Alec Baldwin Trial Over ‘Rust’ Movie Shooting Begins
Alec Baldwin is on trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for his role in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust.”
Reporer: “Mr. Baldwin, are you feeling confident in your arguments today?” “We’re getting these guys treated, we’re securing the scene and then we’ll get with you guys in a sec. It’s their safety, they’re a medical priority first.” “You will see him using this gun as a pointer to point at people, to point at things. You will see him cock the hammer when he’s not supposed to cock the hammer. You will see him put his finger on the trigger when his finger is not supposed to be on the trigger. You will hear about numerous breaches of firearm safety. He pointed the gun at another human being, cocked the hammer and pulled that trigger, in reckless disregard for Ms. Hutchins’ safety.” “Those witnesses, some of them will come in here and testify, and not a single one of them will tell you anything different than what I’m about to tell you. The gun was double-checked, verified it was a cold gun, not an actor’s responsibility to check. Safety was ensured before. Alec was doing his practicing his rehearsing, his movements. People manipulate and point guns on movie sets, the gun went off during the rehearsal. No one saw him intentionally pull the trigger. It was obviously a tragic accident, but Alec committed no homicide. Alec took the gun from those charged with its safety. He did not tamper with it. He did not load it himself. He did not leave it unattended.”
