"No, no, no, no, I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger. Never."
However, the FBI conducted an accidental discharge test and determined the gun used in the fatal shooting of Hutchins "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger," ABC News reported.
During the legal back-and-forth, new footage — obtained by NBC News — emerged showing Baldwin firing a prop gun on the film set.
Baldwin can be heard telling crew members to move out of the path of the gun in the video, obtained and published Nov. 16 by NBC News. The footage was reportedly taken some time before Hutchins was fatally shot Oct. 21, 2021.
"Now wait a second. I'm going to shoot right," Baldwin said. "Do you mind going to the other side of the camera? I don't want to shoot toward you."

This looks like a slam dunk for the defense.

And Alec Baldwin is not someone I e-mailed nor Facebooked or otherwise contacted (regular mail) with my efforts to find support for my very long term interactions with victim/witness assistance providers to spark an ongoing dialog with libraries about the availability of practical materials for this group of users. So I do not have a bias toward or against him.
