FBI testing heavily damaged the firearm before Baldwin’s team was able to examine it for any potential modifications, and authorities failed to photograph the individual elements of the firearm beforehand, the defense had argued.
Looks like he’s still sticking to his “the gun just fired by itself” defence. Which is both sad and confusing as he pulled it out on set with the intention to pull the trigger for the scene. Whether it went off on its own is moot as even if it didn’t, he would still moments later have pulled the trigger. It’s not like the gun flew out of hits holster and shot Hutchins.
The FBI and an independent firearms expert found the gun functioned normally and would not fire without the trigger depressed, but Baldwin’s defense team has argued that the firearm was prone to malfunctioning.
So you admittedly used a known, malfunctioning gun? How is that better or even exonerates him in this case? I guess based on his history with finance, he got one of those bargain basement lawyers to build his defence.
The entire set was a gong show and this is what happens when you don’t follow the proper safety rules and bring in a bunch of unqualified people because you stiffed the former crew for pay. Sad that an innocent person had to die.

It wasn’t even an actual scene being filmed, It was blocking (working out the details of an actor’s moves in relation to the camera) where non-functioning props like cardboard are usually used. The scene script in question also didn’t even have him pointing the gun. He was supposed to only draw the gun out partially.

So he just whipped it out for fun? This just gets worse as more details emerge
