BREAKING: Alec Baldwin to be charged with involuntarymanslaughter in fatal Rust shooting
The announcement of the charge comes over two years after AlecBaldwin shot and killed 42-year-old cinematographer HalynaHutchins and injured director Joel Souza with a live round from aprop gun.
Not exactly. Weapon handling protocol. He violated it. Anytime one takes control of a weapon, it is that persons responsibility to verify the weapons status. Not the armorer, not the camera person, not the bus driver... It is solely on the individual (Baldwin) who takes control of the weapon the very second it is in his/her hand. Baldwin was taught this earlier in his career. He knows and understands the requirements. He didn't do the verification process? Cross examination will answer that. No matter how hard his defense tries to spin his story, This woman's death is solely on Baldwin. No one else.
IF he didn't verify, then he is facing manslaughter. If under cross examination he says he verified the weapon, then he's facing murder charges.... how this story unfolds!!
