The question l have always asked is what was live ammo doing on a movie set? A movie set is the last place live ammo should be.
where have you been?
There is talk that the Ammo manufacturing was defective and got mixed up in a batch of Ammo.
Get caught up…it was a set up

The whole thing was a huge tragedy, all the way around for everyone involved.
Are you a real person? Do you even know what took place? The person he shot? That she was interviewing him? Or is it just a big name star youre happy to see walk after murder?
I agree. It's a good ruling.
@NoFace-ke9pc Do YOU know exactly what took place? Were you there??
So he got away with away w it sounds abt yt
@@carmarasmussen8118 I was not there.. but i KNOW that a lady lost her life because someone PULLED the trigger.. when he was NOT supposed to..
When your job is gun safety and you declare a gun safe before handing it to an actor, how could the actor be to blame if it’s not safe? An absolute tragedy all around and I’m sure Baldwin will be haunted for the rest of his life over it.
Agree
I stand by what I said a long time ago , the armorer was responsible for handing a gun with live ammo to Alec . Come on , y'all know Alec wouldn't knowingly shoot someone and ruin his acting career and life for that matter . This trial was a waste of taxpayers hard earned money . That DA should be fired . That's all I got to say about that .
Agree 100%.
The SOB didn't have to point it at her and pull the trigger. She wasn't in the scene!
Imagine all of those who couldn’t afford attorneys and who are sitting in prisons because of corrupt Police who have hidden evidence that would have exonerated them.
Tell us you know nothing about how courts work without telling us you know nothing about how courts work.
The people who works for the system is corrupt as all the diff types non sense laws
What does that have to do with this case I’m sure there are a few people that are not guilty in prison they’re always has been well always will be
This had nothing to do with the police
Did any of you read?? They withheld evidence, buncha geniuses. Keep the moronic comments coming!
To withhold a box of ammunition in a case directly about live ammunition/gun safety on set is such a wild screw up!!
It’s not a screw up. It’s corruption.
@@OrdinaryDude67 is another way of putting it
@@yeahdefinitely6607DA looked @ the ammo & determined that it wasn’t relevant? Why not let the Judge & Jury come to the same conclusion?

Wild screw up? More like NM protecting their Hollywood dollars.

This was a dumpster fire from the start. The D.A.& staff are worse than the ones that tried the O.J. trail.
That DA should be fired. Waste of time and taxpayer money!!!
She resigned
@@MrAmc1291 she resigned but not for the right reasons. She was a primadonna.

The judge is corrupt. He dismissed the case with prejudice which means it can never be filed again. There's no reason to do that other than to protect Baldwin. The fix was in.
@@johnspring8885
Was it a waste? Seems to have worked out well for ol Alec. He walks altogether. Looks like money well spent for him Wouldn't you say?
Who uses live ammo on a movie set. He depended on her expertise as a professional consultant. Prop gun should have been a prop
They wanted to save money from hiring a professional gun expert/handler whatever their called and this is what happens when they chose to save money. They hired that girl who looks like she knew the bare minium of that part of the job.
He should have gone too jail he was the lead director on the film so he should have been checking also any and all information had too go through him so he knew what was being used and done…
"Prop" guns are usually real guns, using blacks
@@angie-jo1mn Bruh. The girls told him not to touch the gun. He picked it up and shot someone. This should have been the most open and shut case conceivable
The word prop is short for theater property. It does not indicate that something is real or not.
What was the purpose of putting this man and his family threw this? What was the purpose of putting the victims family threw this? How do you drop a case a year before and then pick it up a year later and leave out evidence?? If i were Alec i would sue these ppl for causing me and my family so much Grief.
Give me a damn break. Why should he not go through the exact same process as everyone else? GTFO with your celebrity worship.
I never understood why Alec Baldwin was charged for man's slaughter when the whole episode was an accident. As an actor all he would do is following a script isn't it? He gets handed over the tools on the movie set and whoever prepared them is the culprit for not making sure everything was according the procedure, and then accusing the actor for using the tools of the trade for what happened.
This whole episode made me love Alec Baldwin even more
But he was also a producer who hired the armorer, so he has some responsibilty for the safety on the set, whether or not he was held accountable in this particular case due to the prosecution's mishandling of the case.
@@ZenFox0 Alec Baldwin he meant no harm to anyone I don't feel he is a bad person in any way, just trying to do his job and an accident happened. Fatalities cannot be taken back unfortunately.
@@ZenFox0 Not to mention, he has hands and pockets to hide bullets in. I'm not saying he's guilty of 1st degree, but let's not forget that the armorer wasn't the only person with the means.
@@ZenFox0 Furthermore, as producer he expected the armorer he hired to do the additional job of props assistant as a cost-cutting measure, meaning that her attention was divided.
With prejudice. That means the case can never be reopened.
Justice can be served in other ways.

