Um, safety is her number one priority on set... but she has no idea where live rounds came from? Sounds like safety is not, in fact, her number one priority."Safety is Hannah’s number one priority on set," her attorneys said in a statement to the outlet. "Ultimately this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced. Hannah has no idea where the live rounds came from."
I think looking trashy is her number one priority. Everyone has something they're good at.Um, safety is her number one priority on set... but she has no idea where live rounds came from? Sounds like safety is not, in fact, her number one priority.
She is good at that!I think looking trashy is her number one priority. Everyone has something they're good at.
I'm beginning to think a random group of teenagers with iPhones could have put together a more professional production than that outfit.Second headline bold is my emphasis. Uuummm, shouldn't they know the identity of the Property Master? (Reads the story...) OH, they really don't know (bold my emphasis again.)

Covering her own ass appears to be her number one priority, but I can't say as I blame her. I would expect Baldwin to be desperately seeking a scapegoat and he has a lot more throw weight in the land of Looney Toons. There likely is plenty of blame to go around, she's doneUm, safety is her number one priority on set... but she has no idea where live rounds came from?

Alec Baldwin meet Ed Gilliam.
In 1955 Gilliam was tried in New Mexico for involuntary manslaughter in the accidental shooting death of one Eva Devoll.In his opening to the jury, the prosecutor stated:
The evidence established that Ms. Devoll was killed at the home of Leslie Johnson. Persons present when the gun discharged were Johnson, D.E. Hendrix, Gilliam, and Devoll, the decedent.It is the State’s theory that the specific act or acts consisted of carelessly handling a loaded fire-arm (sic), and in particular that the defendant loaded the gun, that he handled it without due caution and circumspection while he was drinking, and that he drank intoxicants while he had a loaded gun in his possession.
Gilliam testified that Hendrix handed him the gun, and, as he took hold of the trigger guard and barrel, the weapon discharged. Nevertheless, he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
On appeal to the New Mexico Supreme Court, Gilliam challenged the trial court’s instruction to the jury regarding what the prosecution had to establish to prove him guilty. The Supreme Court held, however, that the instruction regarding the handling of a firearm had been correct in that the judge had “told the jury that it was required, to warrant a conviction, to find beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant handled the pistol without due caution and circumspection and that doing so was the proximate cause of the death of Eva Devoll.
“It could have made no difference to the trial of involuntary manslaughter as to who loaded the gun or whether the person handling the gun was sober or drinking or whether he had loaded the gun while drinking intoxicants. All that is necessary to establish for involuntary manslaughter by use of a loaded firearm is that a defendant had in his hands a gun which at some time had been loaded and that he handled it, whether drunk, drinking or sober, without due caution and circumspection and that death resulted.” (Emphasis added)
The court’s holding in Gilliam’s case is still the law in New Mexico. The state’s felony manslaughter statute provides, in relevant part, the following:
“Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice … Involuntary manslaughter consists of manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act that might produce death … without due caution and circumspection.” (Emphasis added)
Which brings us to Alec Baldwin.
