The Case Against Alec Baldwin | A Court TV Original 

#CourtTV - What do YOU think?

Hannah looks like a lazy teenager, “I am the armorer, at least I was”. That’s a bit flippant sitting in the police officer car. Then at her trial tried to make her a knowledgeable lady. Whatever.

Tip to Hollywood: There are thousands of highly trained armorers from our military vet pool. You want safety?

Smh…this was so preventable, and so many people failed to adhere to the most simple of safety rules. My heart goes out to Halyna’s loved ones.

Why was there even 1 live round of ammunition on this set ???

It’s not the actors job to check, his job was to say his lines. The girl in charge of the gun should be charged…

Justice for Halyna and her family

You hire a 24 year old pot smoker to handle a very difficult movie set. What could go wrong?

Baldwin's best 'performance' was when he was told she didn't make it.

I am trying to understand having firearms and live ammunition on a movie set. It’s a movie. Make believe. Fake guns and dubbing should be the norm. A senseless and completely avoidable tragedy.

About 500 accidental firearm deaths EVERY YEAR in the USA. 30,000 a year total. If you want to continue to have a society where folks be totting guns - this wont change.

Hannah should have received a much longer sentence due to her unrepentant callous indifference regarding her gross negligence which contributed to Haylnas death

Why would there ever be real bullets on a set?!? With all the other options, & I’m just assuming there are other options❓⁉️🤔

My humble opinion , he definitely is another equally responsible party. He held and pulled trigger pointing directly straight at people in front of him, he was a producer who was okay with hiring the least experienced armorer on a gun heavy film, he was calling a lot of the shots and rushing scenes. He didn't address multiple complaints with safety on set and he was working with a gun provider whose storage system looked like something out of a hoarder's garage.

Halyna May her Memories be a Blessing to her Family and Friends .Court TV Thx for the Excellent Work you all Do

People that hate guns shouldn’t play with guns.

I blame him for hiring someone incompetent and for rushing the set; creating an unsafe environment. I don't understand why someone who may not even know what ammo looks like would be expected to inspect the ammo. Trigger pull is besides the point.

Justice For Halyna Hutchins ⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"do you want to check". He's 100% on the hook. If anyone hands you a gun, what you do next, you own.

I feel so sad for Helyna 😢

His reaction to finding out she bad died is genuine. Stages of grief begin immediately. Shock and disbelief. Idt anyone thks he did it on purpose. Recklessness. And she lost her life. ❤❤

Give all your kids a HUGE hug-you are going to prison

I remember losing my brother when I was 8. I can’t imagine the hurt and pain her 10 year old son felt. I had so much to say to my brother but he was never going to listen to me again.

This isn't very easy. If you're an actor, you're not thinking there is a live round in the gun. Alex didn't intend to kill this young woman. The issue is who had responsibility for that gun and what the policies are on set for safety for both actors and crew? There was a live round on set. How did that happen and what was done to prevent something like that from happening. Maybe they could have used guns that can't fire live rounds. Not sure if they exist. You can't use guns without there being safety protocols. Justice for Halyna Hutchins. By the way, who hired Hannah the purple and yellow hair Armorer, she looks as if she has no experience what-so-ever.

2 people were responsible for the firearm before given to the actor regardless if the actor didnt do his check point...

He’s not responsible criminally. But because there is a life lost, he might be responsible morally. It is the armourer’s fault.

Didn't they already have complaints before the murder ??? People were walking off the set ??? Don't you remember ???

He just comes off as so arrogant and egotistical. Reflex alone he pulled the trigger. He acted sporadic.

No real guns should be used . it also happend to Brandy Lee.. very unprofessional whoever loaded the gun is more responsible

When seconds matter..."you got a seal"..."um, let me spend the next few minutes digging around my bag to try and find that seal"

Guns are not to be treated as props under any circumstances. Alec pointed and pulled the trigger even though he knew better.

Who would ever take a firearm from someone and not clear it themselves? That is basic safety.

So here's a thought: Manufacture prop guns to be made of some other type of material and oh, have them designed in such a way that there's absolutely NO WAY to enable live ammunition to fit them. In addition, for extra points, hire an awesome Sound Effects crew to make the bang-bangs sound really real. But what do I know...

