I'm wondering if he is trying to make a fine distinction. In saying that he did not pull the trigger is he setting the stage to claim that in the process of cocking the revolver (assuming a single action) there was a mechanical issue with the pistol and the hammer did not cocked, or alternatively, the hammer slipped out of his control.

Then he should have filmed his western using Glocks instead of old technology.

The dumb ass media too stupid to know that a SA revolver has to be COCKED before it can be fired. It is impossible for it to just accidentally misfire.

Can a non transfer bar system set off a round with the hammer being impacted when down?
From what I heard the gun was an SAA Colt. So the idea that he "slipped' when cocking it is BS too, because the hammer will fall into the 1/2 cock notch or the "safety Notch" if the trigger is not pulled back. No way around the fact he had to pull the trigger if the sear nose is not broken off. And if the sear nose is broken it still doesn't get around the fact it was pointed or aimed at the woman and it had LIVE ROUNDS in it. So the very best he can hope for is involuntary manslaughter. If any of you reading this had done the same things with a broken gun it would not save you from prison. But as a hard-left hater of the USA, his fellow Satanic Dem/Comms may give him a pass, despite the facts he had live rounds in the gun, had to cock it for it to fire at all, and pointed it at the woman. That degree of negligence is beyond excuse. And if any intent can be proven it's not manslaughter, but murder.
But rich communists are not usually held to the standard of justice the rest of us are. We don't have a justice system anymore and have not for many years. We do have a legal system, but it's for sale in many cases.

No it isn’t. Happens all the time. He pulled the trigger, he just didn’t consciously do it. He in effect fanned it. But to him it just went off.
Here it is in action at about 2:51 on this clip from The Searchers. A negligent discharge caught in real time on camera.
Let's remember that the threshold issue is that he pointed a weapon with actual live round(s) in it at another person. Had he simply done what every responsible person does when picking up a gun--check to see if it was loaded (where he would have seen that it was not a blank round)--it wouldn't have mattered whether he pulled the trigger or not. He would have simply put the weapon down, called for whoever was the armorer in charge and told them that there is a live round in the weapon. His failure to take these "common sense" measures (a term loved by the left when it comes to guns) is the cause of the death of the person.

I'm guessing he was unfamiliar with firearms and would not have known how to open it up and check the ammo. I bet he didn't know the cylinder rotates the next one up as you cock it. He pulled the trigger.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
check to see if it was loaded (where he would have seen that it was not a blank round)
I doubt the moron would know the difference between a blank and a live round.
And that's the point...he shouldn't have handled the weapon if this is the case. We all know, from his past public statements about gun rights, that he knew how dangerous a loaded weapon can be. If he chose to then disregard his own warnings, that's no defense.

I was flipping through the channels on the boob tube this morning and came across a commercial on ABC. They were pimping a “Exclusive” interview with POS Killer Alec Baldwin. With ABC’s favorite Commie Libertard George Stephanopoulos. The commercial clip showed hypocrite Baldwin bawling his little eyes out, stating” I didn’t pull the trigger” . Pretty obvious it was staged fake Hollyweird acting / crying.
Typical Libertard Bullschitt we’ve come to expect from the Commie Socialist Fake News Media nowadays.
I bet they’ll give Baldwin and George Stephanopoulos the Academy Awards this year for the best actor / Murderer in a Propaganda Film. 😜
Bet you Baldwin’s Attourney Set this Bullschitt interview up to cover Baldwin’s sorry ass. 😡

Who put the live rd in the cylinder? How many live rds in the cylinder? And if just one, someone obviously knew how to time the cylinder so when zippy cocked the hammer it would go boom instead of click on a empty chamber or a spent blank or dummy rd."
Who put the live round in the cylinder? Damned if I know.
How many live rounds in the cylinder? Again, damned if I know.
It's the third line/question that interests me.The if just one, and it was times to come up on coking the hammer, then I would think that was a case of someone wanting to do harm. If it was a full six rounds then that could also be someone wanting to cause harm. I did read one article on the shooting early on thats aid the gun in question had a very light trigger. Was it a gun set up for fast draw work? I ask this only because I bought a Colt single action Army .45 Colt with 4.75" barrel that had been worked over for fast draw by some IDIOT. That gun would fire from the full cock notch, half cock notch and would even drop the hammer from the safety notch. Definitely an unsafe firearm. I would like to examine the gun that killed the woman for myself. Just one AD with my gun as an example. I'd just loaded it and with my arm hanging down at my side had just cocked the gun when a shooter next to me asked a question. I'd been helping him with his rifle. I know for a fact that my finger never touched the trigger but that S.O.B. went bang anyway. The bullet hit the ground about two inches from my right foot. I unloaded that gun and put it away. When I got home I took it apart and the sear had snapped off where it was in the full cock notch. The half cock and safety notches both failed and the gun fired. A new sear fixed the gun, but it was a lesson learned, fortunately with no one being hurt. It still has a very light trigger pull. I should replace the hammer. I'm not putting this up as a defense for Baldwin. I probably dislike him as much or even more that you do. Not sure but I'd be more to think, did Baldwin open the load gate and check what was in the gun? I've never seen a Hollywood 5 in1 blank so have no idea of what the head stamp might be. Probably 5 in 1 or something similar. Did a disgruntled employee load the gun hoping Baldwin might hurt someone. I doubt we'll ever really know for sure. Paul B.

Not to quibble but it wouldn’t be a live round vs a blank. It would be a live round vs a dummy and that is a very different thing. I’ve read that the dummies have a bb in them so that when you shake them you can tell it is a dummy. That is about the only way to tell for sure the difference between and live round and a dummy without dropping the hammer on it.
