Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Alec Baldwin: I Feel No Guilt For Shooting My Cinematographer, Because It Was Someone Else Who Really Did ItLike OJ Simpson before him, Alec Baldwin vows to find The Real Killer. I had Alec Baldwin's alibi a bit wrong yesterday, based on the heavily edited clip I saw: He's not saying the gun had a hair trigger. He's now claiming he did not touch the trigger at all. He's saying that he pulled back the hammer, and then was letting it down per the cinematographer's orders -- following the orders of the woman he killed-- to see if it looked right for a shot. I guess his claim is that when he let the hammer down it somehow set off the bullet. I mean, he's claiming he let it down with great care, which would not ignite a bullet, but he's saying somehow this magic bullet was set off by his careful, proper safe letting down of the hammer. This article says it's possible for that to happen, if this was a specific kind of clone of a Single Action Army revolver without a safety, but it's still very unlikely to set off a gun without pulling the trigger. But... he says that you'd still need to really jolt the gun to get the hammer to deliver the striking power to ignite the bullet.Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza identified the gun used in the shooting as a modern Pietta replica of a single-action army revolver. Those guns can be bought either with a transfer bar that makes it impossible for the firing pin to strike the primer unless the trigger is pulled or without one. Often, enthusiasts and collectors prefer the models without modern safety devices because it's more authentic and perfectly safe when handled properly. A single-action revolver usually requires the hammer to be manually cocked, and the trigger be pulled for a shot to be fired. That’s why it's referred to as a single-action: because the trigger performs just one action. It drops the hammer. In a double-action revolver, on the other hand, the trigger can both cock and release the hammer. However, a single-action revolver with the old-style firing mechanism can fire without either the hammer being cocked or the trigger being pulled. When the hammer is down on that kind of revolver, the firing pin protrudes and, if a live round is loaded in the chamber underneath, a sharp enough jolt can cause the pin to strike the round's primer with enough force to set it off. This is why the "cowboy load" was developed. When carrying an old-style single-action revolver, it's best practice to leave the chamber underneath the hammer unloaded. That way, a jolt can't unintentionally set off a round.Still, it seems like he's making some kind of an allegation about this gun being faulty, ready to fire if merely handled slightly. I think it's clear he's claiming the armorer is guilty of some kind of murder or negligent homicide. And I think he's come up with this story after a strategy huddle with lawyers. I think he did not want to admit anything or commit to a story that would leave him without a defense to even lesser charges like criminally negligent homicide -- which probably befuddled his lawyers, who probably thought "If you shoot a woman and everyone sees you do it, you're probably going to be open to some charges" -- and so he concocted a story in which a Magic Gun fires a Magic Bullet all on its own and it's this armorer woman (who I think it's been leaked is a Trump supporter, so you know she's a wrong 'un) is The Real Killer. He also says he feels "no guilt" about killing the woman because it wasn't really him who killed her. And one of The Real Killers is the cinematographer herself, whom Alec Baldwin is very, very insistent in portraying as the person who told him to do every single thing he did, including pointing the gun "in her direction" and cocking the gun. So actually she killed herself. And I still get vibes that he is laying down the foundation for a claim that someone -- he won't say who -- gimmicked or trapped the gun to fire with only the merest touch. He's not saying that. Yet. For now, he's just laying the groundwork. Establishing the predicate. Preparing the battlespace. Making the public receptive to the claim.

Most anyone who's shot a single action knows that if you cock the hammer, but then decide to set it back without firing, it just takes a little slip of your thumb for it to jump back with enough force to discharge the gun. And also to NEVER be pointing that gun at someone while you're trying to slip the hammer back.

