Prosecutor Slams Baldwin's Motion To Dismiss -- Lawyer Reacts 

He may have boxed himself into *having* to testify because the many conflicting statements he made. It feels like a catch 22... he may have to but it likely will be a disaster. The Stephanopoulos interview has obvious edits. I wonder if they can subpoena the uncut footage for court. Baldwin is the poster child for stfu.

I will have all the popcorn ready

Yeah, considering he went on that insane George Stephanopoulos interview , it seems either he ignores his counsel's advice, they're incompetent or they're simply yes men. Anybody else got the hunch he hired yes men for his counsel? This kind of reeks of an Amber H personality that just has gotten away with it for a few decades longer.

@@silikon2 I think at least a significant percentage of celebrities are like that. Amber just wasn’t good enough at the game.

Direct.

Nice analogy! 😆

Perhaps a Mr Baldwin plushie? 😂😂

lol so accurate

Good one!

Can you imagine being married to this guy?

@@vanmamawannabe6360 I have just been sick in my mouth. The thought gives me horror-mares

Agree 100%..he will take the stand, his personality demands it!

He knew there wouldn't be any more money coming from this, may as well make hay while the sun shines!

His phone calls to family that we have heard about reveal his self centered soul.

@@DaibhidhBhoAlbayou’re an angry lil guy aren’t ya

To be honest, I would still have my family come if we had paid for a vacation. The action isn't an issue, but his evident lack of care and concern is.

@@Vykk_Draygo I still don’t get why his tone on a phone call to his wife about their kids going on vacation (people make weird 911 calls for example that others will claim indicate their guilt then they are innocent) matters at all in the facts of this case. Personal attacks =/= legal arguments? Baldwin is a jerk but did he actually break laws? The personal attack stuff seems sus.

Everyone feels that way. Weird it has a wire around it. Whats that all about?

It's a commercial for Pace picante sauce.

“Get a rope” ETA: that is next line in salsa commercial.

I hadn't thought about that commercial in years. It was a very fun and appropriate blast from the past.

@@albinoman13bt Great commercials for a terrible salsa.

"snarky ball of hate" love it, great 😆

Snarky ball of hate? Strikes me she's just bringing the truth.

@@sunnyadams5842 Yeah but as a writer I love that choice of words...

@@sunnyadams5842 No shade here, she's bringing the truth but Hell is coming with her. Her word choices and phrasing... you can feel the death stare. Holy hell she's pissed and it comes through in every paragraph. I'm now a fan.

she is definitely someone you want on your side, not on your opponent’s 😂

I'm glad she dropped it now. I'm going to cool my home all summer with this shade.

My dad told me that when I was about five years old, when he was handing me a CAP GUN! That’s how seriously my generation was taught to handle actual firearms. Never ever ever point it at a person.

she would give the jury a concerned look while reviewing Hannah's interview with the investigating detective. Basically, "can you believe the stuff? This armourer on trial is admitting to being scary careless with these guns."

She had a witness on the Stand Lie in the Hannah Gutierrez-Reed trial.

​@@metal--babble346The Procecution had a witness that lied on the Witness stand.

​@@carrollsanders9376 that's a helluva accusation! Who are you talking about ?

@@MissteryDiva The Procecution witness that Said Hannah Gutierrez Reed should have removed the Cylinder from the gun to check for an Obstruction. The Colt 1873 peace Maker required tools to remove the Cylinder, and it wasn't necessary, you can see though the firing pin hole at the Back of the chamber with the hammer at Half Cock. I see many mistakes in that trial. It wasn't until 1896 that you could remove the Cylinder on a Colt without tools. That's when Remington's patent on the push pin Cylinder release expired.

Not going to happen!🤨

When this first happened, I thought it was entirely Hannah's fault. But after all this information has come out, I'm now thinking Baldwin deserves a prison sentence equal to Hannah's.

​@@RationalGaze216same. Feeling he will get off though

This filing makes his lawyers sound like bozos, not high priced wizards... but floating that Ford/Mirren/Ackles type bs makes it sound like Alec is calling the plays here. It's audacious to do a "documentary" about what happened, with interviews by witnesses... and feels like they're trying to trade Hollywood goodies, like how her widower ended up a producer on the movie.... Should have taken the misdemeanor and run. This defense has to be costing a fortune, as no doubt the civil cases. Here's an idea: don't cheap out and be lazy when making a movie, certainly when it involves dangerous props and when you have a significant net worth to protect. Would taking the misdemeanor have actually made a difference in the civil cases? Pretty hard to see it would. Morrisey is constantly trolling throughout this filing, and you can bet she's goading Alec to testify. And that would be spectacular. Maybe they can arrange a violinist behind him like on George P's show.

The director should have been more in control! Unfortunately I can see Baldwin “Boss” everybody around!

Absolutely 💯!... I can imagine that he would have checked the weapon before firing it if, in the script, he was expected to hold it to his own head !;

I love that term, I hope it catches on outside this channel.

You can cool it all summer with the shade...

Absolutely!

He is pathologically incapable.

Bazinga 🤣

You should stand behind him all the way. It’s the safest place really.

😬🫣

Definitely with his arrogant wreckleness! I bet he would have checked the gun BEFORE he pointed it at one of his kids or his own head!

