Did Alec Baldwin Do Anything Wrong In The Rust Shooting?

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the ongoing trial of Alec Baldwin, who faces charges of involuntary homicide following the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins on a movie set. Faddis expresses skepticism about the criminal case, suggesting that civil court might be more appropriate for such an incident. The conversation delves into issues of firearm safety and accountability on film sets, questioning the extent of responsibility that should be placed on actors versus professional armory staff. Faddis emphasizes that while Baldwin, as an actor, should not be expected to have extensive firearms training, his apparent lack of attention during a brief on-set training session might negatively impact his defense. The broader discussion considers whether increased training for all actors handling prop guns is necessary, given the rarity of such fatal incidents. Ultimately, Faddis believes Baldwin’s actions may be seen as reasonable within the context of his role and industry norms.
