he's going to try & manipulate information to reconcile with his interests. the guy looks desperate as can be. last nite i watched an older documentary when the story first broke, an episode of 20/20, called the deadly shot, or something like that. to date, i think it's got some very good coverage & insights from some of the film crew. alec knows he's in some bigtime trouble

I think they're all at fault to some degree or other, and each one is trying to cover his or her own rear.

Bottom line here is, loaded or unloaded, You NEVER point a gun at someone and pull the trigger, unless you are staging a film. The person he shot dead was not an actor, he had no business pointing a gun at a stage crew member, therefore his is complicit in this tragedy.

Lots of new info from the Cops in this article.

Including this:

Even if Baldwin was handed a loaded gun, industry insiders say that doesn't absolve him of responsibility. Hollywood actors' union guidelines specify no one should pick up a gun without checking it themselves and should never aim it directly at anyone.

--

The union guidelines that Baldwin ignored mirror basic gun safety rules. Which as a gun owner himself, Baldwin knew.

Does anyone think that if the scene called for him to cock the gun and put it to his own head that he wouldn't have checked himself to make sure it wasn't loaded? Of course he would have, with his own life on the line. But he didn't when it was just someone else's life.

Prosecutors await forensics in Alec Baldwin shooting
Weapon analysis, cellphone data and more still outstanding
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA FE — The investigation into the fatal film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin is ongoing, and the New Mexico prosecutor overseeing the case says authorities are awaiting the analysis of key forensic evidence before a decision can be made about whether criminal charges will be filed.
First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies provided the update in a social media post Wednesday, saying her office has received only portions of the investigation from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.
Still outstanding is forensic analysis of the weapon, a review of data from Baldwin’s cellphone and more from the FBI and state medical examiners.
The screening process by prosecutors will begin once sheriff’s investigators receive the information and complete their supplemental reports. To expedite the process, Carmack-Altwies has retained a special prosecutor — retired 9th Judicial District Attorney Andrea Reeb from eastern New Mexico, who has more than two decades of experience.
“To remain transparent to the local and national community, the (district attorney’s office) will proactively disseminate information as it becomes available,” Carmack-Altwies said.
A live round of ammunition killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza during rehearsal on Oct. 21, 2021. Filming for the Western “Rust” took place at a ranch on the outskirts of the city of Santa Fe.
In records released so far, investigators described complacency, disorganization and neglected safety measures in the making of the low-budget movie.
The videos released by investigators show a debriefing with Baldwin hours after the fatal shooting and rehearsal clips that show Baldwin in costume as

he practiced a quick-draw maneuver with a gun.
Baldwin had told investigators that as the gun went off, he was unaware initially that Hutchins would die and was shocked to learn that he had been holding a gun loaded with live ammunition. Baldwin, who also was a producer on the film, had said the gun should have been empty for a rehearsal with no filming.
In April, New Mexico’s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau delivered a scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard industry protocols. It included testimony that production managers took limited or no action to address two previous misfires on the set, complaints from crew members that went unheeded, and reports that weapons specialists were not allowed to make decisions about additional safety training.
Rust Movie Productions is disputing the findings and the sanction.
