I could believe if he said he didn’t mean to pull the trigger but that’s not the way it went down

[bobjenkins]

That's not a win. That's someone who isn't going to sacrifice your constitutional rights when you get found guilty.

[harryrussell]

The bullet goes where the gun is pointed, and the trigger pulled. Bad lie dude, seriously.

[grantboi]

So lame the armourer is on set to ensure the safety and the chain of weapons authentication. It's not the actors job to check a cold gun as he wouldn't no a live round from a blank because he is not trained for that

[talos]

So is murderer Alec Baldwin going to proclaim open season to aim a gun and shoot a woman and have people say they didn't pull the trigger alibi?

[pn]

if he never pulled the trigger, how did it get shot? where did the bullet come from?

[bobjenkins]

So the construction has been erased from an appeal. That's not an appeal

[privateprivate]

I feel bad for alec as well as the victim and family of the victim

[FlightDek]

This will increase Alec's false sense of security, and will up his Narcissistic tendency's. Alec is just one step closer to full on, Colonel Nathan R. Jessup possession. The Colonel will make his presence known. These little "wins" only up the stakes of the SELF RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION GAME.

[joeyharper]

The whole Baldwin family is insane. I mean, look at Hailey Bieber...

[anslogarrick]

Here’s the deal he’s no longer allowed to touch a gun or a knife or anything of a weapon and he’s gonna understand that whoever is directing the film needs to be monitoring the entire situation

[digitalwatcher]

Hell get a slap on the wrist, the round killed the woman not Alec.

[janesouth]

I think the wrong two people are on trial. Its laughable prosecuting an actor as himself not mr rust. I dont think its the armourers fault as she was thwarted from carrying out her job properly ie buying her own stock and not being bossed nor intimidated by directors. Whoever put the bullet there has gotten away with it. It should simply be an inquest not a criminal prosecution. I feel sorry for them and family of victim.

[erepsekahs]

What does it cost to get a special prosecutor to stand down, and who do you see?

[kathrynoneill]

He is acting like John Landis after her got those kids, and actor on The Twilight Zone movie killed all he cares about is saving his own skin.

[jamesbryon]

You will always be guilty ..you did it ..own it

[KaiserBlade]

Clearly it was Alec that loaded a live round in the gun. Knowing reasonable doubt will get him off.

[iouel]

If he didn't pull the trigger, then she was murdered. Not sure he wants to move with that arguement. I think it was a crime of passion.
