I strongly dislike Alec but wouldn't read much into his refusal to turn over his phone beyond what we already know. He's being uncooperative and he's not being forthcoming, but from the standpoint of his attorneys, they probably want to do whatever possible to slow the progress of the investigation into Alec’s actions and to muddy the legal waters in any way possible. The start reality is that Alec shot someone and that could have serious repercussions that he likely wants to avoid.

Sounds like I should read all of that into his refusal: slow the investigation, muddy the waters, avoid repercussions.

I think most people who shot and killed someone, and had a lot of money to pay defense attorneys, would take this course of action. Alec is maintaining that the gun magically fired in his hands-- a statement that strains credulity. Of course he wants to slow the investigation, etc. Any reasonable person would.

The gun had already magically fired a couple days earlier.

There are lots of facts. You only seem to be aware of some of them rather than all of them.

This morning I heard on the new the armorer is suing the prop supplier. Still at the end of the day it was her job, and she was suppose to know a live round from a dummy.

Baldwin may share some responsibility as a producer, but as a actor he is suppose to be assured all the equipment/props are safe beforehand. It's not the actors job to check the vehicles, or any other equipment on a set. Young or not she screwed up royally.

Whoaaaaa. Video simulation of shooting included in this article — he straight up shoots Halyna. Her family is dropping hammer on him.

Halyna Hutchins' husband and son are suing Alec Baldwin and others associated with production of Western Rust after the actor shot her dead
Lawyers claims 'reckless behavior and cost-cutting' led to cinematographer's death in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in October 2021
Complaint alleges Baldwin had 'refused' training for the kind of gun draw he was doing when he accidentally shot Hutchins
A video created by the attorneys showed a 3D animated recreation of the shooting
It shows a computer-generated avatar representing Baldwin accepting the Colt from David Halls, pointing it in Hutchins' direction, and firing
The animation shows that the bullet in the chamber was live and not a 'dummy' with a hole drilled into it. The round strikes Hutchins, who clutches her chest and collapses in the video
Baldwin, who was seen out in New York City's West Village on Tuesday, has not commented on the lawsuit

You are saying two things at once. As an actor it is NOT his responsibility to check. That is the job of the prop master or armorer.

NP. I think they're saying the actor is supposed to be assured by the armorer that all the equipment/props are safe beforehand, not that they are responsible for it.

You have reading comprehension issues.

I don’t think anyone has ever disputed her shot her. From day one that’s been what was in the news. The question is who is liable? Alec? Armorer? Supplier? Producers? Director? Etc. Notice they’re suing the deep pockets and not the 24 yr old whose job it was to supply a nonoperable weapon.

Halyna Hutchins' husband was interviewed by Hoda Kotb. Part of it aired on the Today show, and more is to be shown in the third hour of Today, with the full interview streaming.

Summary: He's mad and he's not going to take it.

At least, that's what I understand is the gist, I haven't watched it and PP didn't give any details or information about what was said.

Has anyone read the arbitration demand that Alec Baldwin filed?
Here it is: https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Baldwin-Rust-FINAL-JAMS-FILED-Indemnification-Complaint2142.pdf

There's a lot of good information here, including his statement that he is familiar with working with guns. Nevertheless, he accepted a gun from someone who was NOT the armorer.
He pointed a gun that was NOT cleared by an armorer, at a PERSON. That is a no-no. But what do we know? He is the expert and that's how he killed someone.

I have been reading that the victim’s husband is suing Alec & that Alec is now verbally absolving himself of any responsibility for what occurred.

I also read that he feels he is “protected” from being sued + that he even is going so far as to claim it was the victim’s fault that she got shot and thus killed. 😠

Alec needs to refrain from speaking publicly about any of this, but he just can't stop himself.

Looks like they are trying to arbitrate the wrongful death lawsuit brought on by the husband. This is the typical process whereby he'll receive a settlement from Alec's ins. company. This is a interesting article. And sadly Alec should have never commented on this case from day 1. Usually you let the lawyers handle all that.

I do think that Armorer bears a lot of it. She had most of the responsibility, but as for safety there are also others that are responsible for that.

Like every lawsuit it will be settled. Apparently there will be no criminal charges.

Yes settlement is where this is all going. Then it will die.
