More evidence that from a prosecution standpoint they are not willing to let Baldwin walk without trial.


 New Mexico prosecutors intend to re-charge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal 2021 “Rust” shooting, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

 One of the sources told NBC News that after further investigation, prosecutors no longer believe the gun had been modified and have found new evidence that they believe connects Baldwin to recklessness around safety standards on the set.

 The evidence is the Prosecution, and only the Prosecution with the exemption of all other known entities, the Prosecution in exclusivity and only the Prosecution are not willing to let Baldwin walk.

 This is in contrast to the claims otherwise.

 As for the civil suits, it requires both sides agree, so yeah he paid them off, and they accepted.

Should Baldwin have checked the gun himself personally? Sure, maybe. I don’t know, I’m not an actor who been in thousands movie and fired hundreds of fake guns. Does every actor check every single gun? I doubt it.

 They don't.  I've done some research into this and it is not common for actors to check weapons.  I was more on board with every human that uses a real/active/useable firearm should follow the basic safety rules, but after visiting a few film sets and discussing this with actual film armorers, this appears to be very implausible.  Actors will point firearms at other humans all the time, and they not all go through shooter safety courses and receive training for every firearm type they will handle.  The responsibility will fall on the expert in that field.  It's like expecting all actors to also know set lighting, cinematography and set sound design.

 For that matter in many, many, as in hundreds, of the exercises I have ran over the years we unsafely handle firearms by universal standard of conduct since we use real/active/useable firearms in CCW and CQB drills.  The standard we use is the elimination of all ammunition from the training area, and the isolated handling of firearms by dedicated armorers.  

 For instance when a human arrives with a firearm they must have emptied and pre-cleared the weapon.  It is handed off to an armorer who will distribute and collect the weapon for all exercises.  They are responsible for making sure every weapon remains empty during drills.

"But somebody could put live ammo in when you aren't looking!!"  This is true.  Someone looking to commit murder could do this at any time at any exercise we ever do.  This I like saying a human could turn around and shoot people at a shooting range.  The point is we point weapons at people and we use third party experts as the primary safety feature.

 Filming should have stopped as soon as some members of the crew went out shooting live ammo at the end of the day.  That, in my mind, is the single largest contributing factor here.  Live ammo allowed anywhere on set, and loose weapons.

They, Don't, have to PROVE it ?

Oh wait, PROOF, of something does NOT matter, when someone with a agenda, TELLS YOU, their is no Proof and/or Proof does NOT matter !


"...In a statement from his attorney, Matthew Hutchins also said he would be named an executive producer of the film, which would resume filming in January "with all the original principal players on board."..."

Was Hutchins, originally the 'executive producer of the film', or was that part of the (unknown details), settlement ?

Baldwin, will PAY off Morrissey and Lewis.
And I believe he will WALK !
