IF the state tried to hide evidence on this high profile case against someone very wealthy who can fight it, imagine what they've been doing to poor folks all this time.
My thoughts exactly!
Exactly.
That’s a great point. We’re fucked
EXACTLY!!!
And they do. All the time.
People that go on with life after doing this to another human being without any regret or care are, to put it lightly, monsters.
Prosecutors who deliberately withhold evidence that could free a defendant should be jailed. Period. #TRUTH
Absolutely
The same goes the other way, as well. 👍
Happens every GD day...anything for that check in the WIN column...
If this had been a normal person without Alec Baldwin's financial resources, they'd likely have been found guilty and imprisoned.
It makes me absolutely shudder to think how many lives dishonest police and overzealous prosecutors have ruined in this country.. There simply HAS to be ramifications for them. Severe ramifications.
@@killedthecat1034 Found the bootlicker!
I worked as a court reporter for close to 30 years. This judge's decision was epic. We need more judges like her.
I agree 💯!!
It's really unbelievable, the many violations by the prosecution. Baldwin seemed to be negligent, but they still needed to operate legally.
@@micheleh5269 Was it not the armourer who loaded the gun who was negligent? He just used a prop that was provided for him.
@@lesleyelalami2562 Negligence isn't a zero-sum game. There were multiple steps in the chain in which people should have shown due caution. Baldwin wasn't just an actor, he was also a producer, and one of the people who had been informed of safety concerns just before the incident in question.
Point being, there's at the very least a case worth trying here. I don't know if he would have been found guilty or not, but that was a very real option. It wouldn't have mattered if the armorer was *more* to blame, both could still be to blame.
Either way though, we'll never know, because the prosecution undermined the justice system.
@@lesleyelalami2562Alec admitted to pulling the trigger, Guilty
I wonder if the Prosecutor has gotten away with this before... 🤔 If I were the right person I would certainly *INVESTIGATE*
I thought the same.
I believe that the court case and verdict against the armorer is going to be looked into again as a result of this turn of events.
i wonder that too,but looks like this is been done before,they are all calm with the whole situation,looks like they are use to it,like is a perfect normal day
No matter how you feel about Baldwin, this conduct by the prosecution is absolutely unacceptable
The DA was grandstanding for reelection most likely.
Instead it's highly possible that this will end up blowing up in their face pretty badly.
Baldwin's legal bill is millions for nothing about nothing. How is this just? To be chained to these circumstances, not by any fault of your and then be robbed of a small fortune? He should've never been in the crosshairs. He's a damn ACTOR!
It was 100% about trying to get him for making fun of Trump on SNL. Based on this Baldwin should go on a counter attack and the courts should stop allowing themselves to be used for personal vendettas.
It's simply cheating.

Great idea
No kidding

Pretty dirty deal by the Sheriff's Office and Prosecutor to hide evidence against anyone. The Judge was so proficient on the law.
I highly doubt it was done with malice -- just total incompetence.
@@csnide6702 Keeping evidence from a trial is not incompetence, it definitely happened on purpose.

They ain't gonna send one of em White actors in prison, only if the SA'd someone.
And it didn’t take her several months!
Exactly 💯
I’m so grateful for an honest judge.

I’m not a fan, but agree with the verdict.
Unfortunately becoming a rarity in America today. Partisanship in the judiciary is on the rise and most predominantly going in one direction.

