The comments by the producer and actor himself was that it was an accident. Later on his national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rxApeXQzdfM\">ABC Exclusive Interview<\/a> with  <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/George_Stephanopoulos\">George Stephanopoulos<\/a>, Baldwin would insist that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fob6L-AXuOg.\">did not pull the trigger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a learned cynic of the media and politics, I naturally leaned towards Baldwin trying to influence the jury pool with the help of friends from his media circle of influence. Baldwin is a very politically involved supporter in the Democratic Party.  Stephanopoulos has an established pedigree in the political circles of the Democratic Party and the former Bill Clinton Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family of the cinematographer deserves the right to seek <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/alec-baldwin-entertainment-business-shootings-new-mexico-39573f76042e71fc5f4fba9f36743bbc\">due process<\/a> in the judicial system. Let&#8217;s hope that this judicial process does not become a political or social media trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"922\" src=\"https:\/\/countrytalkstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-12.25.05-AM-1024x922.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1629\" srcset=\"http:\/\/countrytalkstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-12.25.05-AM-1024x922.png 1024w, http:\/\/countrytalkstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-12.25.05-AM-470x423.png 470w, http:\/\/countrytalkstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-12.25.05-AM-768x692.png 768w, http:\/\/countrytalkstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-12.25.05-AM-1536x1383.png 1536w, http:\/\/countrytalkstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-16-at-12.25.05-AM-2048x1845.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 The family of a&nbsp;<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/halyna-hutchins-cinematographer-dead-d5e1671e61d7b38e225489680f3f1901\">cinematographer shot and killed<\/a>&nbsp;on the set of the film \u201cRust\u201d sued Alec Baldwin and the movie\u2019s producers Tuesday alleging their \u201ccallous\u201d disregard in the face of safety complaints led directly to her death.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At a news conference announcing the lawsuit, attorneys for the husband and 9-year-old son of Halyna Hutchins said that Baldwin refused training for the type of \u201ccross-draw\u201d he was performing when he fired the shot that killed her.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Baldwin\u2019s attorney responded that any claim the actor was reckless is \u201centirely false.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news of Producer\/Actor Alex Baldwin allegedly killing his cinematographer on set for his new movie at a Santa Fe, New Mexico ranch on October 21, 2021 at around 12:50 pm controlled the U.S. media for a few days.
