i thought based on the type of the revolver it was, and the design it had for firing, that what he was claiming wasn’t possible.

“Alec Baldwin has claimed he’s been exonerated over the death of a cinematographer he accidentally shot dead”

Exonerated?How was he exonerated? even if the gun discharged as a result of a faulty safety he he’s still at fault for not checking that the weapon was loaded with blanks and not live rounds.If he wasn’t assured that the weapon was safe he should not have pointed it at anyone never mind pull the trigger on someone.

he’s going to be in serious trouble legally and financially when this go’s to court.

Yep.. And he’ll get out of it. If he’s held accountable I’ll never know it.

But you know what? The chick he shot in the face was a commie.

So there’s that.

He has since claimed that he did not pull the trigger of the gun that fired, and that it went off by accident in his hand.

Even if that’s the case why did he point it at the woman in the first place, or even pull it out of the holster when there was no call for it, except just for messing around. You just don’t point a gun, loaded or not at anyone unless you intend to kill them. I have been around guns as well as shooting for at least half a century and always abided by these rules. I still think this guy is a certified jerk.

Always worth noting.

It’s not the case but you are quite right on all of your other points.

I was thinking maybe it was ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’.

Hey Alex: the person who squeezed the trigger, is the responsible party.

Baldwin said that the gun “went off by accident in his hand.” Oh, ok. Person was killed? No problem. Just a simple accident. Case dismissed. In other news, Baldwin is 100% responsible for the death of Ms. Hutchins and is guilty of murder.

The filthy murdering prick can not control his temper so he blames others for the evil he does. Stick a fork in that devil, he’s roasted.

Baldwin was one of the Producers, but not one of the Executive Producers responsible for managing the production. There clearly were major issues with the handling of firearms and ammunition, which were not primarily Baldwin’s responsibility.

However, Baldwin picked up a gun with checking it, pointed in at people for no apparent reason, and fired it (maybe somehow accidentally and probably thinking it was not loaded).

It is true other people screwed up, but that does not in anyway exonerate Baldwin for shooting and killing the Director of Cinematography.

I can’t think of a revolver- appropriate round that goes through someone and injures the person behind them.

Every account said he asked the pistol at the woman. This means she’s made out of paper or there were two shots.

Call me a conspiracy buff, but I think the whole thing didn’t go down as described and I think some Hollywood muscle has some people afraid to talk.

Because I know for a fact Hollywood has muscle.

Baldwin’s culpability as a producer depends on the details of what he and others did in that capacity, not simply on the title producer. My guess is that for purposes of civil liability, Baldwin will be on the hook as responsible in considerable part for the time and cost pressures that led to cutting corners in violation of industry rules and practices.

“accidental”...

Anyone wonder if she may have been pregnant (with his offspring)?

Just a thought.

Hes not the only one responsible

The armorer who cleared that gun as safe is at least as responsible as well.
