Alec Baldwin Goes Ballistic After Being Charged - His Defense Is Ruined

Alec Baldwin's defense against involuntary manslaughter charges has more holes than Swiss

cheese, folks. And we're about to get into it right here on Explain America. I'm your host

Carmine Sabia. I want to thank you for joining us for another edition of Explain America

to help the channel and conservative media grow. We really appreciate it. Baldwin, however

may not appreciate it because he probably doesn't want people to hear this kind of stuff. He issued a press release after he was charged with involuntary manslaughter, and he blamed

everybody but himself. So he called it a miscarriage of justice. He said as an actor

and here's a key word here, as an actor, he had no reason to believe there were live

rounds in the firearm that killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Now, in a number of ways, this differs from, well, let's start, it differs from his previous defense

which was he never pulled the trigger. He didn't say that in this press release because the FBI

has concluded the trigger was pulled, and the district attorney has concluded that the trigger

was pulled. That aside, the district attorney also said that she spoke to many Hollywood

celebrities, including A-list actors, who said that they always check the gun or have somebody

check the gun in front of them before they use the gun on set to make sure there's no live rounds

I mean, after what happened to Brandon Lee, you can never be too careful, and that was a long time

ago. But even that is not the crux of Baldwin's defense and why it's so shoddy. Baldwin said in

the press release through his attorney, as an actor, but Baldwin was not just an actor, he was

a producer, therefore making him responsible for what happens on the set of the movie. So he's not

just acting in an actor's capacity here, he's acting also in a producer's capacity. That opens

him up to possible more legal liability. Now he's already facing the potential of 18 months in prison

if convicted on these charges. There's a chance he can get convicted and not do any prison time

There's a chance, of course, that he'll be found innocent. As always, people are innocent until

proven guilty. But, and I wish he would extend that to President Trump, but he doesn't. But

his defense, like I said, it appears to be already changing. And that's problematic

for the actor-producer. Because you're going to have to, people, your words, you know

can and will be used against you, right? He's going to have to take these words to court

and they're going to say, okay, well, as an actor, maybe you weren't responsible, but as a producer

were you responsible? And what happened to you? You didn't pull the trigger. That defense suddenly vanished. So what's that about? Baldwin's got a tough road ahead of him

and the family of Helena Hutchins actually celebrated the news that somebody's going to

be held accountable. Somebody's going to be held responsible for what happened to their beloved

wife and mother and daughter. So, you know, this is going to be a case to watch for quite a while

here, for a long time to come. I think a lot of people were stunned that he was even charged

including myself. So again, this is going to be an interesting case to watch. In any event

you can hear all about it here at Explain America. We'll be covering it. So please, again, make sure

you like, you comment, you subscribe, and you share. And we really want to read your comments

on this. Was he overcharged? Was he undercharged? Should he have not been charged? Let us know what

you think. Also, guys, again, please follow us at Explain America on Facebook. And we love you guys

God bless you. Take care, everybody