Baldwin is making a huge legal mistake (he's scared for his own skin, of course) by blaming it all on the crew - because as Producer, he's financially liable for everything the Crew did. I think the courts are going to agree with the arguments he's making here.
Which is why I believe the legal outcome is going to reflect this, and in the criminal case, Alec Baldwin the actor is going to get off. In the Civil Liability Suit, Alec Baldwin the Producer is gonna end up paying millions to the estate of the deceased. Posted by: Tom Servo at December 03, 2021 01:25 PM (trdmm) 37

A person who held a gun that fired a shot killing another person waits over a month to claim he didn't do anything to or with the weapon that could have caused it to fire?
Yeah, sure. A person believing himself innocent, believing the gun has an unsafe hair trigger, or somehow fired on its own, should have immediately gently set the gun on a soft surface and done everything possible to keep the weapon un-touched by him and everyone else until his lawyer and the police forensic team arrived. Then the lawyer must tell the forensics people they must do everything possible to maintain the weapon in the configuration it is in at the instant they take possession.

Slightly OT. I went down a rabbit hole of AR15 accessory videos on YouTube last night and came across this CBS original documentary on the new pro gun generation. It's about how groups which traditionally vote Democrat like blacks are now realizing the importance of the 2nd amendment. The one major gripe I had with it was they were trying to say that the 2nd amendment community has been toxic towards minorities which in my experience couldn't be further from the truth.

Most anyone who's shot a single action knows that if you cock the hammer, but then decide to set it back without firing, it just takes a little slip of your thumb for it to jump back with enough force to discharge the gun. And also to NEVER be pointing that gun at someone while you're trying to slip the hammer back.
Posted by: Tom Servo at December 03, 2021 01:22 PM (trdmm) You also have to pull the trigger to release it once it's cocked, regardless of whether you want to ease it down or fire it. Posted by: Sponge - Saying Jackson Sparks at December 03, 2021 01:32 PM (Zz0t1) 101

Yes on the old revolver you could set them off by letting the hammer down......HARD....but not gently.
Primers are designed to NOT go off for light taps. They need a HARD punch that dents the metal in order to ignite. If he actually did everything he says he did the discharge was caused by ammunition malfunction however that doesn't clear him of how it was on the set loaded to begin with. He was the one whom presumably allowed a weapon capable of being live fired to be actually used for that purpose while using it as a practical prop on set that included simulated firing, and that by itself is enough to put culpability of the error of it being loaded on him and therefore the resulting discharge and death on him as criminal negligence. He can dodge responsibility as the actor but not the producer. Posted by: mikethemoose at December 03, 2021 01:34 PM (T/vhV) 117

Alec Baldwin thinks he is Paul Ehrlich: The first magic bullet was fired at syphilis on this day in 1909. Although specific diseases responded better to some drugs than to others, before the early 1900s development of Salvarsan, an arsenic-based drug to treat syphilis, drugs weren't developed to target a specific disease. A German biochemist named Paul Ehrlich changed all that when he targeted syphilis, a disease that had plagued Europe for 500 years. It takes a mighty man to rassle with a magic bullet!

Your speech is murder -- Alec's murder is speech.
The Trump supporter aspect combined with Baldwin's know rage issues, yeah, he potentially arranged to kill her ... or maybe just thought he'd intimidate her by pointing the gun at her and pulling the trigger. What seems certain is that he did pull the trigger, and that he was negligent at best (unless he was malicious and murderous ... Murder One in that case).

Costs more. Harder on actors to act. Less convincing to the audience. Because you're going to have a real gun disabled or no as a prop anyway. If you pick up a gun and fire a blank on camera that costs you a dollar. To fire that same round in cgi costs a few thousand, all for something that the audience will find less convincing.

I'll wait for more facts to come out regarding the actions and words exchanged of Baldwin and others at the moment of shooting.
However, regarding the firearm, a Pietta 45 Colt replica of the Single Army Colt, if it had a transfer bar safety which to this date no report has claimed, then even partially cocking the hammer and releasing it with no trigger pull will not result in firing it. In fact, you have to pull the trigger to cause the transfer bar to slide up for the hammer to hit the frame's firing pin. If the firing pin is on the hammer, then it is an unaltered copy of the Single Action Army (these never have used the Colt or S&W trigger blocks which is a different method than the transfer bar safety). There, firing after partially cocking it depends on the strength of the hammer spring and whether the half cock recess on the hammer was engaged. Failing to reach half cock stage makes whether the hammer slipped or not unreliable evidence as to whether the firearm actually fires. True Colt replicas have a 4 click sequence 1st click is the safety notch, 2nd is the half cock notch, 3rd is the cylinder stop as the chamber rotates to under the firing pin, 4th stop engaged.