The state was acting ridiculous constantly throwing off the defense and interjecting at inappropriate times. I’m sure the judge was just as annoyed as those watching the trial.
Dismissed "with prejudice" indicates the prosecutor's violation and/or evident bias was SO BAD that the judge believes the case should NEVER be reopened.

How Isn’t the armorer, the person actually In charge of the weapons not the main suspect?
She was convicted of manslaughter already. She was the main suspect

I just never understood why they tried to go after Baldwin anyway. Someone had a bias that pushed this to where it was.

You don't find that strange 🤔 That the prosecution would make such an OBVIOUS mistake that wouldn't ya know? Gets Alec off altogether. Hey look how that works.
I don’t like the Baldwins, period. But safety on the set is not his job. He’s an actor and his job is to act. Prop safety, set safety … is somebody’s job.
He was a producer of the film. That makes it his job to ensure a safe workplace for everyone on that set. Above all else.
If he is anything like his brother Daniel i dont like him either, but not liking someone doesnt make them guilty. A lot of ppl just hating without thinking it through.
@@mattdorsey2244 According to IMDB there were 6 other producers, 4 executive producers, a co-producer and a line producer who knew the armorer was not keeping up with her job (which had two parts to it, the armorer part paid better). Prosecutor didn't go after any of the others.
The reason for live ammo on the set was because the crew members had been target practicing with it. It was not a prop gun.
Well thats just plain stupid
Big no no.
Wrong. It was supposed to be a functional prop gun. The armorer fucked up and allowed it to be loaded with live ammo.
Proof?
They said it was not live ammo, did you not watch the entire youtube movie?
Not a big Alec Baldwin fan but this never should have been a case against him.

