  1. The Missing Word Is "Devitation"

  2. Plead not guilty all you want but we ALL know who was holding the gun.
    ALEC IS GUILTY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

  3. He pulled the trigger he was in charge of the production of the film. He knew there were live rounds on set he's guilty on all charges

  4. He’s pleading not guilty cause guess what folks……he’s NOT GUILTY!!!!!

  5. Didn't he admit he shot her?

  6. I hope he rots in jail he’s garbage!💩

  7. He should have CHECKED the gun!! NO question about that! He’s NOT a dummy stupid little child!!

  8. He had the gun in his hand! She DIED from the bullet coming from the gun in his hand!!!

  9. Fine, but don't cry for him Argentina when the jury finds him guilty. Maximum sentence for his unremorseful plea.

  10. salut l'Amérique des cawboys et des youyous !

    c'est l'évidence même qu'il n'avait pas que ça à faire de flinguer la photographe ! mobile ?
    c'est du cinéma normalement ! les cawboys…les indiens qui font youyou !

    quelqu'un a chargé à balles réelles et fabriqué une arme par destination, Alec Baldwin.

    on peut tout imaginer, même un ' bougnoule barbu ' sur le tournage !

    Alec Baldwin est innocent ! c'est ma conviction aujourd'hui !

    Hello America of cawboys and ululations!

    It's obvious that he didn't just want to shoot the photographer! mobile ?
    It’s normally cinema! the cawboys…the Indians who are ululating!

    someone loaded live ammunition and made a weapon by destination, Alec Baldwin.

    you can imagine anything, even a 'bearded grump' on set!

    Alec Baldwin is innocent! This is my belief today.

    LOOL

  11. “The analysis from experts in ballistics and forensic testing relied on replacement parts to reassemble the gun fired by Baldwin, after parts of the pistol were broken during testing by the FBI. The report examined the gun and markings it left on a spent cartridge to conclude that the trigger had to have been pulled or depressed”.

    * The gun was allegedly ‘modified’. In this respect there very well could have been a malfunction, either by a defective sear causing the hammer to be discharged with no amount of pressure being applied. Additionally, one cannot determine whether live or ‘blank’ rounds were in the gun ( F.lli Pietta long Colt 45 revolver) simply by spinning the cylinder. This was the job of the ‘Armorer’ and assistant to check and verify the safety of the weapon (Prop Gun).

    ** * A slip gun is a revolver which has been modified to disconnect the trigger from the hammer, so as to cause it to fire by pulling back and releasing the hammer. Often the hammer spur is lowered, so the gun may be fired by wiping one's finger across the hammer. Enough said.

  12. There is a no drinking clause to remain out of jail pending trial. Don’t now how that will go.

  13. Who asked for a bigger gun, Alec ?

  14. Who pulled the trigger, Alec ?

  15. Baldwin will win the case. There will be some massive lawsuits against the person who brought an active firearm to a movie set.

  16. Alec is guilty of everything, especially being stupid, but involuntary manslaughter, or any manslauter, No!

  17. What most morons don’t understand is the law. Go ahead and look up INVOLUNTARY MAN(and or woman)SLAUGHTER or any of the endless genders, crazy people think exist. He pointed a “prop gun” at another human. He knew it were capable of firing. And it did.

  18. So how did live rounds & real gun just all of a sudden appear on a set & why real gun not a prop gun appear?
    Who brought it there, it had to be registered right?
    Why wasn’t a prop gun used like all the other movies?
    Did the director make this decision? So many unanswered questions?

  19. Hannah Gutierrez is the rat that brought live rounds to the set.

  20. TRUMPETTES LEMMINGS LONE STAR TREK HORROR HOUSE SS b HUSSEIN O

  21. I believe Alec is innocent
