State to Expose Baldwin's Reckless Conduct!
Jun 20, 2024
Attorney Andrew F. Branca

New Mexico has charged actor Alec Baldwin with reckless manslaughter over his shooting dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the low-budget western movie "Rust."   

Baldwin's immediate conduct that results in the firing of the bullet that killed Hutchins ought to be enough, on the legal merits, to support his conviction beyond any reasonable doubt--he (obviously) never checked to ensure there was no live ammo in the gun, he pointed what he knew to be a real gun directly at Halyna Hutchins, he manipulated the hammer of the gun while doing so, and he arguably manipulated the trigger at the same time.  BLAM!

Prosecutors, however, want to introduce evidence of Baldwin's firearm recklessness beyond this conduct immediately proximate to the gun in his hand discharging into Hutchins. They also want to introduce evidence of Baldwin's reckless firearms conduct--and misconduct--in the days immediately proceeding the shooting.

Normally, evidence of "prior bad acts" for which the defendant is not charged is presumptively inadmissible in court--but Prosecutor Kari Morrissey is arguing that THESE prior bad acts are an exception, and in the motion we'll cover today she explains to the court exactly why. 

THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!

There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there. Some are hot garbage. Some have limited resources. Some are simply, in my view, untrustworthy. But there is ONE that I PERSONALLY TRUST to protect myself and my family.