Stopppppoooo 😂😂😂😂

Love that shout out to the ad

Short and to the point.😂👍🏻

Nailed it, especially with how instrumental he was to the accident actually happening.

He has several characteristics of the psychopath.

Lies. A tool is useful.

I found it a little difficult to follow because she felt a need to list every blow by blow. It may be because baldwin 300 some odd page motion was kitchen sink defense… but I’m glad runkle could navigate me through the weeds on this one. Ty and I look forward to continued commentary about the firearm and projectile components of this case.

@@annm9589 indeed! I watched it first with Emily and then again with Runkle. I find it helpful to get a couple of different lawyers to go over things. 👍

😳 At that close distance even the gasses from a blank could harm the photographers.

Does that apply for forever? Like having to register as a sex offender for certain offenses?

That's not true

When did he say that?

That's a bit of a rich thing to say isn't it?

If Alec believes that everyone treats firearms with as much flippancy as he does then no wonder he wants them to be restricted

Receipt?

Yeahno she wouldn't

Yeahno she wouldn't

They OBVI didn't either!!

I would guess she would testify that he was being reckless with gun. She's been in a few movies with a lot of guns on set. So not a good defense witness lol

Wait? That was the deal? People with weed get harsher plea deals than that! Someone with a security clearance could probably keep their job from that deal, much less a famous actor. Plus, you're right. It would have been an easy PR win to spin it as a tragedy and feed his anti-firearm rhetoric.

In motion they said same offer as Dave Hall…misdemeanor, 6 mnt non-reporting probation, and 1 day gun safety class.

Hall really made the right choice, he got to walk away singing 'zippity doo da'.

That was the plea deal?? And he didn't take it?? He was insane not to. Or his lawyers failed him big time. Does he realize just how easy it is to find him guilty on the charges they brought? New Mexico law doesn't care what SAG thinks. Yes the actor should be able to trust others to keep him safe and in check, but Baldwin was the producer and so any failures in hiring effective crew members could arguably be at his feet as well, not to mention the effects of his own behavior on set.

​@arthurmoore9488 hannah also got that deal bur she needed to state who supplied the ammo (it was her step dad) so instead she's going to prison

I think she would more likely to have said 🤔 don't point that f!^g thing at me

If she did direct him, she was looking at the camera screen and focusing on the picture, not watching him directly. Since they were only rehearsing, it was unnecessary to have ANYTHING in the cylinder but air.

@@briant7265 while blocking it's even unnecessary for it to be a gun at all. Could have been his hand or a banana or a stick or literally anything else that would not fire anything. But since it's Baldwin, he wanted his toy for everything and it makes me mad. There was no need to have it. (and a gun should not be a toy anyways but we all have seen how he handles weapons)

​@@serenetiv It isn't as if gun-shaped props don't exist; IIRC, _Rust_ even had some for scenes where they didn't need a gun for the shot.

@@boobah5643 yes but I mean, you don't even need the shape especially. it's just for looking were everyone and the camera has to be. it's baldwin's ego that wanted a real gun for this.

He must have hired the same counsel that Scientology uses.

​@@UncleKennysPlace😂😂😂IKR? And splitting stupid hairs and just outright lying. Narcissism is killing us!!

Bravo 👏 you just blew my mind

​@@bluev7427so did AB to that poor lady..... Too soon?

been wondering about this from the start. how on earth did live ammo get anywhere near those guns?? truly a staggering amount of flagrant disregard for anyone's safety.

Correct! There is still a need for basic firearms safety performed by everyone. Assuming that there was no live ammunition was criminally negligent and got someone killed.

Without a live bullet, none of this would have happened. NO live bullets are ever supposed to be on a movie set. SOMEBODY brought that live bullet onto the set, and put it in that gun. Why aren't they more concerned with finding out who did that? Was it deliberately put into what was supposed to be a prop gun that Baldwin was to handle? Were they trying to scare him when a real bullet was fired? I look at this more as a deliberate action to "get" Baldwin. And it went way farther than the "prank" was supposed to go. Or, was the target the armorer? She was being discussed as a nepotism hire and not qualified for the job. A person who wanted that job or knew somebody who "should have" gotten the job would be a good suspect.

I want HER . . as my defense lawyer

That is civil liability.

She’s definitely a pitbull and a hard working attorney. I do worry about her style in the courtroom as she is most comfortable with cross even though she is prosecuting and that getting the best of her with these seasoned attorneys. We shall see. I would like to see justice done here for the victim(s).

@@annm9589 Agreed. "Balls" had nothing on her during trial. These AB guys are going to pester the court with objections every ten seconds. She may have learned a few more things from the HG trial and how to carry prosecuting forward, though. Hopefully, that will be the case. Her closing arguments were devastating, I gotta give her that.

Well, actually I was listening to many things when this first happened and Alex tried to spread lies right away. He was talking to someone and mentioned that last weekend they had some fun because they had a bunch of target practice and even used some real bullets. Now that was intended to make Hannah Gutierrez-Reed look even more guilty and remove him from any hint of guilt. He was never in control of the scene, or so he says but he was guilty of reckless behavior from the start.
