If I buy a drink and give it to a friend or whoever and that person falls stunned because someone put poison in it WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, then I AM NOT GUILTY!!!
How many Baldwins does it take to change a lightbulb?
Um it does not work that way. Not even close. 🤦🏼♀️@@wolke1955
I think it is beyond insane that there could be actual bullets on a movie set
I think it is insane that the punishment would be 18 months, and that if they had locked them all up from day one they would already have been free people, so this all seems a waste of money and time for everyone involved
I think it is madness that there is no clue yet who took the actual bullets to the set .. someone did that, and that shows intent to kill (why else bring actual bullets)
I think it is all so extremely sad for everyone involved
I think your reporter is saying her name wrong- it's halyna not Helena
His behavior throughout the incident, the interviews, and the case is, quite frankly, disgusting.
He didn’t do anything wrong. This incident is no different than what happened with Brandon Lee and The Crow back in 1993. No different at all.
What behavior?
He was traumatized!…As were everyone else on the set that day. Tragic accident!
@@lisasante254is he traumatized now while his lawyers argued that autopsy photos were prejudicial? I don't think so. He's a narcissist who up to a FEW WEEKS AGO was still completely disregarding safety protocols on a NEW movie set. We heard about it during motions a few days ago but its not coming into this trial. He was probably traumatized but he's still a narcissistic idiot who doesn't care about anyone's safety - he's guilty. If he had cared about human life, he wouldn't have pointed a gun directly at someone 3 FEET away.
Killer baldwin is mentally insane, nothing new here
The irony is this guy was a huge protester of the NRA. Yet, he creates a movie depicting guns/violence. Now maybe he can learn the hard way that it's not guns that kill. It's the people who handle the guns that kill.
Good point and - "exactly". 👍
Duh, Hollywood genius.
Considering that this gun was handled by a long string of experts, none of which had any intention to kill anyone, and yet it still did, I find it quite amusing just how completely opposite the truth of this situation is to the point you just tried to make.
The only human being you can reasonably blame for this is an incompetent ammunition supplier, who had so many degrees of separation from the set itself, that I strongly doubt he had ever even heard the name of the woman who died.
As it turns out, sometimes it IS the guns that kill people, and their mere presence can be dangerous even with an army of experts trying to ensure their safety.
Vinnie, it absolutely is not "all or nothing". This is a nuanced situation, and each of the individuals involved has a very different level of culpability.
and the judge is corrupt for removing his producer liability
@@removechan10298 no she's not producer responsibility is legal not criminal he's having to pay millions u would know this if u check before commenting
Well said. Baldwin has some responsibility, but not as much as the armorer or asst. director. They screwed him by providing a loaded gun, but he also made a huge mistake. I don't care if a Navy Seal tells me a gun is unloaded I'm not going to point at 3 people and pull the trigger. Very negligent.
@@NoName-ml5yk He did not point the gun at 3 people, he pointed the gun at the camera which he was supposed to do. those 3 people were behind the camera, which is a tricky situation. I am almost certain most actors have committed this so-called crime, the difference being this particular weapon had a live bullet.
@@godofallsuperpowers2136 The bullet did not go though the camera before hitting the 3 people.
The victim's family watching that scene with the gun doing many takes must be heart breaking
It was an accident, and we have a name for that in law - Manslaughter.
Manslaughter is the BARE MINIMUM anyone who isn't an actor would receive.
It doesn't matter if the gun was supposed to be empty. He shot two people, with his own hands. If he was driving a car and hit two people, it would STILL... be Manslaughter. Period.
Exactly. Any real man would have just pled guilty and did his time.
Matthew Broderick moment
U need to look up the law for actors everything u say is wrong...
@cyberspacegirl127 he didn't do anything wrong so why should he
@@Gabriel-hf1yy Everything I said is 100% factual, and 100% logical. Which is why I said it, because CLEARLY based on your reply it needed said :P
However, if it makes you feel any better inside, I hope the charges are dropped or jury sets him free.
Not because I'm a fan, I actually detest the man (for a multitude of valid reasons).
Rather I think it was a legitimate accident, and unless the family want's to press it, I don't see any value in jailing him.
If he was pointing a gun at himself, do you think he would’ve checked 1, 2 even 3 times I THINK SOO!!! 👀👀🙃🙃
Exactly..
I doubt it. He was always in a hurry. I think he relied on the people that had the job of being the armourer. He felt they had the professionalism, not him.
@@loribaker8339he was in a hurry because he’s a narcissist and only what he wants is important to him, and he wants to do that scene fast. If the scene called for a sui- cide shot, he would have quadruple checked that sht because living a more important to him than being fast 😂. This is exactly how narcs work. Total hypocrites.
@@Pr3ttyGiirlALWAYS If he had to point the gun at himself, i am pretty certain he would have asked for an extra safety check to be done in front of him?
He was in a hurry because he expected staff to be ready & the lighting needs to be the same
It’s not rocket science
The weapons inspector is at fault, not him
AB gonna walk.
I think so too, it’s too loose of a case.
Yep. Hannah already convicted. So… no point really to go after Alec.
If I buy a drink and give it to a friend or whoever and that person falls stunned because someone put poison in it WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, then I AM NOT GUILTY!!!
@@hellokeroppi5406 He was the shooter. People do more time 10 years for the same crime in other states. actors do not get to skate the rules of SAG + State laws. The utter ignorance of you people is astounding. 2+2 = what ever feel. He is guilty and its text book case. Stop with the "actors are different" that is non sense. read the laws read the SAG rules its all there yet you people ignore it. Did any of you graduate from even High School?
