail time 😕
Don’t ever assume the gun you’re given is the prop gun. I’ve worked on several films using prop guns only, but I surely checked to make sure it was a prop and not a real weapon. That’s on you sir! You didn’t need to pull the trigger!
pretty sure those PUMP ACTION Water Guns?, that they have these days?, Moms are saying?, " be careful Kids! ", just saying!.
First rule of gun safety “treat every gun like it’s loaded”.
@cpmow831 I'll be honest!, had a 22?, aimed at a Kangaroo?, MISSED!, was about 10?, fn hate Guns!, that's why Mum!, put all us Kids?, into Self Defence Courses!
@@cpmow831 absolutely!
It was a real gun. You do not work in film.
Good, he should stand trial
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just because you're an actor doesnt mean you are ABOVE THE LAW!!
He's always been above the law so why would he think he's not now? Arrogant trash!
Don't let the media brain wash you. Acting is a dangerous business. Accidents happen all the time. Baldwin shouldn't have to go to prison because someone didn't do their job right.
This is how extreme arrogance creates: I didn't pull the trigger. He's so full of himself, yet there's film evidence of him pointing guns at people during rehearsals. 4:37
0.58 seconds in he states he’s ASSUMING it’s a cold Gun. Never assume always CHECK. Send him down judge
The gun should have never been pointed at anyone.
My question is.... Were the live rounds ever checked for fingerprints to determine who brought the live rounds to the set? 💜
Good question
There are things about Alec the public doesn't know that will make you sick. I hope it comes out.
Oh I hope so. Do tell 😏
Tell it!
What I already know makes me sick.
He’s a narcissistic 🐷…trying to mansplain his way out… YOU DONT AIM A GUN AT A PERSON AND PULL THE TRIGGER!
What things????
So Arrogant he incriminates himself!!
He needs to do jail time!!
sounds like a good reality show
HE IS NOT GUILTY, actor is not responsible for props. The one who gave him the charged pislot is guilty, Alek is not guilty. You don't understand that the actor has his job, and those who gave the gun are their tasks. The person responsible for the prop is guilty, Alec is not. How do you imagine it? The shooting process is underway, and each time the actor has to go through what kind of gun he was given and check?
I urge everyone if you haven’t watched HGs trial please do. It will answer some of your questions especially about the gun
Hope he loses everything in his civil lawsuit!!
Why did you say so? Did he make you pregnant ?
@chriswlee7181
U obviously know norhing,especially the law!!
I hope the civil lawsuit Bankrupts him!!
Not walking away from this Baldwin…nice try! 😆
He'll walk. He always does! Most arrogant man on the planet! Has never been held accountable for anything!
He tried to blame Halyna Hutchins for telling him to point the gun at her, even a blank can kill someone!
Did this arrogant bastard really expect the judge to dismiss his case?
I mean he should not be going to jail he wasn't the one who loaded the gun
😂 yup
@@juneharris2018 of course he did. Hollywood money talks !!
@warhammerfaction yes he did.
@warhammerfatction the State destroyed the history of the Firearm in a useless test, how do they restore that history?
What I don't understand is, with his claim that he didn't pull the trigger, surely there must be video of precisely what happened?
No he was practicing yet claims Haylena told him to line up the shot,had she did tell him that it would have been recorded.armour wasn't on set at time, that's not heeding to her job or saftey protocols 🤷
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well done judge, a murderer should never dictate the outcome of his or her crime. You'd think an actor would relish the opportunity to play innocent on a WW stage lol. Sir there's a human being not walking amongst us because you unalived them.
Armors fault not his he shouldn't spend time in jail because she loaded a live round when he always shoots dry guns
@@warhammerfactionthen let a jury of his peers decide the outcome.
@@warhammerfactionkeep on believing that,your in for a rude awakening,he was a negligent director, veteran actor and was his responsibility for the entire production,he damn well knew what he was doing and has you fooled into thinking he's o so innocent.
He was a negligent director who let his crew handle weapons including the prop manager and assistant director props manager threw away potential evidence (ammo)on his order,no one will ever know who brought live ammo to the set because of his NEGLIGENCE!