okay he might of got out of jail but the family of the victim can still do a civil lawsuit to win money.
@@henlohenlo689 that depends actually because if they try to do anything similar to how the prosecutors attempted this case, they won't win the Civil lawsuit.
Unlike trumps judge
@henlohenlo689 they have already and settled
Typical Hollywood liberal privilege. African man would have been in jail in few days of committing crime. Smh!
I never understood why he was charged, he had no reason not to think that everything was taken care of properly. He had no idea that those involved in the handling of the gun screwed up.
Agree!
I am with you there.
I don't know how it's handled in USA because your gun laws are way different then ours. However in Germany everyone, who is handling a gun (no matter your job is ... police, soldier, actor, hunter, etc) need to personally check if the gun is loaded. "If you are handling a gun you need to act like it's loaded" is a saying
@@katharinathen821 That is definitely a very important practice, but one can imagine in the case of an actor such as Alex, the people providing/responsible for these "props" should be also doing that and looking out for the whole team. EVERYONE should be held accountable here, not just one person. I don't know if those people were also held to account or not. It is just sad, because Alex had faith in the people who were supposed to be handling that for him. Can you imagine the shock when he fired that gun and someone died when it was supposed to be a prop? Horrible. That makes me angry for him. He was either set up or someone was REALLY negligent and he was the one to take the fall. I get what you are saying on paper is true, but the reality is, he probably knows very little about guns and there was someone on that set who was the expert.
@@averagejane09 I very much agree with you. I can't imagine what he felt as soon as he realized, what happened.
You can tell this tragedy devastated all parties
I think Baldwin's genuinely devastated over what happened and will live with that anguish for the rest of his life.
All of this. His visceral reaction to what happened WHEN it happened (crying, throwing up) showed it 😢wasn't intended, plus he already has to live with this the rest of his life.
It was an accident. No doubt.
Yeah karma is a bitch. A year or so prior to the incident he was openly taunting cops and their supporters on Twitter in order to score political points with BLM leftists, about how it’s impossible to accidentally shoot someone.
@@natalieford3238I do believe he genuinely felt bad. But the crying seemed like an act.
@@onkelfabs6408he’s been destroyed
Rarely have I seen a judge so calmly infuriated by prosecutorial misconduct as Judge Sommer was here.
Very astute comment, yes; exactly right.
Prosecutors aren't held to the same ethical standards as normal lawyers. If any other attorney did this, they would be referred to the state bar for discipline.
Maybe we can send her down to Florida and replace the incredibly incompetent Aileen Cannon!!!
Dead On.... She was PISSED. I've been in front of a lot of judges (as a defendant) and every once in awhile is see one get pissed about prosecutorial over reach. And it's awesome, because most judges in this country just bend right over for the prosecution
Alec Baldwin has beautiful hair
So happy for him. He did no such thing.person in charge of the equipment is guilty.can't imagine what he had went through.❤ TY JUDGE
It was never his fault to begin with. The actors had to trust the armorer, and the armorer was negligent. Alec Baldwin is as much a victim of this horrible accident as the deceased. This case has been tormenting him and he's been dragged through the mud.
His grief is palpable
one thing for sure if he go back to acting he never will make that mistake again because that what it was a accident.
@@elcid5033didn’t he go back to Rust?
And the armor has rely on producers and (co)producer which Baldwin was a coproducer.
@@jodyodell6159 except its her job to make sure every weapon on site is safe to use. She didn't do that. She can't claim she relied on other people when checking the weapons was literally in her job description.
If they had the nerve to hide evidence on a highly publicized trial with a celebrity, imagine what they do on a daily basis with ordinary citizens with no access to the best legal counsel.
For real! Anything to check a box in the "win" column. Disgusting
Reminds us of Rittenhouse prosecutors.
@@seanmcpherson7962 Agree. The prosecutors tampered with evidence and lied about the evidence they had and covered up crimes of the ones shot.
Something tells me the prosecutor may have had a vested interest in having a celebrity high-profile conviction as a legal notch on her belt.
That's exactly why it's estimated that 1 out of every 20 Americans in prison are in fact innocent. Prosecutorial misconduct is a big issue in this country.
She doesn't just rule, she breaks it all down with complete transparency. Well done.
Absolutely agreed
@@joelcornes2095 just as she was told to do and probably paid to do.