@@wolke1955 That has to be the most pathetic comparison I've read yet. Give your head a wobble. A gun that is capable of shooting a projectile is a potentially lethal weapon, a drink isn't.
He doesn’t look meek! He looks arrogant!
You missed one - Sarah Zachary literally threw away evidence and copped a plea deal with Dave Halls.
Yes
It was Sarah Zachary that threw items away. Sarah Ferguson is the Duchess of York.
@@sq1rlsqu4d that cracked me up. Sarah Ferguson my ass lol
Do you mean the woman who threw away Hannah's bag of magic powder? I would throw that away too I ain't carrying that for her.
@@sq1rlsqu4d obvious mind glitch, but you get my point. She threw away important evidence and copped a plea deal. I’m not buying it.
Baldwin said he’d “never point the gun at someone” while having his finger on the trigger. Guess the camera doesn’t lie!!
Yea from his own defense.. like bro didn’t you see his finger on the trigger??
It might look like it's on the trigger but nobody can say for sure not guilty
you couldn't even see where he was pointing in those outtakes
I will give him this. But he there is a video of him waving a prop gun around after a scene was over. That is negligence my friend. As soon as a scene is over it is the actor's responsibility to secure a weapon away from possible danger to others. So he might not knowingly point one at someone he is obviously negligent in the total proper handling of a weapon.
He didn't intend to do it. But he was careless. Involuntary manslaughter
His team was careless employing the silly child to take care of the weapons.
@@aussiemouth747But Baldwin was ultimately the one in charge
This is stupid. He shot the gun MANY times before on this same set. The people who were HIRED (the armourer and the assistant director) never once told him he’s responsible for a THIRD check. If he was breaking the rules, THEY should have immediately corrected him. That was their jobs!!!! If they asked him to do a third check, and he ignored, then they should have walked out because of an unsafe work environment. They had a moral obligation to do everything they can to keep it safe.
@@ArkadiaTube There was no reason to use the real gun for a rehearsal for the draw. He should know that.
@@aussiemouth747 which means they all are culpable
He hired the incompetent armor, he rushed the production, he ignored concerns, he directed staff while acting (messy production), and HE pulled the trigger. This woman is dying and he went to take a phone call right away. His words during the interview were also extremely self-focused. He’s a known ass, and now a killer. This is an avoidable accident and he is at least one person responsible.
@@hollyk7052 100% He showed complete disregard for due diligence, safety and reasonable care. He was reckless and careless. It caused the death. He needs to go to jail,as well.
Perfectly, neatly and accurately condensed statement.
Except the armorer was THE person hired to be responsible for handling firearms and the correct ammo needed for the scene. Hannah brought live ammo onto the set that should’ve never been there. The A.D. was responsible for safety, checked the replica and missed the live round. Past that point Baldwin was able to handle the firearm as needed for the scene. He should’ve been able to point the gun anywhere needed for the scene and pull the trigger needed for the scene. This isn’t a backyard, it’s a movie set. People are hired for one thing, Hanna was hired as the armorer. Movies are filmed all the time with scenes involving firearms. The traditional “treat every gun like it’s loaded” doesn’t apply in this case. Guns are pointed in every direction and triggers are pulled and no one is killed… because the armorer does their job. The defense’s opening statement is spot on.
The scene was rehearsed several times. The gun was supposed to be pointed in the direction it was, and the trigger was supposed to be pulled in that scene. If Hannah had done her job, this never would’ve happened. He would filmed the scene, pointing the gun as they rehearsed, and the movie would’ve been released without incident.
@@yourlifeisagreatstoryshe was given two jobs, so she was only part time. There are documents out there that show she was getting yelled at for spending to much time doing the work with the guns. She tried to do some sort of lawsuit or something. I don't think much came of it, other than maybe discovery.
Truth spoken . Safety 1 don't point a gun at people and pull a trigger. Guilty
Evidently it's acceptable for a defendant to sleep in court. Am I the only one who noticed?😴⚖️
Totally disrespectful to the court
@orianjuarez3074 can't u see he's not slept much by the look of him... why so judgmental
@@Gabriel-hf1yy You misunderstood my cynical comment. No judgement here. Simply making an observation about courtroom etiquette & behavior. Perhaps Mr. Baldwin could have remained awake for both opening statements. Do you know Mr. Baldwin? I presume you know him personally. As you have knowledge of his sleeping habits. Enjoy the remainder of the trial.⚖️😊
Were you okay with IMPOTUS sleeping through his?
He has 8 kids ... you would be sleeping entering the court.... he is not a young man any more look at Biden
your President

Are we missing the point that Helena and Joel weren’t even supposed to be in the church. They were there because the film crew walked off that day. This was the eye of the storm, after that it was all destruction
If I were the actor handling THE firearm,
I definitely would have checked for my own peace of mind .
But the fact is he's not allowed to check the gun only armorer and props person can..
PERIOD!
But he wasn't obliged to by customary practice or the guidelines, and certainly not by law - which is the crux of this case.
@sand-oh1sg he might have at times but it's not required of him to do so it's the armorer job
@@sand-oh1sgHe can't do that if there are blanks in the gun, he would shoot off the blanks.
The defense attorney’s opening was terrible. Bang poof?
