  1. Bye bye Baldwin. Go to jail.

  2. October 2021 to January 2024 isn't four years, legal eagle. It's two years and less than four months. At any rate, the poor woman is still dead.

  3. Well it's about friggin' time.

  4. What an abomination…. As an actor, he has to trust other people to supply the proofs… The only thing he did was follow a script.. even in rehearsal… End of story…. IQs must have severely dropped in the US over the last few years… Just look at the bimbo representing Trump… If that's the calibre of their legal eagles, they seem more like vultures. This trial is a sham.

  5. What a joke. Alec isn't a perfect person, but he is a completely innocent person being dragged through the mud on this. So what's next? Is every actor from now on going to be charged with attempt of murder when ever they fire a prop gun at someone?

    It was the armorer who was responsible to make sure the gun was safe to handle.
    They are just going after Alec cause he has money. If they want justice for her death, Alec is the last person they should go after.

  6. 2021 and 2024 isnt a lot of time

  7. What institution in that wacky country isn’t a gd clown show these days

  8. The only thing that died was a human being named Hayla Hutchins

  9. The obfuscation of the truth in current jurisprudence is sickening! I don't forget the labor battle between the I.A.T.S.E. union and the director/producer over using non union workers (at least one in particular) on set. It was a bitter argument that the local I A.T.S.E simply resented loosing and the propmaster deliberately loaded that gun to make a point to the production company that they will not accept amd will sabotage any production hiring non union workers. This type of moffia/mob boss approach has been too common within unions! Unions are good to have except when they take an unwarranted push against the shove of non union workers in need to somehow ingratiate themselves for matriculation into a niche market in a work force that is a private clubhouse. If you have skills but don't have any inroad, your application is filed in the wastbasket and the applicant is sent off to the farm where they weave the basket their application was filed in and with wiskey laughs and cigar praises, the boys upstairs press on as the British would say leaving those deposed to languish in licorice laments amd cigarette citations. It's wrong and power has to be balanced between those crafty workers and handy workers in harmony and this mob monopoly needs wresting from those boys upstairs and petty politicians who cower in corners and scower the records for evil actions imposed by the Bourgeoisie.

    Alec Baldwin was and is being played as the pattsy. The court should uphold the truth by intrepid inspection of these details and fearlessly confront the Goliath Elephant in the room; or let's say the room in the Goliath Elephant!

  10. You said it plain and clear. He was "entitled" to take the word of the armorer. Every knowledgeable gun owner and user understands the First Rule of Firearms safety is to "treat every firearm as if it were loaded." You guys are full of garbage. None of you know anything about firearms use or safety.

  11. He LITERALLY shot a woman to death in front of a crowd of people. This commentator is a schill.

  12. Name calling aside, there is zero reason why an actor would have to check the firearm. They have people that are entrusted to deal with the firearm. If somebody played the president in the movie and he pressed the button and it actually launched a missile then It's still not his fault. The actor's not going to go and investigate what the button is actually connected to. It's not his job.

  13. Been famous is the only reason he’s not in jail come on now many murder cases take years so what is this guy talking about saying it’s a zombie case absolutely rubbish

  14. They keep bringing up old charges for trump why not trumps impersonator

  15. Wouldn’t this be considered double jeopardy?

  16. Why was a real, loaded weapon being used in a film production?

  17. And won't do a day in jail 😂

  18. Baldwin is a lowlife hick actor