▪︎Judiciary,Police serving - Nation or Elites?
This was a dreadful mess. The young woman in charge of the weaponry had too much on her plate. She needed help, and didn't have it. Baldwin will never be the same.
her verdict will be dismissed too
@@MeanBlackKittyIt was at the same time
If you accept the pay and responsibility then accept responsibility. Don't use your tears and excuses when you actually find out you have to actually earn the money by upholding a very critical piece to an establishment that you signed up for.
none of them will 😢
@@JimBallou-mm3su I don't know where you are getting your information, but her case has NOT been dismissed and she is planning an appeal.
The judge said “Not in MY court”.
Put her on the SCOTUS
It is her court.. Well technically, she is the court. "The Court" would generally be referring to the judge, or the judges powers.
This shit with the prosecution is happening all the time, it's just most people can't afford ten million dollars lawyers
Sadly that is Struve but that’s not Alec’s fault - very stiff sentences need to be given to these bent lawyers to deter them
prison for profit is rotting society from within
That’s the justice system and not on Baldwin.
No lies!!
This is true. I was innocent of what I was accused of but didn't have the money for a lawyer to fight it. Had a public defender that was working with the prosecution more than he was ever working for me. Took a plea deal with no jail time just to make it go away, but it still haunts me today and this was back in 2011. I don't have much trust for anyone anymore. I almost feel like I'm sociopathic now. Very anti-social and hate society.
The state made a mess of this. The whole thing was nuts
As a resident of NM. I find this very embarrassing and shoddy work by the prosecutors.
Well, the judge works for the state too, and she followed the law in meticulous detail. In the end, NM got the right result.
Typical Hollywood liberal privilege. African man would have been in jail in few days of committing crime. Smh!
Really. He shot and killed a person.
Yeah, this case should have never been brought.
I am a retired attorney with 40 years experience. I have watched Prosecutor Offices who started off as honest and decent, upholding the law, start down the road of cheating, ignoring the law and seeking "wins" as opposed to what they are supposed to be doing: Doing Justice. When caught they just shrug their shoulders as iof it doesn't matter. This doesn't surprise me at all. Right now, I would never trust a Prosecutor's word. A 180 when I started 40 years ago.
Never seen a Judge Dissect a Case point by point like this judge did. Can’t see the decision going to the Appeals Court ‼️‼️
It can’t anyway. Motions to dismiss can’t be appealed except in a few very specific instances because it counts as double jeopardy
That's what the "extreme prejudice" is about.
Crooked prosecutors decided to hide evidence, they attacked Alec, and they deserve to have this case thrown out with prejudice. The prosecutors should be ashamed of themselves for disregarding the integrity of the legal process.
Probably directed by trump!
I didn't follow the case except headlines. What did the state hide?
Like the Kyle Rittenhouse case? When the dirty democrat party DAs withheld evidence, but that case wasn’t thrown out.
@@woodstream6137 check wiki tomorrow
@@helixfire1198 yes they did this to Alec in this case, but what about all the other cases previous to Alec I can’t believe this is the first time they ever pulled crap like this those prosecutors they should be investigated. They should look at cases going way back they had an agenda of their own and it wasn’t for justice or what was right and fair.
"Withholding evidence by a prosecutor during trial" should be a crime punishable by years in jail, a hefty fine, and permanent disbarment from being a lawyer on a second offense. BET YOU if defense attorneys had been caught doing something like this, Mr. Baldwin would be looking at jail time.
The fact that these prosecutors are just going to go on with their lives, maybe with an L in their W/L ratio, is really disgusting because they learn nothing but to be more careful with how they withhold evidence the next time.
There needs to be CONSEQUENCES for these Prosecutors.
The defense has no obligation to give evidence to the prosecution., it's a one way principle, as technically, prosecution has all the powers in the first place.(Police, investigation, interrogtion, arrestation, immunity...). So the defense attorneys would never be able to be "caught" like this.
There are other ethical issues but yeah...
This has gone on for years!! Totally corrupt system!!!! The police even STRAIGHT UP LIE WRITTING UP THE INFORMATION FOR A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT!!!! I'VE SEEN IT!!! EXTREME EVIL!!!! WHY YOU ASK!!!???? THEY PRIVATIZED THE JUSTICE SYSTEM YEARS AGO!!! THEY GET PD TO PUT Your CHILDREN THROUGH Their SYSTEM!!!! ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!! MARK MY WORDS!!! ITS ALL ABOUT MAKING MORE MONEY SO THE MORE THEY GET INTO THE SYSTEM THE MORE MONEY MADE!!!! FACT!!!! 😡🙏
To me that didn't even look like Baldwin 😮
Nah ... The Defence has no obligation to disclose. If the Defendant's lawyer do some unwarranted disclosure, they will have broken their solicitor and client privilege and they would be disbarred; I do not know about the going to jail part.
No it was Trump,,your tinfoil hat fell off@cutesybunny3360
Alec never should of been there in the first place, period
Correct. He was given a gun in the course of acting that was supposedly "clear" and instructed to shoot by the person who was shot. If it had been someone else, I wonder if they would have gone after her to?
Imagine how many others this prosecutor had done this too
He never intended to kill anyone. He never plotted to kill anyone. Thank you judge for being fair and truthful! We never believed the people slandering your name , Alec. HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH!
You don't even need to be a fan of Baldwin to see that what you say is true. Any reasonable and decent person can see it. He never should have been charged.
He did no intended to kill anyone but he did. He did not plotted to kill Galina but he failed to check th gun, he failed not to point a gun to direction of people and he pulled the trigger while his gun was pointed to direction of people. Besides that he was director who failed to organize working process well as well who employed wrong person. You are protecting him because he is famous actor and because he is born american while Galina was immigrant. That's true point.