Please please please please please PUH-LEEZE stop calling a cartridge a 'bullet.'
They're not the same thing. The bullet is the projectile (the part that goes flying downrange). The cartridge is the total assemblage of the case (which holds everything else), the primer, the gunpowder, and the bullet. I don't like being pedantic about shit, and I get it- 'bullet' is often colloquially substituted for 'cartridge' or 'round.' But in this case, we're trying to point out technical information about firearms, and so it I think it's important to be technically correct, and use the proper terminology, else you sound like you're just trying to fake knowing what you're talking about (are you?). I wouldn't take a mechanic who talked about a fuel-injected car's carburetor or called the transmission the engine seriously, and nor can I take very seriously someone who wants to have a technical discussion of the working of firearms while butchering the terminology involved. So please, just stop, and take the time to get it right. Or join CNN. Whichever. Posted by: some guy at December 03, 2021 01:45 PM (6lyOI) 224

Besides leaving on cylinder open to prevent an accidental firing, they also had hammers that could be half cocked. This was a notch in between all the way down and all the way cocked.
It acted as a kind of a safety altho it was possible to jar the hammer out of the half cock notch and that might fire the round depending on how hard the cap or primer was and how much spring action was available at half cock. It was the source of the saying "going off half cocked" because a round fired from half cocked was usually not aimed and thus dangerous. Posted by: jakee308 at December 03, 2021 01:46 PM (ZHNfk) 228

I haven't saved the link(s) but John Schneider "Bo Duke" in the TV series covers this well. Even with a prop gun, let alone a real one that will be loaded with blanks for some scenes HW knows and has rules for all the safety protocols and Baldwin and his crew ignored almost all of them.

Donald Trump Jr on Alex Baldwin: "Is anyone shocked at this piece of garbage anymore? As if the phone calls to his daughter weren't bad enough," Trump Jr. tweeted. "He's a lib so he gets chance after chance to be decent but always fails!" Oh wait, that's from 2018 -- before Alex Baldwin murdered a woman.

If he wanted to lower the hammer, he had to grab the hammer spur and then PULL THE TRIGGER TO RELEASE THE HAMMER.
I don't know if he doesn't realize it, or he's hoping most of the people he wants to convince won't know that. On one side he pulled the trigger and it fired. On the other he didn't grab the hammer properly before pulling and bang. Either way, he pulled the damn trigger. Posted by: Firehand at December 03, 2021 01:48 PM (tc9Hx) 256

242 Baldwin has a long history rage and rants that are infantile at best.
After this first incident, he talked about how he and his wife were very close to Halyna and her husband. Had dinner together, etc. Now he is basically blaming her and the gun. You can see the bloat of a angry, guilty man in his face. No judge can set that free.

It appears they were blocking and working out the scene and typically, even with digital cameras, you wouldn't record the blocking.
That is not to say others weren't caputuring it on some other device, they may have.

How many live rounds were in the revolver? I mean, if it was one, he had a 1 in 6 chance of something bad happening unless he repeated cocked the hammer and pulled the trigger negligently. Even to let the hammer down carefully he had to pull the trigger, so he's lying if he says he didn't.
Posted by: G'rump928(c) at December 03, 2021 01:40 PM (yQpMk) Could well be six, since there are claims that third parties took guns out to 'target shoot' and that the armorer, such as she was, was often not present with the weapons due to COVID rules on the set. Posted by: Oldcat at December 03, 2021 01:52 PM (eoQWY) 279
OK lets all stop pretending that its unthinkable and impossible for a mechanical device to malfunction. Its not outside the realm of possibility that the gun went off accidentally without him pulling the trigger.
The problem here isn't that, its that he didn't think of mentioning this until you know, weeks later. After giving multiple other excuses in the interim. And making other absurd, crazed statements. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 03, 2021 01:52 PM (KZzsI) 280