Prosecutors and Detectives international withhold exculpatory evidence all the time in criminal cases . Poor defendants don't have the resources and high power attorneys to conduct their own investigations, leading to innocent defendants spending decades behind bars.
Does this mean Hannah Gutierrez gets a retrial?
Everybody in the production has a contract that specifies duties and responsibilities. Actors' contract doesn't say anywhere that they have to verify any equipment they use for safety, let alone ammunition. That's why they hired the armorer, whose contract explicitly says that it is her duty on the set to ensure that no gun poses any danger, a contract that she signed and acknowledged.
Im no Baldwin fan by any means but he should have never went to trial. Im sorry for the family's loss. Blame it on the one who brought live ammo on a movie set. Just plain stupid.
Sad situation for everyone involved. I’m glad Alec Baldwin is free
He didn't load the gun , not sure why he was even on trial .
what was live ammo on the movie set????? Isn’t that prop guns should be empty??? I’m glad the judge dismissed the case.👍👍👍
It was a tragic accident, there is no reason for Mr. Baldwin to kill her on movie set. She was basically his coworker. Negligent? Yes. By the person who was in charge of gun safety. But the big question is WHY THEY NEEDED A LIVE AMMO ON MOVIE SET????
I hope lesson was learned.
MAY SHE REST IN PEACE🙏🕊🙏
The armorist and director was negligent. Alec followed procedures. A movie set is not real life, therefore Alec was responsible for following procedures, the procedure was not for him to check the gun. The armorist and director checked the gun and could not tell the difference between live and dummy, why do u think Alex was suppose to know?
@@chrisk2734 I agree with you. There would be more accidents if actors had to "check their own guns." Imagine if in a movie like Saving Private Ryan all the actors had to check their guns, 10 different American and German rifles, pistols, machine guns, sub machine guns. People tell me that many of the guns on the Ryan set were inert, who determines that, not the actors.
To withhold any evidence from the defence, because you want to do that, is so egregious that those folks should be sued. They put Alec and his family through hell, and they also convicted Hannah on falsehood. Hannah must now be freed and her record cleared for justice to be done.
it’s a tragic accident. Not criminal action.
BULLSHIT
He broke every single rule of safe firearm handling and through his gross CRIMINAL negligence, killed a woman. He needs to be held to account!
A terrible mistake
@@chuck7299
How did he accidentally shoot two people?
I agree
It was criminal negligence. The fact that the prosecution butchered the case doesn't change the fact that Baldwin pointed a loaded gun at a person and pulled the trigger. He handled a firearm in a manner that would lead to injury and / or death.
The only thing...in my opinion...is that Alec Baldwin didn't ensure that he was firing at an " object" instead of a person...This actor gun interaction method was changed after the Brandon Lee tragedy back in 1993...
However...Alec Baldwin...was depending on the prop gun personnel to ensure that all prop gun safety measures were being followed and to ensure that the "blanks" were safely loaded into the prop guns and to ensure there were NO live rounds on the set...
@@willielittle9301 he was being directed and following the Directors instructions so she could get the video shot she wanted. I could see a charge if he was being reckless playing around when the Camera was not running. As a Actor he was following the directions and had the expectation, like John Wayne and all other Actors, that NO LIVE ROUNDS allowed on a movie set and 2 people whose duty was to ensure those rules were followed. A tragedy
Yeah he should have never been charged….the one in charge of the props is responsible..he was playing the scene out…who tf put that live round in? My bet is the prop girl who was an expert in guns and ammo and props etc….
Honestly this case should have never been brought. I know some people are hurt because they don't like Alec's politics but I don't care if it was him or Clint Eastwood (he's a conservative Republican) the reason why studios hire firearms experts to check the weapon before handing it to the actor is because THEY ARE ACTORS. Similar on set accidents never resulted in the actor being charged so why now? To make headlines and put a notch on the prosecutors belt. That's not justice
Exactly! I guess his Trump impressions really got under certain people's skin.
@@fangal12 Alex Baldwin is a Democrat and endorsed Barack Obama in his two presidential campaigns. New Mexico was won by Biden by a 10.79% margin of victory which makes it a blue state.

The fault is ultimately on the armorer on set. Thankfully she was convicted but I did see clips of how Alec was handling the prop gun and it did make him look bad. Using the gun as a pointer to point at things. Actors are supposed to treat props as if it’s the real thing and he should know that as a seasoned actor who claimed to be familiar with using prop guns.
Yes!!
LOL. You do realize they use these guns to point and shoot at other actors?

