"Rust" armorer sentenced to 18 months...

Post by GrapeApe »

... for the death of the director that Alec Baldwin murdered.
His trial is upcoming. I honestly expect him to walk, even though HE pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger. Rich, liberal democrat. He won't be able to donate as much to re-election campaigns if he's in prison

She cleans up nice. She could have made money in others ways than being an armorer.

Stupid got caught in recordings of her conversations from jail saying that this would “ruin her modeling career” and calling the jurors “F_cking Idiots” a bunch of times.

Dad got her the job because nepotism and low budget. She should have never been there. Hey they let her slide on the coke charge.

Slide on the coke
Just like Baldwin will slide on what should be Criminally negligent homicide or something similar.

The shooting is down to the armorer. She was relatively new and untrained. As much as I dislike Baldwin, he should never have been given a loaded weapon. I think accusations or "murder" are ill-informed. I wonder on how a loaded firearm even made it on the set. I think some questions should have been addressed, and perhaps they were in the trial.

The case will never go to court. He'll plead out to a reduced charge.

I sincerely doubt he'll ever be tried on an actual charge. A civil suit, sure... but that was going to happen anyway. To be clear, I wouldn't piss in Baldwin's mouth if his teeth were on fire... but he paid an armorer for a reason. She was his insulation. She preformed that task admirably.

Personally i dont give a damn, , but the reason they have an armorer on the set is to insure that all guns are loaded correctly, in all the movies ive seen at least 10,000 people have been shot, wounded, or killed, and to the best of my knowledge no one has ever died , Baldwin should have been able to pull the trigger 100 times and no one would be hurt, its the fault of the armorer alone for not doing her job.

Just my $0.02