The state prosecutor should be criminally charged. They KNEW they withheld evidence. Most law students that.
or sanctioned at the very least!
Hopefully the state bar will apply severe penalties to the state prosecutor for withholding/falsifying evidence.
probably a MAGA dickhead after AB because of his outspoken views on Trump
@@anthonymosqueda3536 there was no evidence or allegation if falsifying, nor did anyone argue intent. You'd make a terrible lawyer
Exactly
The DA's office messed up big time. It wasn't for them to decide whether the evidence had value. They still had to disclose it to the defense. Anyway, I doubt there would have been a conviction even if this didn't happen. I wonder if the DA's office has done this to other defendants who are now sitting in jail. Maybe the prosecutors should spend time in jail.
How much people this prosecutor sent to prison wrongly those cases should be dismissed
The state ruined this case. The judge made the right decision here. The proscutor took this case personally and did everything she could to cover his evidence up. Shame on her.
I doubt she cares considering she more than likely got a fat pay day from Mr Baldwin 😂
The other lady should be freed
Evidence ruined this case.
She wanted to use it to further her career.
Most of us believe that Baldwin accidentally shot those two people. It's very sad that one of them even parrished. With that being said,we also know AB would be putting on skits on SNL pertaining to the trajedy ,if Trump were involved. The guy looks like he's unhinged all the time, and it doesn't take anything for him to go on a rant. What ever you do, don't take the guys parking place.
The DA should be reprimanded for wasting tax payer dollars for pursuing a case like this…
The judge just did that.
DA's are elected.
The voters are supposed to reprimand them.
AND the sheriff's department..I wonder how many late meetings . AND road side gatherings they pulled off together 😅
I have been saying all along that Alec was being railroaded-could not understand why, tho. This was a complete accident and if it had been anyone other than famous Alec Baldwin, it never would have come this far. The prosecutor should be held accountable. It undermines real justice in this country, which we already have a serious problem with.
His case should have never been brought to court.
100% agree.
The mere fact that this Judge did NOT take days, weeks or months to come to a quick and necessary decision is rarely seen these days! The Courts should have more Judge's like Mary Harlowe!
@@TheStuport it was an easy call. A major blunder by the prosecution. Too often the State gets a little too cocky and presumptuous about the cases they’re prosecuting.

Prosecutorial misconduct!!! Wow! This is right out of a Hollywood movie!!
This action was done on purpose by the Prosecutor, so that a member of the protected class would never spend a day in jail. This is how Freemasons protect each other.
It takes a Hollywood Defendant.
The entire prosecution team should be immediately suspended and permanently removed from office. This case should have never even been brought to trial, and the damage can't be undone.
Disgusting.