Thank god he is free, case should have never been brought. But it seems it was at extreme cost to Alex and his family.
The question that I have - after 100 years of making movies with guns - why havent they "invented" a gun that only can shoot dummy rounds? So there isnt even a chance a live round can be fired from these guns? Make no sense to me but sure sounds like a market somebody smarter than me could figure out how to make money selling fake guns to movie studios.
They have them, have had them for decades. I have no idea why a real gun was used on set. The prop guns have a tiny bore in the barrel so no bullet can pass through it.
Actually they do have prop guns that only fire blanks, or is disabled and cant be loaded with live ammunition but the gun that was put in Mr Baldwin's hand wasn't a prop gun but a "real" gun that was supposed to have blanks only. And Baldwin's job isn't to load the gun, check the gun for live ammunition or safety.
Prop guns and dummy rounds kill ppl too. Look at Brandon Lee. Tho its extremely rare. Because of the Brandon Lee incident they are supposed to be extra careful on sets with prop guns. The armorer obviously failed
@@AliciaGuitar but this is what I’m saying. If prop guns are used, this girl wouldn’t be dead
What a complete and utter joke of a system. If that was any of us we would’ve been in jail the entire time waiting for court and it definitely wouldn’t have been dismissed.
If it were anybody else, charges wouldn't have been filed. The armorer didn't follow protocol period.
Rich or poor you get you get legal representation that’s a fundamental right in America, so is a fair trial which the prosecutions actions prevented, ergo the trial is no longer valid. This is not a joke it’s the system working as intended. Allowing misconduct to continue would have been a joke
He never should’ve been charged.
Baldwin relied on the expertise of hired professionals. He was no more responsible for this tragedy than Michael Massee, the man who fired the fatal shot that killed Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow.
I feel for him and the turmoil he must have felt all this time..
It never should have gotten that far . It was a Terrible Accident.
He didn’t put the live round in the gun.
I agree however.. he didn’t check it either. It was a real gun on the set and before you put your finger on the trigger you better know there isn’t a bullet in the chamber.
@@FrogWhizzer That's not how guns are normally handled on set. Maybe things will change now, but it's the weapon's expert who is responsible, not the actors.

Just when i lost all respect for our Judicial system….and in NM none the less!

Then THIS Tragedy somehow happened after lunch? The Armorer should have gotten wayyy more time than 18 mo! And fyi, you only serve HALF OF YOUR SENTENCE IN NEW MEXICO!!! Not including “good time”
I agree with this 100% i was shocked to hear she only got 18 months. Ppl get more for weed and drunk driving even when no one died.
It was a sad thing that went down, but in the end Alec is just an actor and has no real gun experience. He was never expecting to be handed a loaded gun.
Someone was paid to screw up.
Live ammo is NOT USED on movie sets. LETS START there. Glad Alec didn't take the fall it was not his fault but a horrific accident of negligence on behalf of the proper master. She went to jail she is the right person to take the fall. now I don't know what karma brought this to Alecs doorstep but damn.
A normal person would have been sentenced to prison on day one 😡
No they would not. You need to increase your understanding of how criminal trials operate.
Lmfao no, a normal person in Alec's situation never goes to trial for manslaughter.
The only reason this even went to trial was because it was Alec and the heavy Republican DA was trying hard to get him. There's a reason they felt a need to hide evidence, it would've been really hard to get a manslaughter charge from a jury in this situation.
What normal person is on a movie set??
@@danielatzert883 the normal person who got killed was on set.
No one was convicted when Brandon Lee shot & died on the set of the Crow. But when it’s a white woman, guess it’s more important. Right?
Baldwin had no culpability here related to the charges. He was the actor, not the firearms specialist or whatever titles are used. Don't automatically conclude that he's guilty just because he's a well known person.
You're retarded! Anyone that owns a firearm knows that you always check a weapon that has been handed to you! That's called safety and common sense!
being an actor doesn't mean 'suspend common sense' . Normal people don't point guns towards people and pull the trigger- you think because is hollywood - therefore suspend reality ? like its 'specially exempt' ? well thats stupidity of the attitude that causes death.
Alec and his ilk shouldn't even be near a gun since they're pretty serious about taking ours away.
The two replies so far to you prove this case wasn’t about justice but punishing Baldwin for having anti right views. Good on the judge for following the law
Anyone with basic gun safety knowledge knows to always check to make sure a gun is loaded even if someone else does it in front of you. It's to create a good habit so you don't have an accident.
This was tragic but I've never felt AB was responsible at all. Its not like he had a gun and was out when trouble started and he shot.
Right decision. Absolutely baseless waste of public funds. It was very clear from the start they were targeting him not because of anything he did but because of who he is.
your stupidity is showing. One day you should pull your nose out of celebrities asses and smell the fresh air of reality.
Right or wrong had nothing to do with the outcome of the case. It had to do with failure to turn over evidence by the prosecution. This ruling was not on the merits but was procedural. It was thrown out on a techincality.

Law enforcement aiding the criminal.