>>I dunno, when you're working out a scene on a set, aren't you also working on where the actors stand, their marks, as it were, etc? Even digital cinematography is expensive and time consuming to setup and capture. The director and cinematographer would capture blocking and setup in their notebooks. The DP would typically setup the LUTS in the camera and focus in camera or in a program like Davinic Resolv or other program if shooting digitally or work with an assistant to set up a film camera. You can do tests but this film was a low budget film so you wouldn't be shooting tests of the blocking. Posted by: Thomas Bender at December 03, 2021 01:57 PM (Ls9Kq) 322

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, holy crap, John Ford made a lot of movies in the 1930s at December 03, 2021 01:30 PM (LvTSG) Ditto, film is too expensive and requires a lot of additional experts. Doesn't seem likely on the shoestring budget these guys had. The RAW footage can compensate for even the worst lighting and white balance. No doubt, Bladwin would have wanted to color grade this for dramatic effect as well. A stand alone cine camera from Canon or Blackmagic always has at least 2 if not 3 memory slots, so you'd be nuts to not have your redundant backup in place, if not also recording directly to an external HD if you were professional about it, and have all cameras available on a single device for playback. I just don't see at least one camera not rolling if he was "practicing" then that usually means everybody is "practicing". I just hope he's stupid enough to think that formatting a card was all he needed to do. Or maybe not be aware of any redundant recordings.

Here is what it looks like. Alec is a sociopath lying his way through culpability in order to provide some cover for his sociopathic communist friends to get him off the hook which he thinks they will do because he still has use to the uniparty, (or believing his past service to the uniparty is enough to get him a mea culpa, but communism usually doesn't even work on a "what have you done for me lately" basis rather a "what can I still expect to get from you" basis) and he might not be wrong. All he has to do is provide the lie, and they will decide whether or not to use it to get him out of hot water. It may even have come down to "pssst.... Hey your original lie wasn't good enough use this one instead and we can get you off the hook."

Posted by: Dworkin Barimen - anarcho-tyranny? you're soaking in it! at December 03, 2021 01:57 PM (cSs/W) Exactly. Let's say that he didn't pull the trigger, that somehow, some way a single action revolver pulled its own trigger. Still, 2 things had to happen for the gun to kill somebody. 1) He had to physically pull back the hammer on the gun. It's not a double action gun, so he actually had to cock it, otherwise it cannot fire. 2) He had to point it directly at a human being. #1 lesson in gun safety is you do not point a weapon at something you do not intend to destroy.

From a couple of days ago:
275 This is psychopathic. He's in a room with the director and the DP, and he shoots both of them. That's not in dispute. You can argue that he was given a gun that had the wrong ammo in it, pass it off on someone else, and be able to sleep at night. Still, you have a lot of culpability there, but you can live with that. How can you possibly say that an inanimate object went off by itself and live with yourself? How can you possibly look the DP's widower in the face and say that, knowing that it's flat-out untrue? Let a defense lawyer make that assertion. How can you possibly say that yourself? Posted by: Darrell Harris Because it was coming out that the script that they were supposedly practicing did not have him fire the weapon in the scene. He is denying pulling the trigger because that makes it depraved indifference or manslaughter (as well as potentially letting insurers off the hook if intentional bad act) if he was pointing, aiming, and pulling the trigger at and when the script did not require him to do so.

He aimed the gun at those people because he was mad at them and he was dicking around. That is *clearly* manslaughter. The unlawful killing of a human being without any deliberation, which may be involuntary, in the commission of a lawful act without due caution and circumspection.