Common sense in America is different to common sense in the rest of the world

It doesn’t sound like anyone that worked on that movie was on top of the game, cutting costs and hiring second rate talent

I've worked on many sets like this over the years, it's time for change and for the film industry to start making sure that scripts are workable for schedule and realistic, lives have been lost and people in accidents that could have been avoided. Sadly it's had to come to this.

Halyna and her family have justice. Alec was handed a loaded gun. The gun was not checked properly. Those responsible for gun safety are in prison. Or took a plea deal. The set was small and quiet. It was a rehearsal for camera.

Alec Baldwin does not strike me as the most well balanced individual 😅

Gross negligence, 100%. He was even using it as a pointer, and waving it at everyone. If there's justice, he's done, but Hollywood.

I definitely believe David Hall took a plea deal

22:52 Mr Baldwin, unfortunately, is a horrible narcissist, and simply cannot keep his mouth shut. Even for his own sake.

Should be LAW! No live ammo on movie sets,period! Also licensed security can carry.

Unless AB learned trigger discipline (finger in trigger guard) over lunch…his finger was on the trigger when he pulled the weapon after lunch.

Real cinematic thumbnail

This was a great documentary on this tragic case. Baldwin has at least 50% of culpability in this poor woman's shooting. I hope justice is served for the victim and her grieving family. 🙏😪

“ The idea she could stop Baldwin is ludicrous.” SPEAKS VOLUMES.

I don't understand why the judge has ruled against Baldwin being labeled as producer? It was Alec Baldwin (producer) that gave the orders. It was Alec Baldwin (producer) that violated safety mandates. It was Alec Baldwin (producer) that fired the lethal bullet.

Hannah was arrested at a dive bar in Santa Fe for showing up with a firearm.

I never saw Alec cry about what he had done.

Im 45 yrs old and have been shooting guns since I was 6. My dad raised my 5 older bros and myself around guns and the very first time he handed me a gun, he handed it to me and told me, seconds later, asked me if it was loaded. I told him, I didnt know and he took it away from me and told me I couldnt shoot. As he turned away I asked him why I couldnt shoot. Id been looking forward to this moment in my life, I was finally going to get to shoot a real gun. My dad turned back to me and knelt down to look me directly in the eye. He said, "Any time, every time someone hands you a gun, ALWAYS assume its loaded!" He then told and showed me how to open a gun to see if it was loaded. It was a lesson he repeated, every time he took me shooting, until it was firmly in my memory to always check a gun.

I’m sorry, there’s one guy in this trailer who says, “Alec Baldwin couldn’t care less.” That is just ridiculous.

Hey, at least Alic made them all wear masks

Alec has some culpability, but he didn’t cause this to happen solely. Who’s responsibility is it to properly de-arm weapons? Who’s responsible for keeping live ammunition off the set? Why was there live ammunition even present? If Alec looked at the bullets in that gun, he’d see dummy bullets, should he be expected to know the difference? That’s what an armorer does. If there were already safety concerns and ignored, who’s responsible for safety? The Halls man pleaded and is out of the picture, he also accepted responsibility and had genuine remorse. Has Alec shown genuine compassion? I didn’t see it his police interview. It was like him sitting on a talk show. I’m not a Baldwin fan, however it appears like he’s being made the face of a very tragic, horrible tragedy due to his fame and fortune.

Common sense is that you don't point a gun at anyone and you definitely don't point a gun at someone and pull the trigger. Last everyone had their guard down and wasn't worried because the script didn't have Alex pulling the trigger let alone pointing it at anyone so in my opinion it's his fault

They should play Alec's Hollywood video confession for the jury, complete with elevator music.

Ugh.. asshole or not, the shot was rehearsed quite a few times and unless he left the room to reload, he cannot beheld accountable! It’s the way they worked, trusting chain of command. Imo

I hope Alec goes to jail for 10 years.

Why was she not fired before the incident if it was so obvious she was incompetent

There shouldn't have been any live rounds anywhere near the set. Production should have been halted Immediately and removed those rounds.

If this is just the movie, why did they need real bullets and a real gun?

Safety first, they're all accountable!