I give zero F's about Alec Baldwin or any Hollywood scumbag actor. But somebody please explain HOW an actor on a movie set can be charging with manslaughter for firing a gun that is supposed to have blanks in it??
The lady who was in charge of the ammo should have been charged. That was NOT Baldwin’s fault.
WAS THIS WHOLE THING DONE ON PURPOSE TO MAKE THE CASE "GO AWAY?"
Of course 🤌🏾 👉🏾👋🏻👈🏾 🤴🏼
Its not for the prosecutor to decide what is relevant. The defense didnt get a chance to view the evidence. The evidence was hidden under a different case number.
Blaming him didn't make much sense. Actors aren't trained on firearms. That's why there's a hired armorer on set whose job it is to check all firearms and clear them as safe before handing them to actors.
Exactly! The people saying that actors should check their own weapons haven't a clue. That would make many more accidents happen. This was a rare accident caused by the armorer not following protocol. With all the guns and action scenes in movies over the last 100 years there is only one other documented incident where someone was shot on the set. Lightning kills several times more people a year as do sharks.
Alec pulled the trigger and lied about it
We will never know. The prosecution accidentally destroyed the gun while they were "testing it." They also conveniently did not provide other evidence that would have helped the defendant. The judge saw how badly the prosecutor had not followed the law in filing this case and threw it out. It should have never been filed and was completely a political hit job. Thank goodness we still have some honest judges.
he is the Anti 2A guy who got rich by using guns and glorifying gun violence in almost every single movie he has been in
Having live rounds on a movie set is crazy. Brandon Lee was killed with a live round on the set. The armory person is the safety person. Are actors required to empty magazines or check every bullet to make sure it’s a blank vs the real thing when a weapon is handed to them for a scene? Y
Of course not bcus they're not trained! That's what experts are hired for - that is their job.
They hired a young, inexperienced armoror - who didn't do her job. They were all about saving money.
It would be chaos if actors were required to check their own weapons and determine a dummy round from a blank or live round. Picture Saving Private Ryan, there were probably 10 different types of German and American pistols, rifles, submachine guns and machine guns on that set. Not to mention the flame throwers and bazookas. That protocol would cause more accidents.
Brandon Lee was not killed by a live round. It was a blank/dummy round!
This is actually like a movie, where the actors are filming a shootout with guns and a deranged person secretly switches blanks for real ammo. Not securing the guns, the ammo, and allowing there to be real bullets anywhere near the set is the biggest reason why this happened.
From what I understand she was killed because she was gonna expose some information people didn’t want exposed
Ridiculous! It would have been a fake su!cide if it was a setup
Someone got paid a lot of money to make this happen.
Anyone else would be in prison
why?
False. Nothing wrong was done here. I could e defended this case myself even,
Anyone else would not even be prosecuted.
@@prostre7005 Anyone else would have been in prison already.
Well, there it is. The Prosecution screwed up so badly. I'm not even a lawyer, and I would know to turn over EVERY piece of evidence in Discovery. Especially any LIVE AMMO in a case that is literally ABOUT live ammo being on the set. How could they possibly think that wouldn't be important? I think the Prosecutor should be fired for this. I can't say if Balwin was guilty or not, because I didn't hear the evidence (just what media wanted us to hear)... but I suspect that he just got VERY lucky.
That means A. Baldwin has nothing to do with the live ammo in the gun that was fired.
Did not see that coming.
Two tiered "just us" system fails again. Alec Baldwin is a "club" member, he's protected and untouchable ....for now
Be quiet!
The armorer was charged for causing this death. Justice WAS carried out here.
I heard that Alec Baldwin diddles kids and Hillary Clinton's pizza parlor.
So??? What about the girl who got convicted? I bet that will get overturned as well...
So in other words, the victim and family of the victim didn’t find any justice at all!! Truly disappointed by this judge!!! Baldwin pulled that trigger!! He killed her literally!!
As an actor, Baldwin was the victim of an unsafe set, and was given a gun loaded with real bullets that should not have been anywhere on that location. He had a substandard weapons master who was burdened with additional duties she should not have had to do other than just focus on gun safety.
