- 1:45Speaker 1: Guys, you are hearing Hutchins's husband. That's Matt Hutchins speaking
- 1:51Speaker 1: to our friends at NBC. When I got through to
- 1:55Speaker 1: the doctor and spoke with him, he detailed exactly what
- 1:58Speaker 1: had happened and that she did not survive. I was
- 2:02Speaker 1: heart broken. Okay, this is what I like to do.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Whenever I have a jewry I like to take them
- 2:09Speaker 1: back to the moment of the incident if I can,
- 2:13Speaker 1: because we can talk about it till we're blue in
- 2:15Speaker 1: the face. But nothing can take the place of a
- 2:19Speaker 1: nine to one one call. Listen, let me.
- 2:22Speaker 8: Try emergency Bonanza Creek Grants. Two people accidentally shot on

- 2:39Speaker 8: Okay, hold on just one second. It sounds like somebody
- 2:42Speaker 8: else is calling for better miss. It's good, everybody should be.
- 2:48Speaker 8: We need some help of director in our cameraman as
- 2:51Speaker 8: camera woman has been shot? Are they going to take
- 2:53Speaker 8: them to the roads? So was it loaded with a
- 2:55Speaker 8: real bullet or one? I don't I cannot tell you that.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm sure that if it were a fake bullet,
- 3:04Speaker 1: such as a blank This young mom would be bleeding
- 3:08Speaker 1: out on the floor of a movie set after Alec
- 3:12Speaker 1: Baldwin pulls a trigger. According to him, he didn't pull
- 3:16Speaker 1: the trigger. It went off on its own. I guess
- 3:19Speaker 1: whiless in his hand. But the disturbing part right now,
- 3:23Speaker 1: in addition to this young mom's death while everybody's standing
- 3:27Speaker 1: around trying to figure out what to do and if
- 3:29Speaker 1: it was a real bullet, is that Alec Baldwin and
- 3:32Speaker 1: his wife and their seven children have now announced a
- 3:37Speaker 1: reality show full of love, laughter and family hijinks. Kella
- 3:43Speaker 1: Brantley joining me, investigative reporter, Dailymail dot Com. Kella, how
- 3:48Speaker 1: many days did her only child go without being able
- 3:54Speaker 1: to speak after his mother's death.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Yeah, Helena Hutchens son was clearly traumatized from the death
- 4:02Speaker 3: of his mother. And then you see there her husband
- 4:05Speaker 3: talking about the trauma that they also endured. And at
- 4:08Speaker 3: the same time you do see Alec Baldwin starting a
- 4:11Speaker 3: reality show. It's tentatively called The Baldwins. It's set to
- 4:15Speaker 3: come out on TLC in twenty twenty five, so we'll
- 4:18Speaker 3: all be looking out for that one.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Kilab Brantley joining us from dailymail dot Com. It was
- 4:23Speaker 1: actually two days. Two days. The little boy could not
- 4:29Speaker 1: speak after hearing the news his mother was dead. You know, Kila,
- 4:35Speaker 1: hold on, I'm going to circle back to you. Let
- 4:37Speaker 1: me go straight out to doctor John delatorre joining us
- 4:40Speaker 1: psychologist mediator specializing and forensic psychology. Doctor Delatory, thank you
- 4:47Speaker 1: for being with us. What is that psychological or psychiatric
- 4:52Speaker 1: phenomena when you literally cannot speak. I've heard of it,
- 4:57Speaker 1: just like I've heard of where people get a horrible shot,
- 5:00Speaker 1: their hair turns gray overnight, but you lose the ability
- 5:05Speaker 1: to speak. And that's what happened to her little boy
- 5:09Speaker 1: when he learns mommy is shot dead on a movie set.
- 5:14Speaker 1: She goes to work that morning and bam, never comes home.
- 5:18Speaker 1: What is it?
- 5:19Speaker 9: It's called selective mutism, Nancy. And honestly, what the kid
- 5:22Speaker 9: is experiencing is a trauma response. It's a pretty severe
- 5:26Speaker 9: trauma response because of the severity with which he lost
- 5:30Speaker 9: his mother.
- 5:30Speaker 10: Right.
- 5:31Speaker 9: Usually these things can be kind of proportional your response
- 5:34Speaker 9: to whatever the trauma is, and sometimes it's just so
- 5:37Speaker 9: overwhelming that you can't even process it. You dissociate from
- 5:41Speaker 9: the fact that you're even existing in the real world.
- 5:45Speaker 9: You regress back into whatever fantasy life or whatever sort
- 5:49Speaker 9: of dream like state that you can be in in
- 5:51Speaker 9: order to just kind of navigate the hurtful and very
- 5:54Speaker 9: vulnerable feelings that you have, especially with the loss of
- 5:57Speaker 9: your mother. And there's no way that he really understand
- 6:00Speaker 9: did what exactly was that happened?
- 6:01Speaker 11: He will when it.
