It wouldn't affect the civil liability and I do not think there is any criminal liability here. So they don't have any real motive to lie.
Alec Baldwin giving an interview tonight on ABC
- Thread starter richaceg
- Start date
Were there not earlier reports of a gun on the set firing without the trigger being pulled?
While possible, I think thats highly unlikely. His asst. director backs Baldwin's story though:
Can a gun fire without pulling the trigger?
Answer (1 of 30): I had an M249 SAW go off with one of my Marines back in 2002 during a live fire exercise. His hand wasn’t even on the pistol grip and the safety was on with the bolt to the rear. We were waiting to launch the assault and his SAW starting going off. He kept his head, pointed the ...www.quora.com
If the gun is defective, it can go off without the trigger being pulled
‘Rust’ AD agrees Baldwin ‘didn’t pull trigger,’ but sheriff’s not convinced
Assistant director Dave Halls has always maintained that Baldwin’s “finger was never in the trigger guard.”

But how would he be able to see in that split moment whether Baldwin's finger was on the trigger or not.
It just doesnt sound realistic to me. It sounds like a story his lawyer has concocted
what does orange turd got to do with this? KR shot and killed 2 rioters, scums you were foaming, this Idiot shot an innocent co-worker negligently and you think it's ok? Lol at loony lefts....
Baldwin is not responsible for this. I know some of you are not capable of understanding that, but it does not change the accepted and practiced standards on movie sets. Yes, someone screwed up. It was not Baldwin. He was doing what the director told him to do with a weapon that was not supposed to be loaded, and in fact, was announced on the set it was “cold” before it was handed to him.
The real questions are, who loaded the weapon, and why?

Not sure but if it did it should have been pulled until repaired

Alec Baldwin 'Rust' Ass't Director Backs Up Claim He Didn't Pull Trigger
The lawyer for the assistant director on "Rust" is backing Alec Baldwin's claim he did not pull the trigger on the gun that caused the death of Halyna Hutchins.

So unless the gun fell and hit the ground, Baldwin had to have touched the trigger in some capacity
Yes you're right, missed the KR. I'm more interested in the title and the interview, where he says he didn't fire or hold the gun. He's already been sued by employees.You should read the entire thread before you make a comment.
CHECK POST#1
Apples to oranges. KR killed in cold blood, Alec did not. He wasn't even responsible for the gun, has as been pointed out many billions of times now by people in the industry. You nutcases areonly going after him BECAUSE of his being a lefty. That is insane.
Lol KR killed in cold blood? He was fleeing from 3 assailants before he shot at them...meanwhile Alec doesn't even think he's not even partially responsible...holding a gun pointed at an innocent person...
He went there with a gun. He shot first. This thread isn't about KR though, stay on topic.
The CIA colluded with the Mafia and the military industrial complex.
Apparently a shot was fired from the grassy knoll.
You'd need a far better opinion on that - an expert who had examined the gun, was familiar with the type of revolver and the previous malfunctions.Gun expert clears things up for us

Baldwin was going to "shoot" someone with the gun at some point. The gun was supposed to be empty. Special effects would dub in the gunshot sound in post production. So it's assumed that his finger would legitimately be on the trigger and pulling it at some point. What was NOT supposed to happen was that the gun was loaded. That's a crew fuck-up.
So Baldwin is not going to face any sort of criminal liability. But the production is going to face massive civil lawsuits. And that's regardless of whether Baldwin touched the trigger or not. It's all the same result.
in fairness, revolvers do have that potential error because they don't have safety...I don't think there is intent on Alec's part, only negligence...
This is the way I see it. ^^^
This sheds some light on the chance (however slim) that the gun fired without pulling the trigger. But I go back to the fact the gun was handed to him and wasn't supposed to be loaded, especially with a bullet.