As a producer on the film Baldwin is completely responsible for creating an unsafe film set, with a distracted, rookie weapons master who should have been fired after the two accidental discharges of weapons that occurred on that production before the fatal shooting.
Yeah, it makes total sense that the case should be dismissed with prejudice over a single piece of evidence being "witheld" instead of that evidence being given to the defense and the case being continued until the defense had time to recieve and examine it, like would have happened for literally any other defendant in literally any other case.
Sounds like a setup between all in charge including the prosecutor. Involuntary manslaughter is to cover accidents with negligence. The gun grabbers know how to protect their team.
Nope. You’re not a lawyer. & you can’t even spell Brady! Try to read a book for once.
And precedent has now been set on how actor's can get away with killing a person.
conspiracy bullshit. everything is rigged, people secretly planning and scheming bla bla bla instead of the reality that the prosecutor had no real case against him and that he has a real good lawyer.
Brain dead take 🤡
Wait LIVE AMMO on a movie set and NO ONE is accountable? How does that work? He was in charge yes? He's guilty!
Come on, the armorer is serving a prison sentence. Her only job was to assure firearm safety on the set. She was trained by her father who is well known in the industry. She did not follow protocol, and someone was killed. People who don't like Baldwin are now acting like they are judge and jury. He should have never been charged.
The armorer was found guilty and sentenced.
two tier justice, I wonder how much he paid.
⚽️🎾🏀🏈⚽️ Nonsense.
@@KohalaLover because it was his movie, and he pulled the trigger. I used to be a machine operator, as a machine operator it was my responsibility to make sure the machine was safe, and if someone was killed do to negligence I could be criminality charge with manslaughter. If someone accidently runs someone over with their car they could be charged with manslaughter. But i guess If you name is Alex Baldwin you can shoot and kill someone on your own movie set, and walk away free of charge. two tier justice
The armorer on set was convicted.
That is what matters in this case. Live ammo must not be on a movie set. Everybody knows that.
Remember no one is above the law. Oh wait….
Maybe I'm off, but how strange is that Alec was in deep conversations with RFKJr. about everything 'covid mandates', & then, his prop gun is switched to a real weapon.
As it should be. Do you really think he would do this intentionally. Really sad accident.
Thank God. He was not even indirectly responsible for this.
What was a real gun even doing on a movie set?
The armorer messed up. A druggie and had a cavalier attitude about the entire fiasco.
What are real fire trucks doing on the set of Chicago Fire? Realism.
So did the person handed a firearm, and did not check to see it was safe.
There are real guns on movie sets. They usually are empty or loaded with blanks. The armorer did not properly check to see if live rounds were on the set.
@@daveyb1908 For goodness sake, that is NOT the responsibility of the actor. It never has been. It may change now, but at the moment it was the armorer's responsibility and someone handed Baldwin the gun saying it was an empty gun.
Feel free..
Set them free...
Money 💰 for nothing
Jailtime for free..
Hes smiling and feeling good.. how is the victims family feeling ??? So if not Baldwin who the heck is responsible ?????????? 👀
The armorer who is currently serving 18 months in prison. Although, she may have an opportunity to appeal with this new information.
Personally, I think he is responsible as a producer, but as an actor, the fault lies with the armoer
the armorer is who is at fault and she was already convicted.
Really do you have any common sense? Who maintains and checks all the prop fire arms? Jesus Christ bro......
Alec Baldwin sat down with the family and the husband wanted to be an executive producer of the movie after his wife was killed
Imagine that.... Dual justice systems.. One for the wealthy and One for everyone else.
Yes, just ask Trump who literally has paid no price for his crimes.
so he should have been convicted when the prosecution withheld evidencr
@@derrickreed-v7y He was responsible for having live ammo on a movie set. It was his call he was the boss.
@@butchbrown1582 It is the armorer’s job to make sure the guns and ammo are safe. Baldwin was told the gun was “cold”. The armorer was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to eighteen months. She was a druggie and did sloppy work. A nepo baby.
Ridiculous to blame Baldwin.