That was so awful. A mother, a talented cinematographer is dead and we’re playing with childish words in an opening statement. Weird.
Maybe he was “dumbing it down” for the jury so they could understand the difference between a blank and a charge.
Everything he said was trying to minimize what happened. That long rambling tangent about the history of film and how people are supposed to suspend disbelief and believe in the "magic" of moviemaking was absurd. I'm glad he got cut off and was forced to move along.
@@NicoVellaFilmand he wasn't supposed to bring any of that up, either. It was one in the pretrial stipulations made and he knew full-well that he was breaking rules while rambling on about that stuff.
I am an airline pilot. for many reasons I have to rely on other people all the time to make sure the airplane I will be piloting is safe and airworthy and will get passengers safely to their destination. I am sure some people will disagree but as an actor, don't they have to rely on other people to make sure things are correct safe and ready for their intended use. Like guns? Isn't this why specialists are hired? It just doesn't make sense to me to think that on a movie set an actor would have to worry or even think any gun that would be handed to him or her would have a real bullet in it???? Where ever that bullet came from, whom ever brought it to the movie set, they are criminally responsible. Not Alec Baldwin.. That's my opinion.
This is a great point.. I feel the exact way.. he is an actor with experts on set for this reason.. hell he has an assistant on set to get him a bottle of water..
My views too!
Hi Sir/ma'am. My close friend was an Tech Sgt USAF aircraft mechanic with 16 years experience. In 1995 he was working on F15 flight controls. When reassembling he crisscrossed the flight control rods so that the flaps now operated backwards. During pre-flight the pilot SKIPPED doing a visual confirmation of flight control operation. The pilot had assumed that the mechanic had accomplished his job correctly. Immediately after take-off the pilot crashed for obvious reasons. The pilot did not survive. The USAF investigated and convened a court martial for my friend. The day the trial was to begin (also his wedding anniversary) my friend took his own life. Poor engineering aside, do you think the pilot contributed to his own death or was just my friend responsible?
I mean its tragic, but he ain't guilty. there was no negligence. someone else was suppose make sure those were blanks...
Baldwin sneered, smirked, and acted like an arrogant a$$ all day. He acted like an arrogant bully on the set. Hannah was too young g and inexperienced to stand up to Baldwin. Live ammunition should not have been allowed anywhere near the set. No target practice should have been happening anywhere near the set or at anytime during the making of a movie.
The Donald is old, not wise at all and too many people are dead because of him - yet he is still a free baby man 🤷
I agree with you, but I doubt Hannah would have given a thought to whether she should have stood up to Baldwin or not. Her attitude in court and in the following telephone calls tells us that the only person she ever cared about is herself. Disgusting, entitled brat.
It was hannah that brought the live rounds on set lol
When half the crew walked off because of previous live discharges and Alec was aware of live rounds on the set, the set should have been shut down and the dummies inspected to avoid another live discharge. This was all about money and Alec not wanting to hire a full time Armoror, or sit through safety training with the Armoror who he had running all overdoing odd tasks because half the people left due to safety concerns. David Halls is not an Armorer and he never should have accepted his handoff as a cold gun. The only dummy here is Alec and he should have to pay for taking someone's life.
There was no evidence of any alleged target practice, or we'd have heard about it by now.
Anyone who handles a gun is responsible for what happens. If you can't be handed a gun and then handle it safely, like doing safety checks, then you should not be allowed to handle a gun, simple. How is this an argument, is an adult responsible for their actions, yes, of course.
This is such a shortsighted take. It’s a different situation on a movie set where the expectations are that there will NEVER be a LIVE round on set. He shot the gun MANY times on the set and not one person said “stop. You have to test the gun first even though it was cleared by the armourer and assistant director.” The armourer and the assistant director had a legal responsibility to ensure compliance and yet never once told Baldwin that he had to perform a third check. And don’t tell me that they were scared for their jobs. It is their primary function and responsibility to ensure safety and they should do it even if the actor is a diva or absolutely walk off the set and stop the entire production from proceeding.
then filming rules must be changed and all actors must become gun handling and safety experts. Those rules were not in place during this time, so the actor Alec B is not guilty according to the standards at the moment.
@@ArkadiaTube It's wild that people think a guy that points a gun at someone, squeezes the trigger, and kills someone should have zero responsibility in it.
That’s ridiculous, his only job on the set was to act! Why have a set crew, prop people etc? That’s their jobs!
IF HE DIDN'T LOAD THE GUN WITH A LIVE ROUND AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE HAD A LIVE ROUND IN THE GUN. HE IS NOT GUILTY OF MURDER! THE PERSON WHO LOADED THE GUN WANTED SOMEONE DEAD AND THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED AT THE HANDS OF SOMEONE ELSE!!!
I believe the ammo supplier Seth Kenney introduced the live round on the set by accident. He was supplying the SAME live rounds to a different movie set (1883 - don't ask me why they need live rounds) a few weeks earlier. If you look at his ammo storage building he had boxes of rounds in the MEN'S RESTROOM! Totally disorganized and unsafe.
Seth wasn't the armorer, his drug added, hoarder daughter was. She brought the live ammo on set and is currently doing 18 months. The other guy involved accepted his guilt and took a plea deal.
Not an accident
@@user-hc9lp3hb1r I believe there is some validity to this claim! Although, I’m 50/50 as to whether it was inadvertently Hanna’s dad or Seth that is responsible, Seth seemed shady to me in his police interviews. I also find it disturbing, that allegedly Sarah who worked closely with Seth, threw away several rounds when she learned of the shooting. Those rounds were never recovered and both Seth and Sarah got immunity to testify, shady!
