The testing was to see if it would fire without pulling the trigger. They must have given it very rough treatment trying to get it to fire on it's own.philip964 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 3:15 pm https://ktla.com/entertainment/ap-grand ... ew-mexico/
Alec indicted by NM grand jury for involuntary manslaughter.
The fact that the gun was broken by the FBI during testing to me is problematic for the prosecution. After the gun was fixed it fired when the trigger was pulled. How do you break a gun testing to see if it fires when the trigger is pulled. Is the FBI covering for a liberal? Was it under orders?

In my opinion, they charged the right people.

If Kim Potter can get 2 years for an accidental shooting, Baldwin should get at least as much time.

You make some very good points. Here's another.Rafe wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 9:50 amsrothstein wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 10:28 pm Why do I have no trouble at all believing that Alec Baldwin really thinks the gun went off without his pulling the trigger? No one who knows anything about guns, even if it was just their toy guns from when they were kids, would believe that but I can believe Alec Baldwin does.
And it was not an old, period-piece firearm with potentially worn parts. It was a new Pietta look-a-like Long Colt. And it was a single-action revolver. If the hammer cocked itself and then the trigger pulled itself, analog mechanical devices have come alive and are about to take over the world."The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger," Baldwin told George Stephanopoulos.
But I can believe that Baldwin either doesn't believe he pulled the trigger or blanked in from his memory (in other words, lying but has convinced himself he isn't). He was evidently rehearsing a cross-draw at the time, and once fully cocked the Pietta may have a trigger-pull as light as 2 or 3 pounds. If he cocked the hammer as part of the draw stroke, he may have "placed" his finger inside the trigger guard for "practice" and "touched" the trigger...which to his anti-gun, untrained, uninformed brain isn't the same thing as pulling the trigger. Kinda like cracking a tail light in a parking lot and saying, "But I hardly even tapped the light post!"
P.S. ABC News giving Alec Baldwin a prime-time network slot to be interviewed about the shooting by George Stephanopoulos. That right there is a nauseating combination from all possible angles..."Guns don't just go off," Sheriff Adan Mendoza told Fox News Digital. "So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands."
If he didn't pull the trigger, why didn't he say that back in October?

The gun, which was fired by Alec Baldwin on the set of the movie Rust, may have even been loaded with live rounds when it was used for what was essentially target practice, TMZ reported.
