Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Trial: Defense Opening Statement
Defense attorney Alex Spiro tells the jury in his opening statement: "This was an unspeakable tragedy, but Alec Baldwin committed no crime. He was an actor, acting." Spiro also emphasized that everyone thought the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was just a prop.

Not guilty. He relied on the rest of the crew to do their job & they didn’t. He is innocent.
Does she feel threatened by his opening statement? That is so unprofessional for her to interrupt his opening statement. He didn’t do that to her
This is the most ridiculous case I’ve ever heard of… He’s an actor on a set that was handed a gun for a scene… Now he’s being charged with manslaughter? What am I missing??
I bet he'll walk no doubt
They should bring in an interpreter for his Spanish wife.
As a former armorer, my job was to ensure safety & that the weapons & ammo I distributed would work properly. This is opposite. Not Alec’s fault. Yet it isn’t the armorer’s fault. She wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between live ammo & not. It is a low budget movie fault. Using a gun with live rounds interchangeably as a prop gun. Someone is trouble, and it isn’t Alec, nor the armorer. It is those responsible for supplying the props & getting that mixed up.
Thanks for the update!
He is not killed he was just doing a scene in a movie, he is not guilty of murder.
I think it’s so dumb they’re even doing this is the first place. Obviously he didn’t mean to do it. Pure Accident. Period. Not Guilty!!!!
The only thing he is guilty of is being a producer who approved the prop master and armorer, relying on hearsay regarding the capabilities and previous training. The inability and lack of expertise as an armorer, to do her job safely is what the focus should be. Of course he pulled the trigger. It was part of his character. She and inly she is responsible.
What about those who walked off saying it was Unsafe.
Kelly... you're such a crybaby! Now you are acting just like Hannah's attorney!! Calling for Bar when Defense goes way over your head! Sara Zachary should have never been let go. She threw away more real bullets. I think this was a set up of some kind, for some reason.
This is a ridiculous charge
That prosecutor is so unprofessional. I cannot believe how many times she interrupts his opening statement.
He was a producer on the movie also so, the line that he was just doing his job as an actor nothing more should not wash. He went cheap and this was the deadly result of that. Even if that can't be a legal argument, he still did not check his gun himself and he was the one who fired it. He's guilty of manslaughter.
Wow are we star struck usually there is one court tv lawyer at each trial not this one there are already 3 in New Mexico and vinney said he was heading up there next week what is going on lol
this is a waste of New mexico's time, money and resources. Alec didn't do anything wrong. but I can guarantee you actors will be checking from now on
It’s the armorer’s fault. Period, end of story.
For all the people saying "not guilty" because it was an accident. That's literally the definition of involuntary manslaughter! Also when a driver hits and kills a pedestrian they usually end up going to jail even though it was an "accident". How is this any different?