@@lindafarnes486 Incorrect - Seth Kenney is NOT related to Hannah Guitierrez Read. Also I NEVER said Seth was the armorer - I said he was the ammo supplier which he was.
@@wideawake6260 Why on earth would anyone want to introduce a live round onto a movie set on purpose?!?
Baldwin needs to lose that snarl on his face! For an actor who has the ability to disguise his real emotions, his “distaste” for this trial is obvious!
So true! I concur.
It makes him appear unkind and uncaring about the innocent loss of life that occurred at his hand.
But.....does he really care or is he worried about his own derriere?
Just saying.....
pamcollins1651-what I learned from The Behavioral Panel guys is that thumbnail snarl on his face is involuntary.Our body language is automatic.Fight or flight...it reveals what we are truly feeling without our CONTROL.chk out the 4 men who explain it all.I have learned so much from they taught me.The body language tell the truth!!!!
How should his face look?
I don't know if Baldwin will be found guilty, but i refuse to believe he didn't know sh!t about guns. He made The Getaway back in 1994 where he fired multiple weapons including handguns and pump shot guns. Its hard to believe Alec would be this careless.
I just subbed to you. Are you going to keep putting content out? I have my own channel as well.
Anyway, to your comment, I fully agree.
The man knew better and he was so arrogant as to think he was above the rules, swinging around a specially made real gun for this show, knowing it was loaded with something, putting his finger on the trigger and pulling it, while pointing the gun straight at a person! 😫🫣🤦🏼♀️☠️
I am absolutely sure he has had multiple mandatory safety meetings throughout his career about gun safety and operation.
@@LisaPFrampton Thank you for sub! Yes, I'm coming back. I just get burned out sometimes.
@@anntares172 He knew about guns not sure why he was so reckless? I know low budget shoots are tight, but damn just take a second to check.
@rmjmoviereviews6876 he didn't break any laws ..explain
There is not going to be any alpacas for Alec Baldwin like there was for Johnny Depps trial. Alec Baldwin is just so unlikeable.
Still don’t understand how judge threw out or won’t allow “executive producer” angle. Who’s responsible for timeline on the set? That’s determined by the budget. It’s important for jury to know how many people walked off set due to safety issues.
Stop trying to influence against baldwins cheap carelessness! He should be an example! He’s not just an actor. HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE
Am I the only one who felt he was behaving dismissively during the times the jury was coming & going? Everyone else faced the jury while each time he was leaned over the table looking at papers. I would be annoyed if I was a juror.
Maybe he doesn’t want to be seen staring them down like Amber heard. I certainly hope they wouldn’t take that into their deliberations no matter what he was thinking, or I wanted to share with his lawyer, about something that I just happened on the stand. I hope you would also not let that sway your decision about the case that has nothing to do with that.
@@rachmunshine9474that’s Alec acting out his shame Miller and Bradshaw
Should he blow kisses at them and offer autographs? What would you say then? You just don't like him because he made fun of trump on SNL.
@@SunFlower-sf1go Leave Trump out of this. Alec Baldwin made a mistake, others did too. It was a chain of mistakes like in an airplane crash. If he has to spend (a relatively short time) behind bars, that would be a fair sentence. You have to remember that a person died as a result of this chain of error. He should have checked the gun. That is negligent.
From overseas, that's 100% what I've been thinking and more...
Was the gun-Lady an MAGA or did she get money from an rich MAGA? 🤔🤔🤔
Why were they rehearsing with the actual weapon and not a placeholder until they say actuon??
If an actor cannot perform safely with guns, he/she should not take acting jobs that would require them to do so. Until actors take responsibility for their behavior with firearms more accidents are sure to happen.
What’s worse is he is a self-described g u n expert! But he just doesn’t give a sht about the safety of others.
💯 being a cocky, entitled actor doesn't make you immune to the rules EVERYONE on set is expected to follow. His whole defense is "I've been in this business 40 years and no one has ever asked me to check a gun before." - BS, I guarantee you they have, ESPECIALLY after 1994, if you get my reference.
@@NicoVellaFilmur wrong he can't check any gun only the armorer can surely u should know this
He can't check guns himself learn before commenting maybe
Its movies. No actors would ever see live rounds in a gun. There should never be any accidents as they use BLANKS. this is not the actors fault but i bet in future actors will check even though its nonsense they would have LIVE rounds as its make believe. Should they check if fake bombs are real, if fake glass bottles are real etc. they have employees to check this. this lies with them. the investigation should be where the hell did it come from.
We have a saying in the military, “EVERYONE is a safety officer.” Neither actual combat nor training with live ammo under combat situations (a situation with similarities to acting) is an exception. So I must roll my eyes at the defense suggestion that actors are not responsible for safety.
That is precisely why sets have firearm safety classes before filming. To demand that one armorer manage ALL firearm handling by multiple actors on a movie set and be responsible for THEIR actions it insane and stupid to put it kindly.
@@Stranger_Than_Fiction299especially when they had that same young (inexperienced, inexpensive nepo hire) also doing props half time and not full time as an armorer. It was a horrible, unsafe set up. I don’t believe that Alec Baldwin, an A lister celebrity, would ever have taken Hannah Gutierrez Reed seriously. He would not pay attention when she tried to get him through his gun safety training. I think they should have been willing to spend more on safety.