She wants no part of it..👍🏻
Absolutely! However, when you look at the court process in general, both the prosecution and defense attorneys can formally file a motion with the judge asking to have specific information suppressed from the jury who may find the info important to their decision-making process. It's not fair to suppress evidence without the court's knowledge and it shouldn't be fair to be able to ask the court to suppress information from jurors.

The state made a huge mistake trying to manipulate the law to get Baldwin in jail and that is not what justice is all about. I think this judge is absolutely correct on dismissing the case.

This case should have never been brought to court. Too bad he can't sue the prosecutor for bringing false charges, knowing they had evidence that could exonerate.
Wow what a joke, prosecutors should resign.
he should never have been charged to start with
Why? It was an accident, caused by the person who loaded a prop gun with live rounds, handed it to Baldwin and told him they were full of blanks. The actual person responsible has already been punished
This case has been a gong show from the get go…
Alec is not the prop master.
She’s an appointed special prosecutor. She’s normally a defense attorney. Isn’t that so much worse? She knows better. She’s just evil.
A downright SHAMMMMM, thank goodness for the law of sensibility.
I couldn’t see how charges were even brought against Baldwin. If someone works on your breaks and it’s proven they are negligent in the repair they are responsible for any result of driving said car, not the driver
that is why it is so immensley important that Trumps next trial will be televised. It puts pressure on every team to do the best they can - or it shows who is doing a crappy job!
If it's a federal case they legally can't. Not sure why because I'm not a lawyer but for whatever reason federal cases don't allow the case to be televised. States ones can (at least in some states)
This was the right call. The court has made a great decision
Should never have gone to court - clearly it wasn't Mr. Baldwin's responsibility right from the get go ..... but he had 'the ability to pay' and so they went after him.
@@Kr0N05Agreed
What Happened that Day Was Horrible but let's Face it Baldwin didn't Intentionally Kill That Poor Girl.
Sorry for the family's loss but it was an accident and the prop departments fault.
Absolutely agree!! He shouldn’t be punished he didn’t load the gun. Charge the person who did
I thought the same thing as soon as it happened.
Agreed. I don't expect actors to be weapons experts. That's why they hire them when filming. Unfortunately they hired a sorry "expert," and that's putting it mildly. She was completely unqualified.
They shouldn’t have even put him on trial.
Typical Hollywood liberal privilege. African man would have been in jail in few days of committing crime. Meanwhile this white dude is free?? Smh!
I agree.
I don't think he should ever have been charged.
Actos like him expect others to check those guns.
Other people do check those guns.They have a responsibility to do so.
Baldwin had no reason to hurt the victim and the prosecution never provided a reason other than negligence that in this in case isn't warranted.
So the judge had no choice but dismissal.
Why the prosecutor didn't turn over the rounds is baffling to me. Why they didn't even disclose it. The evidence tech should have went to her superiors and told them hey these need to be turned over the Sp special prosecutor won't do it wont let me do it etc etc.
So my concern is if he had been poor and it had been a public defender what would have happened to Baldwin.I think he would have been convicted.I think its almost a slam dunk the young woman who was convicted has her case overturned as well.
I'm a white Republican male.
I do not agree with Alec's politics but he has brought joy to my family for years. We named our son after him.
He's innocent and he is ripped to shreds by this this. My heart goes out to the family of the victims here but Alec is innocent.
I'm sorry but hes INNOCENT😢
Finally, a Judge that follows the rule of law. Good for her. I never thought this man should have been on trial for the tragedy in the first place.
Why should he have not been on trial? He pulled the trigger. First rule of firearms safety is always treat the gun as if it is loaded.
Alec Baldwin as a person should probably not have been charged but his production company should. He is still a good deal responsible for the outcome.