The industry standard is EVERYONE has to check the gun. Baldwin was asked if he wanted to check the gun and he said, "NO". He
pulled the trigger.. I don't know if the guest on your channel is aware of that.
Baldwin pointed the gun at a person and (allegedly) pulled the trigger. That's negligence on its own, no matter if there was a live round or not.
Industry "standard" is not law.
That's what I keep saying. How do industry protocols trump law?
@@nancybryson5488
In this case Baldwin's lawyers lost and the trial will commence. Industry standards fall before the rule of law.
@@nancybryson5488 They don't its even the SAG pdf they clearly state that local laws are #1 but they also say its the actors responsibility to follow gun safety rules. So a double whammy against Alec. I think he will do some jail time.
The fool pointed the gun at another person and pulled the trigger.
Were just forgetting he was on set lol? Its not his responsibility its the armors
@@warhammerfaction It's still HIS responsibility to check it. Also, he was dumb enough to point it at someone with his finger on the trigger. He broke every gun safety rule out there. He deserves to spend decades in prison.
@@ohsnapitsbilly3200AGREED.
That he hired being his 1st crew walked off set because he wouldn't heed to safety protocols and he's a veteran actor,lead director and this was his whole production 🤷@@warhammerfaction
We can't know that now the state destroyed the possibility of finding that out.
you have to dismiss this?, I'm famous!, ahm, thats my argument Your Honour?.
Guilty, away with you!
The buck stops with him at the end of the day! 🎞📽🎬🎥
Baldwin did the crime - now he's got to do the time.
Baldwin is so arrogant for not having an attorney present.
And very very foolish. Also foolish to not take the misdemeanor deal.
Does he even listen to his lawyers. Practically every defense lawyer would recommend immediately taking that deal.
Did he think that would hurt his civil cases? I don't think it makes any difference because the bar in civil is so much lower.
GUILTY MANSLAUGHTER
1 🤬
It's gonna be crazy seeing how the defense breaks down why they decided to use a real gun.
Are you stupid? Doesn’t matter if the gun was real……the only important aspect is if the bullets were real.
Alec sure is a talker!
u mean BULLLshitter,,,
U mean BULLL SH itter
U mean BULLL SH💩💩💩 ITTER🤡
Overexplainer.
Hmmm...is he gonna win the Oscar for his performance??? 😂😂
He deserves jail time. He killed a woman and also shot the director of the movie.
Hannah was and first to blame for not doing her job correctly as an armourer, but Alec is definitely second to blame because Alec had the gun in his hands and didn’t double check it or ask someone to check it and Alec hit the trigger somehow and went off.
All of Hannah’s complaints about being split between two jobs on a very busy set, fell on deaf ears.
She wrote a complaint about Alec Baldwin’s disregard for the safety meeting he was supposed to participate.
He is arrogant.
We don’t know what his motives were…
@@jg8464 I agree and Hannah was to blame too and now she is in jail.
@@jg8464I agree. He is the only one to blame. The number one rule in filming to never point the gun at people. He did just that. He also refused to allow everyone not to do their jobs. He was running the entire operation.
@@jg8464 The weapon expert is first to blame.
Everything you said " the fact he aimef pulled the trigger and the victim died directly is proven manslaughter no matter whst
On the bright side, after serving prison time, Alec will have enough "Hands on" experience in prison, he'll be able to co-star in Sylvester Stallone's next prison break movie. lol
Why would the court(s) dismiss someone who was directly involved in the loss of life of Halyna Hutchins? Alec is living in a fantasy world.
That industry standard says:
"All local, state and federal laws and regulations are applicable and can override these guidelines if they are more stringent."
I'm not sure about New Mexico law, but I assume usually the person handling a gun would be ultimately responsible for its safety.
This should absolutely go to court, let a jury of his peers decide.
The first rule my Daddy taught me about handling ANY firearm is ALWAYS assume the firearm is LOCKED AND LOADED until YOU YOURSELF, clear the firearm.
He would make me repeat this rule before he would hand me a firearm.
Yes! Good for you, smart dad.