This is true in general, however on film sets, it isn't true. Armorers, prop masters, 1st AD (basically the people licensed to handle the weapons & rounds) are the ones allowed to do the safety checks on a film or television set. Because actors are by and large not trained or equipped, and certainly not licensed, to do the safety checks, the concern is that if actors were doing their own safety checks, the likelihood of on-set accidents happening would go up exponentially (especially considering a lot of the rounds are blanks, not just dummies). So the actual correct thing is for the armorer/AD to do the safety check *always* in front of the actor, with the actor looking. Shake all the rounds if they're dummies, etc-- the whole nine yards. And the actor should pay attention. And the armorer should be incredibly consistent and insistent. That is what is proper and expected.
I hear you and I don’t disagree. The issue here is that this isn’t the military and they specifically hired a woman to be responsible for g u n safety on set, plus her boss (Dave halls) who was the backup and was supposed to make sure she was doing her job properly. Both of them failed at that. I keep wavering with AB because his title as producer isn’t allowed in since it wasn’t a real position and also because it had nothing to do with ensuring g u n safety. So this is gunna come down to how things work in Hollywood and not necessarily in the real world. I want to see him go to prison. But I’m also biased bc he’s a dik.
@@caity613 Finally someone sees the big picture! It baffles me when they think Alec is responsible. He was on set doing his job as an actor, they are not legally trained to do safety checks! Therefore, he is a producer, which technically ties him responsible of hiring the wrong people.
31:14 I like how discussions in US tv are just people shouting at each other in steadily increasing volume... :v
this is so sad for everyone. the actor guy, surely no way he was deliberatley shooting a person on a movie set if he knew it was a live gun? whats his possible motive to shoot her? this so sad, its the poor woman and her family i feel so sad for.
Yes it's a terrible, sad, unnecessary tragedy that never should have happened.
The actor Alec Baldwin is a very arrogant and cocky.
He had this pistol specially made for this movie and it's a real gun, not a prop!
He didn't check the ammo before using it, he shouldn't have pointed it at Helena, he shouldn't have cocked the hammer all the way back, he shouldn't have put his finger on the trigger and he shouldn't have pulled the trigger!
He did everything wrong and wants a very young lady to take the entire fall for it when he's just as culpable as she is.
Btw watch Emily D. Baker live during this court. She explains everything so very, very well!! 🇺🇲🏴🇬🇧
@@LisaPFrampton wow didnt know he had the gun made especially for it... il sit down and watch the trial properly, its amazing you guys in america have them televised, in ireland its banned ffs!!
Motive the lady who was shot was working on a documentary exposing Hollywood pedophiles so there’s that to chew on
The prosecution SCREAMING out objections and rolling their eyes is freakin annoying
It’s so stupid that people keep talking about him ignoring gun safety. He’s a freaking actor on a movie set. “Never point a gun at someone you’re not willing to shoot.” It’s just dumb to say that about an actor. He didn’t know he was pointing a loaded gun at someone. He simply didn’t know because he was told by the professional that was there to make sure that gun was safe, that it WAS safe. He had no reason to doubt that. Actors pretend to do stuff we’d never do in the real world. This isn’t the same thing as grabbing a gun out of your gun safe and forgetting that it’s loaded. He was told it was checked. By a professional.
@@trickortrump3292 Thank you! These comments are killing me! Hundreds of film sets have used real guns, and that is why an armorer exists. The AD is the double check, the end! Actors aren’t obligated to triple check, they are welcome to, but aren’t obligated. Even if he pulled the trigger, it was 2 other people’s job, responsibility and obligation to ensure there weren’t live rounds in the gun.
thank you
Agree 100%. Any discussion about his facial expressions are ridiculous and irrelevant . HE was ACTING.
@DDropp. It's killing you that people actually have a different opinion? Oh really? Like you're opinion is the only one that matters?
Puhleeeaaase... 🙄
@@purplewillows1230 That’s a really bizarre take on that comment.
Why did he point the gun at her and pull the trigger, even if he thought that it was loaded with blanks?
If convicted on voluntary manslaughter Alex could get up to 18 months! WTF? If guilty, he should get longer!
The last person to touch the weapon definitely had the responsibility to check that weapon prior to working with it.
And to not point it at people. Quilty.
@@NoName-ml5ykeven though the director told him to repeatedly and he was following her directions?
So if the 10 year old in the movie was the one holding the gun, he should check it?
On a film set, the armorer and actor together, are supposed to inspect the gun, before filming. They're equally responsible.
@@SunFlower-sf1goSmart question 👌
Vinnie doesn’t think people should be prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter? Really? 🤦🏼
It was UNINTENTIONAL you see.....
@Treviso100 it was a accident if he broke a law yes but he didn't break any law..
Of course he shouldn't be ! Are you kidding me ! Dude your the definition of Monday morning quarterback. You don't make movies your not a actor you don't know what your taking about so stop acting like you do . Dude he hiiiiiired someone to literally make sure that gun was safe that was there joooob!! I'll say that again, there job was to make sure that gun was safe ! Turn the second guy yelled out that the gun was checked and safe ! Wtf else do you want Alec to do ! This is so ridiculous.

Exactly, he was ACTING as a western outlaw. he would be a stupid outlaw if he didn't have the trigger finger on when 2 sheriffs are pointing their guns at him.
Dave Halls' conviction was way too light in comparison to what happened. NO! Alec should not be held accountable
What was his punishment? I never heard..