Holy Sh!t! An actual judge looking to uphold the integrity of the justice system! Take note SCOTUS, this is what judicial integrity looks like. 👏👏👏
For those of you who have as have I followed this case, it has been apparent for some time that the prosecutors and the police were acting way too arrogant. In their mind, they had made the choices, they made the decisions, they were the law, that they were the case. They had lost their focus on who they are and who they really work for. A prosecutor and the police must never forget that they work for the people. The choices are not their choices, the decisions they do not get to decide. Society long ago has made the choices and the decisions. The police and the prosecutors are required to follow the law as it is written, not the whim of one or the other. The judge made the only decisions she could make based on their conduct
Coincidentally, this is the same focus we have seen abandoned in our Supreme Court’s decisions of late and our national politics. Americans need to do as this defense Attorney and Judge have done and draw the line in the sand. Now, and 100 times if needs be, we the people must draw the line in the sand. The line is well known by those knowledgeable of faith and conscience and the law. We must remind our courts and our leaders. Now is the time!
they arent all greedy evil men
@@dh5380Truth!!!
SCOTUS, unfortunately has been politicized for decades. Its just that now the democrats and the left is screaming loudly because they aren't getting their way for once. Maybe the republicans and conservatives should have been screaming just as loudly in decades past with what became an activists court instead of a court that is meant to defend and interpret law.
SCOTUS are the only ones actually upholding the Law rn
Always trust the State? Just another example of why they must earn our trust.
Has the woman in charge of the firearms been charged because she gave Baldwin the ok i as an actor trust what the staff indicates so i find it ridiculous to charge him if someone is payed to prepare firearms for scenes its on them.Who's fault was it when Brandon lee was shot in a scene with a real bullet was anyone charged?
First rule you learn in criminal law class, don't suppress evidence. This is a no no. Did they think they could get away with this going up against competent attorneys.
the defense was on it !!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
The whole point was to suppress the evidence to tank the case and let him walk. Alec was rewarded for being a dem donor.
Right? Then little Miss Smarty Pants put herself on the stand and got her sassy pants handed to her on a silver platter!
I wonder if they just figured they'd get a slap on the wrist and went ahead anyways suppressing evidence then they released it at trial to the defense to put the defeNSe in the hot seat of needing to ask for a continuance. That's how Pretrial started out, actually. The defense was left holding the bill and the judge was at first angry that they in essence needed a continuance based on what the prosecution had done.
They even made a movie about it
This was obviously a terrible and tragic Accident.
Bravo judge.
I agree. What a nightmare for everyone
It was not an accident! Open your eyes as to what going on in this country, this was revenge, someone put that bullet in the gun.
That's not why the case was dismissed. This is an example of prosecutor misconduct. The charge was Involuntary Manslaughter. The problem was the prosecutor withheld evidence. Except for that Baldwin may well have been sentenced to a prison term.
you're a clown
@@stevemcarthur4022 It seems the prosecutor withheld evidence because the evidence favored Baldwin's defense. So perhaps he wouldn't have been found guilty anyway.
How can you as Americans get this judge to the supreme Court?

Baldwin should never have been charged. This Judge did this exactly right.
i totally agree
He pulled the trigger didn't he?!
@maxkonig559 not if you're lib
He even said he didn't pull the trigger lol
The New Mexico prosecutors said over and over they will target Baldwin just because he is a celebrity, they HID the very evidence that would exonerate the armorer so they HAD TO HIDE IT in this case as well!
Dear Alec, so HAPPY and relieved for you and your family! Best wishes, Katy
Happy that this judge is prudent, honest and fair.
Law student here. The judge dismissed this case with prejudice, which means it’s permanently over and cannot be brought back to court. Dismissing WITHOUT prejudice means it’s dismissed for now but can be brought back to court later.
Like it says in the description.
Jeopardy was explicitly attached. Let's hope the court of public opinion frees him as well.
PAID OFF
Thankyou!

