Baldwin "The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger."

Kinda like Slick Willie not knowing he had inappropriate relations with Monica...

Hey now!!!

Billie said he did NOT have relations with that lady.

I think the word he used was woman, not even giving her the status of "lady".

That may be. I'm not sure of movie hierarchy, if the buck stops with the Producer. If so, then very likely...civil of course.

Prosecutors routinely refer to genuine accidents as "criminal negligence".

As Dadsmith mentioned the round is not in battery until Full cock position. This colt only rotates between 1/4 & 1/2 a cartridge diameter at half cock and not complete rotation to battery until full cock. So anyway you look he pulled the hammer completely back with his flicker in full mash on the trigger before AD.

I'm not familiar with the gun in question... If a round is not ready to fire at half-cock, why is there a half-cock position?

The half cock position allows free spin of the cylinder. It's for loading and unloading the revolver.

They can, but they certainly don't have to. Seen it time after time.

And it changes the point of index from the firing pin to the loading gate...

2020 is doing some heavy spade work for Baldwin right now...

 

[DadSmith]

Thanks that explains it a lot better.
My son has a Ruger Vaquero I've shot a few times. Are they considered a SAA also?

 

[Mongo59]

Yes, the Vaquero is a SA but marketed as a "western style" pistol bot a SAA. I would guess there is a legal reason in there somewhere.

With the old Smith's you could tell the SA from the DA/SA from far off just from the profile. The SA have the trigger situated to the back of the trigger guard and the DA/SA have it more toward the middle.

It is good to know that Sam Colt, back in 1973, would know Alec to be a liar...

At this point, it appears Baldwin has killed more people than the entire group of protesters at the capitol building yet fewer than the mostly peaceful protesters of 2020.

So is he getting charged all?

Doubt it. The state hasn't made any indication they're going to and while the family sued, seems likely they could settle out of court.

he already said he did not pull the trigger. The gun just went boom!

ya should be blaming the evil gun.

People choose Money over Justice, then wonder how things got so bad.

I just gave this post a like because I couldn’t simultaneously say I loved you saying it and hate what it means for society…

Deep Down I feel a conspiracy where the civil plaintiffs have already stuck a deal with Baldwin to work together to con the insurance payoff.

This.

Why Baldwin wasn't charged under statute is a travesty of justice, but like Denny said, no one says the prosecutor has to uphold the law. Plenty of examples of that everyday.

Like school boards, I'm hoping people pay more attention to and demand more info about leadership that they are voting for in the future.

The shooting is not the only thing Baldwin needs to worry about.

Even if he doesn't go to jail, he may be out of work. The actor in that video clip was MUCH better than Baldwin ever was.