I really believe that Alex Baldwin's legal team ,forced him to wear big ,goofy glasses like that .because the fact of the matter is .Alec Baldwin contorts his face into expressions of sheer hatred and contempt ...for everybody...in that courtroom..so to counter that ..the legal team tries to hide all that anger with the goofy glasses Alec Baldwin is wearing
Bingo!
And, maybe, big frames to cover the indications of the work he's had done on his face and neck?
He's worn those glasses for ages. gmafb...
I believe this is his norm. Actors gain weight, grow facial hair, grow hair out, color hair to prepare for upcoming filming. 😮
The director never instructed to pull the trigger. This was a blocking rehearsal. Baldwin did not follow the director’s instructions that were to do exactly as before lunch: take the gun out and point it towards the camera… Baldwin took it on him to include the actual pulling of the trigger. Recklessness at its best!
So, you were there ?
@@lesleyhughes3174MAGA are everywhere those days 🤯
Nonsense
PArtially right. Negligence too.
If the OP is true, then they might have a case.
Nothing in the script called for him to point Gun at her.
As an actor, Baldwin failed his screen test for the role of responsible person in possession of a real fire arm.
Agreed. ALL should be held responsible.
Defense had a good opening. I thought he made some good points….
@@amberalexander2741 I think he did well with what he had to work with but at times was nauseatingly hyperbolic. 🤮
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. While doing the best he can he has nothing to go on. Hammering the ex-police officer about why he called it an accident? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA. He's good with the flimsy subject matter but he is NOT going to get Baldwin off.
Had Mr. Baldwin been doing a suicide scene, you bet he would have checked that gun!! He should have extended that same courtesy to Halyna and the director. He thinks he’s above everyone. Jerk.
If the person holding the gun has no responsibility for pointing the gun and pulling the trigger then no one should go to jail for this. Hannah had three jobs instead of the job she was hired for and a Boss who took orders from no one.
Alec should show sadness, remorse, humility....not playing angry victim...
Alec is so arrogant it makes me sick. Ugh.
What about when Baldwin appeared to be drifting off to sleep and openly yawning?
He has a demanding wife and seven kids. Most likely sleep deprived. He would get more rest in prison.
who cares? Mabey he is tired
And multiple maids to handle the kids and day to day activities. He’s nothing but a slob, do you remember how he treated his own flesh and blood, namely his daughter???
Did anyone think it was weird how Alec kept saying "are u ready ok you ready u want me to do it u ready" lol seemed a little sexual to me
@@SuperDave-vj9enwhat did he do?
It’s also that he pointed it at a person….which seems to be missed in the arguments.
The problem is that he denied pulling the trigger. He said the gun went off, and the tests confirmed that imposible.
Why was Alec Baldwin pointing a gun (acting or not) at Helena Hutchens who wasn't acting?
@@lonestarbellepk exactly 💯 👏
Inadvertently in the moment while he was in character.
He claims she told him to do it, but c’mon use your common sense..
I think he was aiming it towards to camera for the film shot. But why pull the trigger at the camera & director? What damage would a fake bullet have caused?
because film making process.... smh
I feel like he should've checked the gun or guns himself. Just to make sure they worked properly and were safe.
They worked properly
yeah he kinda got the best confirmation possible as far as the gun working properly is concerned...
@@Dragonhart212 thats not his responsibility
@@annaalexandrah It is if he is handling the weapon and firing it at someone. He would have checked it first had he have to point it at his own head.
Vinnie, I agree with you. If they want to start charging actors for murder while on set then Hollywood would need to update the SAG-AFTRA contract where actors are liable on checking for gun safety on all measures no matter how much experience or lack of experience they may have! Actors are not trained, equipped or licensed to check for gun safety on set while filming. It is the production's responsibility to educate and train actors on set. It doesn't matter how much experience Alec may have...if people want to disagree with me then they should go knock on SAG-AFTRA and have them update the contracts! Bruce Lee was killed by a gun on the set of The Crow and no one was charged for Bruce's death. I understand that people may not like Alec, but that does not mean that he should be found guilty for manslaughter. It is indeed correct that he has years of experience, but that problem is that he probably never even thought in a million years that this kind of situation would ever happen to him. I understand some of the professionals stated that you should always check the gun before firing, but this rule only applies for those who handle guns professionally outside of filming on set! Again, SAG would need to update the contract and actors are not liable to check for gun safety, because they are not licensed to check for this. On another note a lot of people don't realize how much work it is to be an actor filming hours in a day, even in very uncomfortable weather, clothing and scenes you would need to be involved in. As an actor all you think about is performing your best. Memorizing pages full of lines, saying the words correctly and main focus is not to over act! It takes skill, focus and training to be able to act. When Alec was on set his focus was to perform. Again...I would like to see the SAG-AFRA contract where it states that actors under the non-union and union contract that they are liable for checking gun/weapon safety on set with any level of experience!
If that scene was suicide by gunshot, I think AB would have triple checked that gun before pointing it on his head.
The person in charge of the guns and the person who brought the live round on set are the guilty party. It was an accident on ABs part. Its not about making an exemption for actors. Thats a lame argument Vinnie. There is no protocol for the actor to check before as thats why there are prop experts.
He didn’t go to the safety meetings and there’s a ton of footage of him being very reckless on set. Those two things alone might do him in. And he was the boss so if he doesn’t wanna go to a safety meeting, who is going to make him?