How do you clear a firearm that is supposed to have rounds in it that look just like real rounds?
@@darwinawardcommittee ok. Ya got me.
Exactly
Exactly
I must have missed the part when someone explained why in the 21st century a REAL gun that can fire real ammunition is being used on a set in the first place. I also suspect either a firm or AI is posting all of these clueless comments. And liking or NOT liking an actor has nothing to do with his culpability for a serious crime.
I think he needs to get off that high horse of his.
🤣 High horse, not so much. He had to practically be hoisted onto the chunky pony he rode while filming the final scenes in Montana.
Good!!!👍🏻
He’s always been arrogant. Just look at his past with his former wife & daughter. He has never taken accountability for much in his life and he would be so used to YES men that in his world he’s untouchable. Thankfully the law doesn’t apply to those who believe they are above the law simply because of status. Geez he’s just an actor. Nothing really that special. After watching all of his interviews and how he treated handling the gun on set he’s completely guilty of pulling the trigger. Guns just don’t go off on their own- or if they do it’s so extremely rare. He had a lower budget, he wanted things done his way and as a consequence a young lady lost her life. At the end of the day he should have checked his weapon. He also shouldn’t be fooling around on set with ‘ dummy’ weapons and he was responsible for hiring Hannah. He did pull that trigger, whether he wants to admit that now or not. And the state will be able to prove that imo. He deserves to be held accountable.
Spinning the truth…that’s his life. Nice try though.
How many times is he going to try and dismiss it?!? Jesus Christ, you SHOT AND KILLED someone, you don't feel like you're at all to blame??? 🤔 Sounds like a terrible person who belongs in jail, not in a movie.
He has NEVER been at fault for anything! He is Alex Baldwin, remember??? 😂😂😂
Alec's BIG problem is that he LIED about pulling the trigger. I hope he gets imprisoned.
Is he still adamant he never pulled the trigger?
These so called experts seem to think NM gun law is subordinate to film industry standards - what?
NM gun law & what constitutes involuntary manslaughter don’t care what the movie industry has to say about criminal law!!!
Criminal recklessness resides on Alec’s shoulders - he knew 💯 % the potential lethality of pointing & discharging a real gun making him 💯 % liable.
You simply can’t shift the liability for his & only his actions that resulted in this reckless gun death - hard stop 🛑 ✋!
At the very least he's culpable for manslaughter. He stated, "I just assumed like every time it was a cold gun".. every gun handler knows thr basoc abc's. Hes so arrogant that he thought he was above the law, and everyone else takes the rap. 😮
He was using the gun as a pointer as well. The industry standard for gun training says that when someone hands you a gun, you check it, and you never point a gun at someone unless you intend to pull the trigger.
Thank you
Its sig not taurus that were having issues with discharging when dropped. There's a big difference between a gun just going off in your hand and a gun going off when dropped. Baldwin 100% pulled that trigger and caused it to fire.
Being a rich, arrogant actor doesn't mean he should not be held accountable in some way. He's not above the law.
He was a negligent director/veteran actor/co producer and the whole production was his!
SMH @Baldwin.
How can he deny pulling the trigger when he literally did? What an arrogant a-hole. No remorse what so ever over his mistakes. No one ever said he's the demon, people understand it was an accident due to negligence, but his attitude does not help him one bit. Makes him look vile.
No one is above the law
Where's ur lawyer bro
He's been in many other movies involving guns. He KNOWS the rules and protocols for handling guns. NEVER point a weapon at another person whether they claim it is cold or not. It will be interesting to see what the defense witness has to say about Alec not pulling the trigger.
I don't understand why Court TV experts are so bad when it comes to how guns operate.
These guns were not manufactured for this movie. They are off-the-shelf Italian-made replicas of Colt Single-Action Army revolvers. They are distinctly different in their design in many different ways from a Taurus that was referenced, and conflating the two shows only ignorance about the subject.
He’s lying about her
Okay, this has been going on for almost 3 years now. Either you're going to dismiss the charges, or not.
Good!
