He has still killed fewer people than Ghengis Khan, but I'm not sure what either statement has to do with anything at all...

Dick Montage Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 My take (for what it's worth, knowing enough about firearms to know how to disassemble, clean, reassemble and RESPECT them and only word of mouth about AB) is that his interview did not do him any good whatsoever. +E.Worm Jimmy, dead.cell and DocM 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is acting childishly if he really think that people will not check the gun and if not completely broken will not know that he straight up lied about not touching the trigger.

I think his quote about what the son said to him, come on - I'm calling BS on that. And it's these silly lies, these stupid comments about "not knowing". I genuinely don't think he acted with malice, or even WILLFUL ignorance - but when you tell such lies that people question them, they will also question everything else!

DocM Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Refusing cross-draw (opposite hand draw) training when you're going to be performing a cross-draw is just ridiculous. And most of the discovery/testimony from the civil lawsuits should be usable in criminal court. https://www.insider.com/alec-baldwin-ignored-rust-armorer-firearms-training-request-lawsuit-alleges-2022-1?amp Quote Alec Baldwin ignored 'Rust' armorer's request to attend 'cross draw training' just days before the shooting, lawsuit says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) FBI weighs in, disagrees with Baldwin's account. https://deadline.com/2022/08/rust-gun-could-not-fire-without-trigger-pull-fbi-report-1235091716/ Quote The FBI’s accidental discharge testing determined that .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver needed a trigger pull to fire. With the hammer in the quarter- and half-###### [🤪] positions, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger,” the report stated. > The report, first carried by ABC-TV, contradicts what Baldwin claimed in a December interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Baldwin said then he didn’t pull the trigger on the gun. > shockz 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also why the armourer is being charged too as she was responsible for the prop gun. That's how I read it on the BBC, not because they were by association. Halyna Hutchins died by both their hands and Baldwin is still pleading ignorance even after many examples of on set prop gun safety were also ignored by Baldwin. He was irresponsible and shouldn't be pleading the innocent, it's disrespectful to the victim, her family and loved ones. snowy owl and DocM 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly, it's step one towards negotiating a plea bargain for a lesser charge/sentence. Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a time when you just have to admit your wrong doing, even if accidental, and accept the consequences. I could see things going the opposite way due to it. judge/jury could take it as no remorse for his actions and punish more just for that alone. There's too much evidence.

I'd take it that way, largely because he has a well-earned and documented rep for arrogant & self-righteous behavior. The purpose of the plea bargain is to keep it out of a jury's hands in such cases, but in many US states judges can refuse to accept a plea bargain and send it to trial. Oops.