Why was there a gun with real ammunition in it anywhere near the set why we live round anywhere near the set? No one has ever answered that question. It’s ridiculous that no one has an answer for that.

Lmao Alec acting all surprised that the lady he shot died

He should have checked the gun.

You don't trust anyone when it comes to a weapon, guns in your hand your responsibility is yours to check the weapon

I dont care who you are. You go waving a gun around and pointing it at people as you talk. Im telling him to stop. Especially if im one of tbise people. Thats willingly. Knowingly. Recklessly. Elements of every crime.

Life in prison without parole AT A MINIMUM!

Very good doc. Thank you for this.

It’s crazy how court cases have commercials and trailers now…

He did it.

More to this then we'll ever know!

Great documentary!!! Bravo. Such an all around tragedy.

Of course this was 100% an accident, that's never even been in question in my mind. That said, Baldwin aimed the firearm at a person and pulled the trigger. Therefore, Baldwin is responsible for the death of Halyna, period. Scott Rasmussen in this program said it better than anyone else I've heard so far. (I'm totally paraphrasing here) >>>>>If Baldwin's scene in this movie was him committing su*c*de by firearm you can bet your last dollar that he himself would have double and triple checked that firearm before the scene went live, 100%

The gun had real bullets in it but he didn't fire the gun with that knowledge, similar to someone who purchases a stolen object without knowing that it was stolen. There is no criminal intent in either of these situations. You can't turn this into a circumstantial case, either. No criminal intent, criminal negligence, or involuntary manslaughter.

"if it was a suicide scene" Alec Baldwin would of slowed down to triple check the gun. That was a great example.

Why was live ammunition on set? Some one put the bullet in there and Alec pulled the trigger as per the set. But my question still stands out and bithers me, WHT WAS LIVE AMMUNITION ON SET???

Alex, go under a rock,you are to old and shaky to have a gun. You had your time and money.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. The gun did not "go off.". Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger and killed Halyna Hutchins.

Maybe his TDS will get him out of this mess!

I m not the one to decide.

I am hoping that the Family Of Halyna Hutchins Can Get Justice and will be able to rest in peace. Rest In Peace Halyna ❤❤❤

are they seriously gonna let the person free who is responsible for putting a live round on a movie set? like what the hell.

YES! YES! YES! Seth Kenny ! But Hannah has some responsibility being the armour

He absolutely is not responsible for in this. This is just about money.

Real guns and live ammunition on a movie set is ridiculous

For those that were racing a schedule, how's your schedule now?

Since this happened, Alec has only cared and worried about himself. A true monster.

The guest on closing arguments spoke of Brandon Lee. Said a dummy in gun. But it was hunk of metal left behind from dummy. It was not cleaned and The nxt dummy pushed it out and into Brandon. Glad S/O else remembering him. 😢😢😢😢

No surprise the cart was 'un-maned' ... the armourer position was a half time position along with props master. Not usual. Another sign this was a no budget squeeze. Again this is on Baldwin. But he didn't pull the trigger - sure!

You telling us there’s not footage of Baldwin pulling the gun out and shooting the photographer?

I just want to know who put the bullet in??. I pray the truth will be revealed. Praying 🙏🏻

He’s just totally mixed up in his value system. You don’t kill someone, accident or not, and two weeks later, celebrate Halloween.

I watched the part were the actors guild claims actors are not responsible for safety on sets .....I disagree...if an actor handles a real firearm they are absolutely responsible for handling that weapon, the law does not change because you're on a set.

The question- who put live bullets in the gun? Looks like it could have been a great movie.

Didn't he have bullets in his own vest ???

The Hollywood attitude about actors not being responsible for gun safety is so wrong, uber disturbing! They should have taken accountability seriously even before Brandon Lee was killed. AB has certainly had difficulty owning his fatal mistake of not checking the gun himself.

I liked the perspective of the firearm expert at the end: If Baldwin was doing a scene where he was to act out his own suicide he surely would’ve checked the gun and checked it twice. He didn’t respect the people around him as much.

How does a show like The Walking Dead use real weapons and have hundreds of thousands if not millions of shots fired over the life of the series by dozens and dozens of different people, and never have such an accident?

I can't wait!
