Alec Baldwin is once again facing charges for the tragic shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. But he has some big defenders.
Last week a grand jury in New Mexico decided once again to indict the 30 Rock alum for involuntary manslaughter for firing the shot that killed his DP. The case has ignited a national conversation about guns in movies. How responsible is the actor for firearm safety? It’s not a clear-cut issue. That will likely be the key point of debate in the trial — after all, no one denies Alec was aiming the gun, just how culpable he should be for a real killing when he was rehearsing a fake shooting.

Well, on that score Baldwin got a sizable stalwart in his corner on Thursday. SAG-AFTRA put out a statement saying he should absolutely NOT be held liable:
The union continued:
Wow. That kind of says it, doesn’t it? The statement goes on to put the onus completely on armorers — making clear they are NOT defending Hannah Gutierrez-Reed:
Wow. SAG itself saying actors are not expected to be responsible for checking barrels and identifying ammunition. That goes against what some movie stars have come out and said — but we reckon it’s enough to win over a juror or two. After all, it’s the job of the Santa Fe District Attorney to convince them Alec was negligent. If the experts say he wasn’t, well… All you need is one juror to stop a conviction, right?
