I thought all of this was behind us...they just will not give up. As I recall, a majority of folks on this forum were very much "against" Alec Baldwin. I am totally on his side on this and do not believe he should be charged with anything....Let the fireworks begin, so to speak.

@Kachina624

What is your opinion of this?

I read an AOL article about his indictment just now.

It seems to me that there is more involved here. Something having to do with maybe an affair or like that. But we don't have any information on the personal circumstances.

Nor will we maybe until a long time from now.

Wonder if they ever did or will uncover as to why there were live rounds in that gun. Bet he wishes he hadn't done so many interviews and made so many statements abt the incident . Also, thought all was done with this case since the family received some monetary settlement .

News reports said there were videos of him firing the gun which lead to this indictment .

Complete waste of time and money. The person responsible for the props is the prop master, not the actor. Period. End of story.

Sorry she's not going to get a prosecutor in front of tv cameras and embellish a lawyer's career like Alec will, but that's who you hang.

Should have been done way before now if it hasn't already.

@Kachina624

Thanks for the update 😀

I personally think he is responsible 🤔
As far as this being over, i hardly think so .

Why would any actor in a movie be responsible for checking out the props? Why was there even a real gun there? In hindsight sure he should have but wasn't his job. He should have apologized and offered his condolences to the family and kept quiet. The persons in charge should be indicted.

@LTT1 What does a supposed affair (sounds like gossip not fact) have to do with any of this?

Re: Alec Baldwin Indicted

Shelbelle — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 20:23:12 GMT

I dont think he should be charged with anything, it was not his job to check the gun once it was handed to him by someone else on the set. Just a terrible tragic accident and turn of events.

I think he's a jerk, but not because of this. He doesn't treat people well.

My personal opinion is he was careless. Unfortunately he was the one who pulled the trigger and took a life, and I can't imagine how he really feels about that.

Why were there real bullets in the gun?

There is a lot I don't understand. I guess we will find out.

I don't think he should be charged for this.

I think they're going after him because he's a celebrity who a lot of people don't like. I don't think that he's responsible for what happened to that poor woman.

@Love my grandkids

@Boehm Collector

I'm sorry! Was this an issue for you?

Maybe I just have a vivid imagination but

An internet article I read way back when all of this happened implied that the situation "might have" involved a love triangle.

I know, I know...everything on the internet is truth...NOT❤️

I think it was about his likeability and denial he pulled the trigger. The woman that was in charge was 24 and this was her first assignment. Apparently, there had been many corners cut due to finances. Did he know the ammo was live, I doubt it.

Also, I think it is about accountability. He was the producer and the jury felt he was liable for what occurred. I am sure he is going to appeal this ruling, so we shall see what happens. I don't know what evidence the jury had that we didn't see. Time will tell.

@beach-mom

I agree 👍...."jerk" 💯

In my opinion he is responsible!

Hypothetically, (people who say he's not responsible, or not his job .

Would they feel the same way if that was there beloved family member?

Apparently, the jury saw evidence that we didn't. Posters can only speculate what happened and what they had access to.

Someone needs to held responsible, and I guess Alec Baldwin is considered to be one of those held accountable. I don't agree or disagee because I wasn't there. I don't feel sorry for him, though, because of his arrogance.
