Props don't normally fire live rounds.  HTH.

You’re deliberately ignoring the fact that it was being used as a movie prop and was given to him to use as such.  He’d never have any reason to think it would have live rounds.  This is all preposterous.

There are guns used in movies called Prop Guns - incapable of firing ammunition.

There are real guns used in movies which can be either unloaded, loaded with blanks, or loaded with live ammunition.

The gun involved in the Alec Baldwin case was Not a prop gun by the definition of a prop gun.

What I’ve read is that most “prop” guns are real guns for the purpose of authenticity.  The point is, if an actor is handed a gun to use while filming a scene, he’d have no reason to believe it had live rounds because it is only for prop purposes.

You make good points.

Would you take that chance? I wouldn't. Plus, it's rule to not point it at anyone. He didn't follow that either.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,047]

He had live round on his belt too. He could have got away with the perfect crime.

Things I've stated multiple times, you are wasting your breath. 

This case has turned political and hence the reason for the charge, IMO. This trial will end with a not guilty verdict against Baldwin. The armorer probably will be found guilty though, as should the asst. director who inspected the gun, but cut a deal.

Where else in America can you shoot someone and blame it on someone else for not inspecting the gun properly and making sure there were no live rounds in it?

The duty is upon the person holding and firing the gun to ensure it is not loaded with live rounds.  That is the DE-FACTO rule #1 when dealing with firearms.  It is NOT a suggestion or a guideline.  It is literally a rule.  Always assume it is loaded unless you, yourself have visually inspected it.

I don't understand why you're having such a hard time with this.  Any other Joe Blow would have been charged.

If it was a war movie, and the prop guy handed him a grenade that he is to throw at the enemy and he does it and it was live, would you charge the actor or prop master for not doing there job. No, you would charge the person who gave them a live grenade.  It was not his job to be an expert in weapons, it was not his job to inspect the gun(most sets, they are told not to mess with the guns ever). They can request to be shown that there are no lives round in the gun, but prop or safety person is the one that is supposed to do that for the actor.  IF they have ben told that has in fact happened(as he was assured that it was done twice on his set), they are not under any obligation to triple check that---nor would he have the knowledge to know the difference between live and dummy rounds that were loaded into the gun for realism(this was supposed to be shot facing the camera---so dummy rounds should have been loaded) That DE-FACTO rule is on a movie set, it's the armorer and safety person's job RESPONSIBILITY for this,  the actor is a playing a role and assuming they have expert knowledge of everything around them is silly. 

Everyone here seems to be having a hard time understanding that fact.

Why did Baldwin lie and say he didn't pull the trigger?

[Strike 4,814]

Just wondering if any of those who defended Baldwin in this thread change their minds if there is video footage of him repeatedly being reckless with guns on set:

Based on that article, it doesn't change my mind, but I will reserve judgement until I see the evidence.

First day of trial, Baldwin’s lawyers are trying to walk back his claim that he didn’t pull the trigger. Jesus that was a dumb thing to have claimed

 

At trial, the actor’s lawyers appeared to temper that claim a bit, saying that no witnesses had seen Mr. Baldwin “intentionally” pull the trigger on the set that day. But even if he did, his defense argued, it would not be against the law to do so while filming a scene for a movie.

“On a movie set, you’re allowed to pull the trigger,” Mr. Spiro said in court. “So even if — even if — he intentionally pulled the trigger like the prosecutor just demonstrated, that doesn’t make him guilty of homicide.”

Mr. Spiro warned the jury against deciding a case based on whether or not a defendant “misspoke” or said something that ended up not being correct.

I don't think anyone believes it's homicide, they simply know it's manslaughter. At least not necessarily a murder.

So you don't think someone pointing, and shooting a gun at someone, should in any way be held accountable for the result of that action? I mean, it takes a whole society of people to function properly to make a safe environment, doesn't it? 

It's called measures of checks and balances right? Everyone involved is responsible? 

So if someone hands me a gun, and I shoot it at someone and they get killed by it, I good to.go if I say I didn't think it was loaded? 

And wasn't this guy in charge of the whole production and it's processes?

Prosecution screwed up. Seth Kenney had delivered ammo related to the set to the Sheriff, that the prosecution never informed the defense about.

CASE DISMISSED by the Judge.

Alec Baldwin in tears when he heard the judge dismiss the case. Wife in tears.

Charges cannot be refiled as case was dismissed with prejudice.

When that happens we can revisit the "no one is going to be held responsible."  IMO, the two people responsible have been held accountable, as I have explained many times in this thread.

But I agree 100% the prosecution fubared this six ways to Sunday when they charged Baldwin with this crime.