Ill-informed "experts" here.... if both of them think industry standards are going to have a direct impact upon jury decision.... and yet neither one of them even knows what that industry standards actually is.... shouldn't they check to find out before them come on air? Do you really expect me to take ANYthing they say seriously? What a joke.
this so called expert on air is incorrect. how the live round got into the firearm is irrelevant to the responsibility to check the weapon. she has clearly demonstrated he lack of knowledge of weapon handling as well as the law.
His lawyers had to file that. Just shows they know what they're doing. Good luck, Alec. xXx
Hannah Reed was convicted in March of involuntary manslaughter, after a jury found that her negligence caused the death of Halyna Hutchins. Judge Marry Sommer said Reed had not shown any remorse. Judge also said to Reed “ You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. And is spending 18 months in prison she should get more prison time. The victim was transported to UNM, Albuquerque. By car it would have been 45 miles but helicopter faster.
Haha Baldwin blames the victim for not protecting herself from him. What a turd, lock him up.
David Halls was the only genuinely remorseful person
None of the people making these judgements has ever worked in film. The person who brought live rounds to set bears primary responsibility. I do not know who did that and if it was not Hannah she bears no responsibility for a number of reasons first among those is the fact that she was doing three jobs. The next responsible party is Alec Baldwin but not for the reason charged. He was not negligent in handling the weapon. He is responsible for the chaotic conditions on set. He was the executive producer actually on set and he violated film safety protocols by taking the handoff from the first AD. He took a gun from the wrong department. This was a direct result of the corners being cut by a low budget productions. I have never worked on a film set where the actor checks the weapon for himself. You take the weapon from head props or the armorer ready to fire and fire it and hand it off again to props. It is only in your hand while the camera is rolling. This is the safety protocol, only one person handles the firearm and that person is head props, or his second or an armorer. I have never seen a principal check a firearm on set. It defeats the safety protocol. Film costs were ten thousand dollars a minute in 1985. No one holds up production checking other departments work. Alec was negligent in the way he ran his set, not in the way he handled the firearm. None of the people involved in the prosecution know anything about film production or the protocols involved. They have worked for one hundred years and Alec Baldwin was the first producer to run a fatally flawed set. There remains the possibility that in the confusion surrounding the departure of the camera crew someone deliberately sabotaged the production. That is the kind of 'S' you have in low budget and why Hanna's only error was taking the gig. She should have run from the meeting where she signed the deal memo. Production was an accident looking for a place to happen
Didnt baldwin hire hananh allegedly?
Yes he did because his 1st crew walked off set because he wouldn't heed to safety protocols.
@@jenniferornelas4151smart 1st crew
"Involuntary" is in the armorer directly no matter what unless they can prove the armorer actually plotted murder alec baldwin should still be going to jail for 8-9years and nothing less without credits
"she" has a name.
Throw his azc under the jail
Way too much explanation. Did I just hear him say he shot the gun? In the early days of the investigation, I thought he said that he never pulled the trigger.
All three people talking here are completely ignorant of the use, handling and safety requirements of firearms. Any person trained in the use of a firearm, as Baldwin has been trained numerous times, knows the Four Rules of firearm safety. The same rules used in the Movie industry. Baldwin RECKLESSLY violated ALL of the safety rules he was required to adhere to, and that’s why one is dead and another was injured. That’s the whole case in nutshell. 100% manslaughter.
Alec’s father was a shooting coach, he’s been around guns from an early age. He’s had formal firearms safety training so many times, he could qualify as an expert on gun safety. He knew what NOT to do! He did everything he was trained not to do. He knows he’s at fault here and is just trying to dodge responsibility. The Prosecution should be able to point out these simple facts and put him in a cell for eighteen months, easily.
Should have taken the plea deal, Alec!
Alec will need his TDS to get out of this one, and you know his TDS never lets him down!!
No, the union does NOT require an actor to check the weapon. It suggests it, but does not require it. Do not forget, it was David Halls, the security lead (not Gutierrez) who passed the gun to Baldwin stating it was "cold." So that was essentially two "expert" safety vettings just before he rehearsed.