OK lets all stop pretending that its unthinkable and impossible for a mechanical device to malfunction. CRT
Without the actual firearm used, it is impossible to determine that. Uberti's replica at issue makes it more unbelievable as those use modern metallurgy and have a higher standard of reliability than an original first or second generation SAA Colt. A Third generation Colt would be about equal. You might want to also take a gander at the Click system of Colts and the procedure for revolver cylinders locking and unlocking to allow rotation. There is a relatively small window during this rotation where the cartridge is in firing position and the primer is directly under the firing pin. It takes a pretty good hit on the primer to actually crush the primer anvil for firing. Off center hits on the shoulder etc typically do not get it done. So it is possibly vaguely that the stars lined up just wrong enough for an out of time, damaged Single Action might fire with the hammer alone. But without a demonstration of that firearm doing that, the odds are tremendously against it. Posted by: whig at December 03, 2021 02:10 PM (9hXN1) 409

He is denying pulling the trigger because that makes it depraved indifference or manslaughter (as well as potentially letting insurers off the hook if intentional bad act) if he was pointing, aiming, and pulling the trigger at and when the script did not require him to do so.

Posted by: sniffybigtoe Movie is a bit misleading as is the hype, Carbine Williams was a talented designer but his main contribution to the Carbine was the short stroke piston system. Same as the William's floating chamber for the Colt Ace which was a .22 LR version of the famous 1911. Bits and pieces of the .30 Carbine came from various sources such as the bolt is a scaled down version of the M1 Garand and the cartridge was derived from an old Winchester self loading cartridge.

From limited contact and experience it is my opinion that it takes being basically sociopathic to be a good actor. Or, at least, its a profession in which sociopaths are common and can excel. Like politics. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 03, 2021 02:27 PM (KZzsI) 508
Baldwin must be counting on getting the prosecutor to let up so that his version becomes the only one. There is at least one surviving witness - the guy he shot as well - that can give a lie to everything he said, and likely others in the crew as well.

Maybe I missed a comment on this, but if the gun is cocked, you can't let the hammer down on a single action revolver without squeezing the trigger. It isn't that difficult, however, for the thumb to slip while lowering the hammer, thus permitting the hammer to fall with enough force to fire the cartridge. In any event, lowering the hammer of a cocked revolver is yet another thing you don't do while pointing the gun at somebody.

I have suspected that she is pumping out kids as part of a plan to be a top mommyfluencer and build a social media empire as a busy mom who does it all and still looks great in yoga pants. She should get out before he takes her down with him, and build a brand as a Phoenix rising from the ashes of her former life as a single mommyfluencer. If she were smart. No way she does not have dirt on him being volatile to her she could use in divorce proceedings. No way. Posted by: LizLem at December 03, 2021 02:34 PM (+mkOR) 532

"I think he did not want to admit anything or commit to a story that would leave him without a defense to even lesser charges like criminally negligent homicide."
This was evident from the very first tweet he made about the incident. One that he worded just-so, with the same legally analyzed verbiage that tiptoes around implication -- IMMEDIATELY AFTER his so-called friend died at his hands. "This tragedy that happened." "Distraught that this occurred to her." He's exactly the narcissist you'd expect him to be from all the roles he plays.

Initial reports were that the shot came when Baldwin was annoyed at having to reshoot a scene and had just said "maybe I'll just shoot both of you," presumably not meaning that he would shoot them with a live round, but clearly suggesting that he might pretend to shoot them by going through the actions of shooting at them with a real gun he thought was unloaded.
That doesn't square with his story now that they were actually deep into the details of working out the re-shoot. Plus there is another earlier story, told by Baldwin himself, where he said he was practicing his draw or his cross-draw when the gun went off. Very different from his story now about a static pose where his victim is supposedly instructing him on how he needs to be pointing his gun right at her.

"this armorer woman" was responsible for a real gun loaded with real bullets being present on set (instead of a prop gun, or a real gun not loaded, or a real gun loaded with blanks, any of which would have been acceptable and are standard practice under varying circumstances).
So, yes, "this armorer woman" is indeed the one responsible for the deaths. Alleged support for Trump does not excuse criminal stupidity. Posted by: rold at December 03, 2021 07:29 PM (lKLPq) 547
