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. 😠

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.Anonymous wrote: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

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.
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.

Could he have permanently deleted something crucial or does all phone data exist somewhere in a cloud (on a server somewhere = another warrant?)?
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.