I would never trust someone telling me a gun is unloaded and not verify that myself, regardless of the position held by the person handing me the weapon, regardless of the circumstances I’m in. I wouldn’t trust ANYONE’s word. I’m curious if he would have put that gun to his own head and fired without checking? Would he have risked his own safety as easily as he risked everyone else’s?
Industry standard doesn’t matter, though SAG rules support the criminal charge. You cant point it at someone, you have to know it is a real gun, and you are responsible. Also, NM law overrides it anyway. He was reckless, waving it around, cocking the gun and pointing at a person when he shouldn’t have.
if Baldwin just stops giving all these media sources his self-centered interviews, and kept his mouth shut during his police interview, this case would have been so much easier for his defense counsel. But no, narcissists can never stop talking.
Agreed 💯
They were live rounds on set because Alec Baldwin and the macho men were shooting at bottles onset with live rounds, everyone was complaining about it, but him being Mr. macho did not listen to them so him and his friends brought live rounds to the party. He’s responsible.😳
AB said it for you all! He would normally shoot away from his line- why did he point directly at the victim? His pointing should have been away from a human - it wasn’t and AB was the last line of safety, not inconsistent with NM laws.
Cop thinks she has her taser and shoots the driver with a loaded duty weapon. It was an accident but the cop is spending time in jail.
Industry standard is NOT to point towards any human or animal. That’s the safety standard.
Screen actors guild, OSHA, Director’s Guild and every single handbook owned by actors, producers and directors on set. All people are responsible for safety on set is also the rule in all handbooks.
AB pointed and pulled the trigger- he’s finally responsible for the use of that weapon. Never point towards a human
This woman knows zero about gun safety standards . IMO - no one is saying how that live Ammo got there- does not take safety standards away from any actor. He knows never to point towards a human . Don’t make the case more difficult than it is. It’s simple and clear. If AB hadn’t pointed at a human the bullet would have gone through a wall or a ceiling and the police never would have known.
Last point/ ignorance of the law is no exception or excuse. Right?
This absolutely ridiculous that they charging him
Good!! 👍🏿 👍🏿👍🏿
Those guns have a robust trigger that doesn’t “go off”. He’s guilty.
Exactly!
Orange is your color ,Alec.
Prize p...k he is
He was told it was a cold gun. He was rehearsing, aiming at the camera (and, thus, 2 people at the camera). There's no strong case here.
What an ego. A lady with a family of her own, with an up and coming career was killed because of neglect and YOU want to just dismiss it all away!!? Disgusting.
I’m sorry not sorry but if us “average people” accidentally shot someone we would be behind bars no question asked sooooo 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Rust proves the old adage, when signing a deal memo always "look for the Union Label."
Never assume Alec, you make an ass out of Uma Thurman. He did point the gun at the camera!!! 4:27
Lol here let me draw a picture for you in case my story doesn’t convince you
Maybe I just do not fully understand, but why is there such a strong desire (as we can see below in the comments) to see this man behind bars ? Why such hatred towards him ? Has he done anything to any of them personally ? We all know that the unfortunate death of Mrs. Hutchins is the result of an accident. And deep down inside, you all know it is. Sadly, this society values retribution more than fair justice.
now he is going to have his own show on TLC he guess he really needs the money! not going to watch it all those kids running around & yelling no tks
I’ve been around guns pretty much my whole life and the first thing we were taught when you hand a gun to someone you open the action and check it and hand the gun showing that it’s unloaded. The person receiving the gun also looks and makes sure it’s unloaded. This was a movie set. In no instance should there have been a live round in a gun on set. Whoever handed the gun to him . Is the last person to hold it to an actor who in his mind . It’s a movie set and there are never live rounds in a gun on set. Who Brough the live rounds on a movie set??
If the court thinks that the actor is further responsible for the weapon in the act of rehearsal, then an army of SAG actors will be--pardon a pun---up in arms. They may have to change the regulations on set, but actors are not arms specialists.
Marsha is right. Any potential action against the executives regarding hiring would not be criminal, but it would be a rather byzantine civil case. Don't forget, Halyna Hutchin's husband is also a producer in this movie.
