The Alec Baldwin defense *for the win*

[midnight rambler]

"While I may have been the one holding the revolver, the one cocking the hammer back (it was a single action army type revolver meaning it has to have the hammer positively pulled back before firing), and the one who actually pulled the trigger which fired the projectile which killed our director of photography, Ms. Hutchins...BUT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE! I was relying on someone else to determine whether or not the gun was loaded with live ammo! I didn't do anything wrong! There can be NO culpability on my part!"

This is one of those points where the fantasy world of Hollyweird is imported into the real world.

I think I'm gonna start using the Alec Baldwin defense wherever I can.

It was a snuff film.

Don't know if there is any merit but I read somewhere in comments that he was banging her. Something went wrong and she or someone threatened to tell his wife. It seemed well researched and I should have copied it at the time. I have not read anything similar since so it's being scrubbed or not true.