Should never have gone to court in the first place, a complete and utter waste of time and money.
Everything was mishandled from word go with the film crew forward.
I agree with you 100%. I was praying because I felt that bringing this case against Alec Baldwin was totally unjust and uncalled for.
@@sammy-ix3eh I agree that no one should have ever handed this absolutely irresponsible imbecile a firearm of any kind. Clearly he can't tell the difference and he doesn't know anything about proper handling of a firearm. When I was at basic training, they handed everyone five blanks and told everyone to load them into a magazine and then load the magazine into the firearm at all times, just to see who the nitwits were. I witnessed at least two negligent discharges due to mishandling. They should have been discharged from the service then and there before they killed someone. Never, ever point a gun barrel at another human being. Unload, clear, check and discharge in a safe direction. If you can't do that, you shouldn't hand someone a gun. Blanks can kill, and they killed Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow.
Ditto, ditto, ditto!!!
I think I should mention on this thread that I like Alec Baldwin from 30 rock and snl. I'm sure other things too.
I don't know enough of what happened
a woman died at work because someone brought a real bullet. someone needs to be in trouble. if that was your family you would want justice for this careless and unnecessary death.
as I said I don't understand who's actually to blame, I tried to find out initially after the tragedy. but ya, I would want someone to be in trouble.
I am so happy this is finally over. He deserves a huge apology.
Hell no he does not
now this makes sense. justice still lives in the USA.
...if you're rich and famous...
This situation was downright heartbreaking all around.
Baldwin is a narcissistic man that got away with murder
RIP Halyna Hutchins 🕊

