R.I.P. Scout26
The NM Supreme Court ruled in that decision, in relevant part that:It could have made no difference to the trial of a charge of involuntary manslaughter as to who loaded the gun … . All that it is necessary to establish for involuntary manslaughter by the use of a loaded firearm is that a defendant had in his hands a gun which at some time had been loaded and that he handled it … without due caution and circumspection and that death resulted.
I hope this movie bombs and Baldwin take a major financial hit over it. It's not justice; and I don't fault him for the actual discharge. I fault him as producer for the lax set safety standards prior to rehearsal or filming.Anyone who thinks COVID is more dangerous than functional firearms on a movie set, and kicks the armorer off set as a means to reduce headcounts and transmission vectors, is a gorram moron.
A whole lot of movies have been tanking recently, so it probably will, too. We may never know if it's because Alec Baldwin is a monster, or if it was just the overall decline of Hollywood.
Alec Baldwin to Star in Movie About 1970 Kent State Shootinghttps://people.com/movies/alec-baldwin-star-in-movie-about-1970-kent-state-shooting/ I can only assume they knew this would bring publicity and felt they needed all they could get.
Interesting way to add a realistic touch to a Kent state film.
Have people actually shot?
The armorer girl is not off the hook yet. She's going to take the fall for the whole thing. (I think I've predicted that before)
The weapons supervisor on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer was drinking and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the filming of “Rust,” prosecutors are accusing, saying she was likely hungover when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver that the actor used.
They are from LA, I'd wager everyone on that set, or at least the vast majority, were ingesting some kind of chemical after work.
"Hungover" as an excuse for not knowing live ammo is laughable.
We damn sure know who pulled the trigger. That used to be the standard for "shot someone".
But Baldwin said he didn't pull the trigger. The gun just "went off."
Has anyone heard grumbling from the Left/BLM types about this wealthy white man being (apparently) excused for shooting a woman? I have not.Then again, I don't travel in those circles, but those people are usually pretty loud, so...
New Mexico prosecutors say they will file new charges against Alec Baldwin if further testing shows that his gun was working at the time of the “Rust” shooting.
The FBI analyzed the gun last year, and broke it during a test firing. In a recent court filing, Morrissey and Lewis said that the gun has been sent to an independent expert for further testing.
They should have then asked "was your finger inside the trigger guard?" and "did you pull back the hammer?" SAAs usually have such light triggers he might not have meant to fire and has convinced himself he didn't.