It was an terrible sad accident for AB and the poor woman who past away. 😥
I guess for all MAGA'S Alec is so called guilty because Alec acted the orange LIAR perfectly.
There is when it's a real gun. You know, those things that you scream about when there's a shooting and attempt to take away from lawful owners? Maybe you should educate yourself on the safety measures one must take when using one.
@@kateashby3066he still done nothing wrong
@@YUMLiberalTearsdifferent for actors he can't check the gun himself
As someone with family members who work in film set safety, Baldwin is absolutely 100% equally responsible to Gutierrez. Baldwin's attorney saying that actors are "never expected" to double check guns is completely incorrect, and a bold-faced lie. The general public who don't work in film will accept that at face value, but it's completely untrue. Actors are shown the weapon, asked to open and check the barrel themselves after the armorer does it for them once, and are even allowed the opportunity to check it TWICE if they still feel unsafe. It's clear to me that Baldwin was just being a cavalier "method actor" and taking things too far, even during rehearsals. His behavior (pulling the trigger during rehearsals, rushing the production along, cutting corners) is absolutely responsible for what happened. That, mixed with an inexperienced nepo baby of an armorer created the perfect storm.
💯💯💯
I always thought these charges to be ridiculous until I read your comment 😳
@@NicoVellaFilm I have worked on only a few film sets, but also have many friends who work in film, and the claim that it is not an expectation of an actor to TRIPLE check the gun is true. The armorer is the first check and the AD is the double check. The actor is welcome to be the third check if they desire, but it is not a rule, requirement or expectation. The set was a disorganized mess, however since Baldwin is being charged as an actor, he has no legal culpability. If he is told the gun is cold, he should be able to trust that info. If his behavior on set was unsafe, it is the job of the armorer and AD to check him, that is why they are employed, to ensure safety on set.
If Alex checked the rounds in that gun, would he know the difference between one live bullet and the rest of the blanks?
@@robbinjuliano9014 Not necessarily
The question is should AB have checked the gun himself? If the script called for him to hold the gun to his head would AB have checked the gun?
NEVER liked him, NEVER will!!!!
Seriously he’s acting right now and because of that he’s supposed to be found not guilty. Come on man you guys are pros. Let’s listen to the evidence.
The evidence is that Baldwin pointed a real gun at 3 people and pulled the trigger. There was zero reason for him to that. Either use a fake gun or don't point it at people. Gun safety 101 doesn't care if your name is Alec Balwin.
WHO SAID TO DO THE SCENE AGAIN - without the recording?
George Clooney says he ALWAYS checks every gun in every film he makes, before he uses it in any scene.
He’s not just the actor. He was producing the film as well. Big difference.
What gets me, rubs me 10000% wrong, IS BALDWIN'S constant 'DISMISSIVE SMIRK ' when hes not acting he's intently writing!! DISMISSIVE SMIRK which comes across HOW DARE YOU CHARGE ME!!
Not only him, his brother has an upside down face as well PERMANENTLY ☹️ Cant see how any of them’s faces are meant for tv maybe radio 😂
I think he is p*ssed off but then again if you'd gone through it all and the civil cases and been told there is no criminal case, then they go after you again, and you're traumatised from the death of that lady, I'd be fkg p*ssed as well
Spicy conversation! I honestly think his producer role makes him more responsible then the actor role - although he did seem jaded to safety protocol so that seems like his responsibility as well. All around it’s a terrifying scenario for everyone and nobody would imagine or want this to happen.
"Things are different on movie sets" is NOT an excuse for your recklessness causing someones death. Yet again the eliteism and arrogance of Hollywood shines!
Alec Baldwin trying the elderly Cary Grant look
My prediction and 85 percent of the internet = Guilty and jailed. He should be in leg irons now. It looks like he is ready to jump and run by the looks of his scowl in court. A flight risk? Maybe.
What a ridiculous comment
A veteran armoror with years and years of experience with weapons/props on set was to be hired but after arriving on set saw multiple red flags as it being a loose set, carelessness, concerns about safety protocol. He told Alec he would need a crew of about 6 or 7 to ready the period weapons which would take approximately 2 months. Alec told him no, he could have 1 person. Alec cut corners and instead hired the most inept and inexperienced girl for the job. He also didn't bother to check the weapon like most actors do as a habit, Steve McQueen being one of them. He didn't trust anyone but himself. The responsibility ultimately falls on him as EP and his actions when pulling that trigger. Never happened on an Eastwood set nor would it.
Why do reporters keep emphasizing 'chaotic scenes' to explain the aftermath..I'm pretty sure chaos is the norm for ANY unexpected shooting?
Alec wont be found guilty.. i know its a terrible tragedy.. lets just pray and hope for closure...
Alec was directed to shoot the gun. It is not the actors fault. It isn’t his job to check the firearm.
Yes! All these haters will just hate!
Apparently you haven’t even listened, have you? He was directed to just slowly take it out of the holster, not fire it! Ffs I’m glad you’re not on a jury! He took it upon HIMSELF to fire it; and without checking it! Day one and you’re already lost! 🤦🏼♀️
I disagree. If Alec Baldwin is merely an actor playing a role in this film, he relies on the people who's job it is to check these props. In this case, the armourist and assistant to the director. If it is not stipulated in Alec Baldwin's contract of employment or part of his job description how could he possibly be held responsible..