May she rest in peace, and her family get consolation from The Divine.
I feel as if she didn’t want Baldwin to go through this.
Acts such as this should be considered criminal and prosecutors should face charges. This is corruption at its worst.
I understand it was an accident but it's wild that he didn't get any jail time for KILLING someone...any other person would have. When you have money and status I guess your held on different rules.
Not Baldwins fault. Who was in charge of the set/film props/weapons
Bravo! It is very rare that judges step up to the plate as the Hon. Mary Sommer has done.
Judge Merchan could learn a thing or two from this judge. Don't you agree?
What are you talking about "very rare". Most judges act with high professional standards most of the time. Very rare is more applicable to those who don't.
I am sure Halyna Hutchins would agree with your commentary. As you know actors are our betters and therefore should not be held accountable for their actions.
@@wanderingtravellerAB99 "Most judges act with high professional standards most of the time." Please seek professional help. You're not well.
Hopefully Mr. Baldwin can now grieve fully. This lethal accident has weighed heavily on his heart.
Grieve for who? The victim he shot or for himself cause he almost went to jail or something for manslaughter.
@@Senoritagata-nu5teYou sound like an angry Trump fan.
Now we get to hear him lecture us gun control. He better not say shit lol
You can tell. He looks like crap. I'm sure all of this has had a horrible effect on him, not only charges that should never have been made but he still wound up killing someone even if it was through no fault of his own.
@@brianmartinez7530 Or what? What you gonna do from behind your keyboard?
About time. The whole case was ridiculous
The handlers of the gun props are responsible that there are no live rounds in a prop gun for a movie. Not the actor. I agree with this dismissal. A tragic preventable event that was NOT MR. BALDWIN'S FAULT.
he's not just actor but also the producer in charge of them
Im no fan of Alec Baldwin but this was a ridiculous clown show from the beginning. The armorer was the responsibpe party. The prosecutor intentionally stacking the deck shows just how weak the case was and should be fired and disbarred
Movie set or not....anyone handling a firearm at any time is responsible for what comes out of the barrel. The armorer definitely is culpable....but so is Baldwin. But considering the way the prosecution handled this the judge made the right decision.
@@blnunya6689 Oooohhh Gymnastics.
Like him or not shouldn’t stop someone from being fair and honest, frankly movies are made up so why in gods name are real bullets any where on the set?….This has happened a couple of times already and I find it absolutely reprehensible, insane and ridiculous that real bullets is on a set so that we have a repetition of this kind of senseless death.😢
I'm just glad he wasn't disarming a nuclear weapon in the scene.
Yeah, but AB claiming he didn’t pull the trigger was an insult to our intelligence!
Justice is served.
what about justice for the families victims lib. You think that they are not angry and want justice. Or maybe they can think like you, yay justice was served. No big deal we will see our loved one again in heaven one day. Way to go ALex. There is no justice here. Does not matter if intentional or not he killed someone. Like a stain on a dress. Does not matter if it fell accidentally or someone thur ink on it on purpose. It still happened
😢 that’s really a great judge, thank God for her.
I don't like Baldwin but what the prosecutors did here is a case study in their scant capability of feeling any shame.
Here comes the lawsuit against the D.A. and the Sheriff's department
As it should!
He might not, he might just be so grateful it's over. But they shouldn't go without something.
Sh is not the DA. She was a special prosecutor appointed. She works for a private law firm.
@@user-peach408 And who hired her?
And the sheriff that when along with hiding evidence? All should be jailed for 2 years and barred from their professions.
The prosecutor should face disbarment.
Why
He killed a person
@@brianmartinez7530 The prosecutor should face disbarment regardless of whether Baldwin committed a crime. The prosecutor withheld evidence. The prosecutor's actions are unethical and impair justice.
@brianmartinez7530 Irrelevant. The law must be followed. There was ZERO intent on Baldwin's part. What jackass brought live rounds onto the set, and who loaded them into the gun?
I agree. The injustice in our legal system these days is beyond shameful, it’s criminal.
It’s a terrible accident but Alec Baldwin was not responsible for the live round in the gun. He should never have been charged.
@@brianmartinez7530- Intent matters and all the suppressed evidence shows he had zero malice against a dear friend.
Keep it up; you’re gonna get the Justice you dish out!
I always thought it was wrong to try and blame or prosecute Mr. Baldwin. I'm glad this is over for him and his family, and some closure for the victims' family. RIP to the innocent victim, Ms. Hutchins and comfort to her family 💞💞
The usual double standard
CORRECT JUDGMENT. This man DID NOT intentionally kill that woman.
He wasn’t being charged with intentionally killing the woman. As I understand the case, he was charged with unintentional manslaughter.
It was involuntary manslaughter… and hes not going to spend one day in jail. American justice.
We all know it was an accident. The point is he ran an unsafe set that led to the accident and he should held accountable.
It's why I don't understand why he was ever charged. It made no sense.
She dead! He shot her! Any sane gun owner knows to double check a firearm when it is passed to you. Other actors, like Will Smith, and others, chastised Baldwin for not double checking the gun. At the very least, this is negligent homicide, or manslaughter. As far as I'm concerned, Baldwin is dead to me. Yes I'm a nobody, but a lot of nobodies, becomes somebody.
This case was open and shut. Did the prosecutor purposefully create reversible error!
Supreme Court judges needs to be removed and reeducated by this judge 👍👍👍👏👏👏
NOW!
here's already an impeachment going against Thomas.
The supreme court good. Just stop being a pervert. Better still close ur damn legs.
Those six judges don't belong on the bench at all.
Only the ones who are trying to destroy America and push their beliefs unto others
It's about dern time this man goes home and sleeps a much needed leave me the F alone rest!!! Congratulations Mr.Baldwin i knew all along.
Anyone else would have gotten in more trouble. The armorer is also more to blame, but that doesn't mean Alec is entirely blameless either. He knew better. It's not like the first time he held a gun in a movie. Plenty before him did that, and they didn't kill folks like he did.
This case should NEVER have gone this far.
Absolutely correct. They just wasted his time and his money. The whole thing was a waste of money. It was something he had no responsibility for.
And you can't even explain why... Too funny. 😂 He go so lucky that he's part of the elite... It was proven in the trial that he was absurdly reckless, after all.
Why because he white so he above the law? Wtf
Because killing a person is ok?
You must not know much about this case. Baldwin was negligent and shot those people. That was never in question. He got off on a technicality tied by speculation alone. No proof. Justice was not and never would be served in this case. He was always going to get off.
Alec Baldwin did not do this intentionally, he had no reason to do such a thing. It was an accident, and changes need to be made in the future to prevent these mistakes.
Absence of intention is why it's called involuntary manslaughter and not murder.
Ur defining manslaughter.
@@mojo9291 he didn't put the supposed-to-be fake bullets in the gun...the prop department did
Yeah, like maybe use fake guns? I mean, we are in 2024. They can send a probe to Mars, but they can't make fake guns.
People get prison time for accidents every day in this country.
Now leave him alone, the poor guy has been through hell.. Ridiculous
I DID NOT EVER SEE HIM DOING THIS ON PURPOSE ! 😊❤😊
Me either