How ironic that you spend your existence claiming that lawful gun owners should lose their gun rights when someone commits a crime, yet here you are defending someone who defied all of the basic safety procedures when using his. Real gun, real consequences.
It is a part of every actor's job.
He wasn’t supposed to pull the trigger! You never point a weapon at two people and pull the trigger! And she’d still be alive if he hadn’t pulled the trigger!

Baldwin was more than just an actor he was also the Producer and fully responsible for this mess.
For heavens sake there were 2 people employed whose role it was to ensure there was safety on set. Have people lost their minds? How on earth you can blame the actor for firing a gun?? This is insane, Ban all Guns from sets but don't hang out Mr Baldwin OVER THIS!!!
AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS INSANE.
Totally!
exactly!!!!
@@lozhiggo828 If a drunk driver were to kill your child, would the appropriate response be to ban all vehicles and blame the Department of Transportation?
I bet you feel the same way about the Crumbley parents both in prison too, right? They didn’t walk in a school and do what their kid did, but they went to prison FOR NOT FOLLOWING FIREARM SAFETY, and keeping the firearm locked. So, I’m sure you’re outraged they are in prison right? Baldwin had it in his hand, he should have checked! And the scene didn’t even call for firing in the first place! He decided to do that!
not guilty he said even if he looked he doesn't know the difference between a blank vs real bullets. How did the live round get there in the first place.....earlier there was another incident that the gun miss fired.
HE POINTED IT AT HUTCHINS AND THEN PULLED THE TRIGGER.

Isnt there a law on set to not point the gun at anyone because of what happened on The Crow? Even if he pulled the trigger, which he did... it shouldn t have been pointed at 2 people
Why does the defense attorney keep saying "homicide" (which is almost always associated with "M")? Isnt the charge involuntary manslaughter? Pretty sure that's not just a slip of the tongue. Sneaky, sneaky.

Not even close to true.

Dont think he should havd been charged by the way.
I still think the coked out armorer should have gotten more time.
He clearly shot her, if you seen him on a police body cam after the shooting he was a SMUG AND ARROGANT idiot , he had NO REMORSE FOR SHOOTING HER , he never did what the police told him to do , GO TO HIS CAR HE SAID NO!! Told him not to talk to anyone , he talked to everyone , HE SO THOUGHT HE WAS ABOVE THE LAW
18 months ? It should be 18 years to life
We have an Armorer on movie sets just for this reason! She failed. The person responsible, is in jail.
LIAR LIAR LIAR!! THIS WASN'T ACCIDENTAL IT WAS NEGLIGENT (IF NOT DELIBERATE!!)
"Alec thought that because he'd had a vasectomy he could only shoot blanks"

Like him or dislike him he is not responsible on this set already knowing past evidence and the last three days!
Alex was responsible for acting and that were his actions period
So actors are above the law. Got it.
Definitely not coming back here for more of this type of coverage!
He should not have been charged. The only reason he was is because some special prosecutor wants to make some name for herself. No actor should be responsible for checking a prop gun! There was a child actor who used prop guns on this set. Should he have checked that gun? The person responsible is in jail.
It WASN'T a prop gun. Sorry that the facts are inconvenient to you.
@YUMLiberalTears it's got to be a prop gun as it is used in a movie even if the gun is real.
Not his job , even if he's a narcissist that is why they hire an Armor. Seth Kenney and others should be charged as well.
@@nycxtileit wasn't a prop gun. Alec had this one specially made wanting the largest pistol he could get.

He cocked it fully back.
He put his finger on the trigger.
He pulled the trigger.
He's fully culpable.
@@nycxtile What does this even mean? It was an actual revolver. Calling it a "prop" doesn't take away from the fact that it was a legitimate firearm, or else how could the bullet have fired in the first place? Think.

I don't mean mistakes haven't happened in the past, sadly. But safety principles are learned the hard way, or the simple way, like every important lesson in life.
6 people walked off the lot that morning citing safety concerns.

Costume designer should be in jail. Baldwins costume could have come from Oxfam 🤪😅
It's funny that after Hannah Gutierrez was found guilty the judge looked right at her and said... you and you alone turned a safe weapon into a deadly weapon. When he was handed the gun by the assistant producer he was told it was cold. That means it's empty or is loaded with non-functioning dummy rounds. That weapon should have been no more dangerous than a paperweight! In every action movie you've ever seen the actor points the gun at the camera, pretends to shoot the bad guys. Normal safe gun handling has never applied to movie sets. The armorers ensure the guns are safe and harmless..... period!
problem was he should not even have had the gun. It was a blocking (where people to stand sit walk) rehersal.
@@Friendofstfrank and how was any of that relevant considering he was handed the gun by the assistant producer who assured him it was cold. That gun should have been no more dangerous than a paperweight.

The thick glasses to make him appear docile…not quite his usual hotheaded self.
Incorrect. Thick black rims are the eyeglass wear of narcissists who want to be seen and make a bold statement. You’re the second person to parrot this silliness without bothering to think about it first. In fact, John List, a malignant narcissist who killed his entire family was found 28 years later after going on the run because the FBI did a profile on his personality and concluded he probably wore big, dark-rimmed glasses that made a strong statement. Sure enough… and they found him wearing exactly that (google his name and look at his picture). There’s absolutely nothing docile or meek about AB’s eyewear choice. If he wanted that he would have chosen wire rims.
Remember the way he treated his daughter???
Can someone straighten Alec Baldwin up... He's leaning over