- 6:03Speaker 9: As he gets older. He just knows that she's gone
- 6:06Speaker 9: and she's never coming back. And that's so overwhelming, even
- 6:10Speaker 9: for anyone, especially a little kid.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I've actually had crime victims that go into, as doctor
- 6:16Speaker 1: John Delatory described, a dream state after trauma. Doctor Delatory,
- 6:23Speaker 1: they go back to a time before the murder or
- 6:29Speaker 1: the rape or the molestation. But typically they go back
- 6:34Speaker 1: in their mind and they live in a dream state
- 6:36Speaker 1: where the murder never happened and they're still, for instance,
- 6:41Speaker 1: with their family at night for supper and sitting around
- 6:45Speaker 1: the TV watching a program together. They actually live in
- 6:50Speaker 1: that world, not in the reality of their loved one
- 6:54Speaker 1: having been murdered. What is that called, you said, selected mutism?
- 6:58Speaker 1: When the little boy can spin for at least two days,
- 7:01Speaker 1: what is that when you live in a dream stay
- 7:04Speaker 1: you're functioning seemingly normally, but you think your whole family
- 7:09Speaker 1: is still alive.
- 7:10Speaker 9: Well, this is part of a dissociation, depersonalization, but ultimately
- 7:14Speaker 9: what we're talking about is an avoidance. It's almost like,
- 7:17Speaker 9: even if you were to walk up to the person
- 7:19Speaker 9: and say, hey, you know, you know this thing happened
- 7:21Speaker 9: to you, they will say that it didn't. No matter
- 7:24Speaker 9: how many years it's long since been. They will never
- 7:27Speaker 9: sort of incorporate that trauma into their being. They'll never
- 7:31Speaker 9: incorporate it as a memory of any kind, just because
- 7:34Speaker 9: the mind can only take so much. There's only so
- 7:37Speaker 9: much that you can sort of process as a human being.
- 7:40Speaker 9: And the more overwhelming something becomes, the more taxing it
- 7:43Speaker 9: becomes on your coping resources, the more likely you are
- 7:46Speaker 9: to engage in these kinds of extreme examples of trauma responses.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I can only imagine it's worse on a child that
- 7:53Speaker 1: already has no coping mechanism at all, doesn't understand what's happening.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I mean, at that age, your mum, it's the single
- 8:01Speaker 1: most important person in your world. You don't really even
- 8:05Speaker 1: know of another world, and then to find out Mommy's
- 8:08Speaker 1: dead just like that, Hey, Daryl Cohen is joining me
- 8:11Speaker 1: now former felony prosecutor in inner city Atlanta, with me
- 8:17Speaker 1: now high profile defense attorney at Cohen Cooper E Stephen Allen, Darryl,
- 8:21Speaker 1: before you put on your boxing gloves and start arguing
- 8:25Speaker 1: with me about this case, taking Alec Baldwin's side and
- 8:29Speaker 1: jumping on the bandwagon of his Realities show, I want
- 8:32Speaker 1: to have you cast your mind back to the days
- 8:35Speaker 1: when you were prosecuting. You know what I hated, Darryl,
- 8:39Speaker 1: As you know, I hated having to put a victim
- 8:45Speaker 1: on the stand and make them re live what happened
- 8:50Speaker 1: to them, or in the case of a murder, putting
- 8:53Speaker 1: a family member on the stand to relive. I hate
- 8:57Speaker 1: even doing it on this program. I feel horrible because
- 9:01Speaker 1: I know what it feels like being a crime victim
- 9:03Speaker 1: and having to testify, for instance. But it's the state's duty.
- 9:08Speaker 1: The state has to do it. In other words, you,
- 9:10Speaker 1: when you are a prosecutor at ME, you have to
- 9:13Speaker 1: put that evidence up. And Daryl, have you ever had
- 9:16Speaker 1: a victim. I'm thinking of one girl victim right now.
- 9:21Speaker 1: She actually she's about fourteen. She actually put her head
- 9:26Speaker 1: down on the witness stand in the middle. Well, really
- 9:29Speaker 1: at the beginning of the direct examination. And I mean
- 9:33Speaker 1: she had been raped multiple times. It was horrible. But
- 9:38Speaker 1: the point is you have to somehow get the victim
- 9:41Speaker 1: to speak, and it's horrible. Have you ever experienced that
- 9:46Speaker 1: as a prosecutor.
- 9:48Speaker 10: I have, Nancy, And as much as I hated to
- 9:51Speaker 10: put that victim on the stand, if my victim, such
- 9:56Speaker 10: as the one you just mentioned, put her head on
- 9:59Speaker 10: the witness stand, and that is the most telling, most
- 10:02Speaker 10: compelling testimony ever in front of a jury. It may
- 10:06Speaker 10: not be evidence, but it's really what happened, and a
- 10:10Speaker 10: jury will hear and see that far more than there
- 10:14Speaker 10: will listen to her testimony.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, we're talking about miss Hutchins,
- 10:34Speaker 1: Helena Hutchins little boy and for days, days after his
- 10:41Speaker 1: mom was shot dead on the set of rust Alec
- 10:45Speaker 1: Baldwin's movie, Helena Hutchins's son could not speak with that
- 10:51Speaker 1: in mind. Listen, when we have an announcement to meet.
- 10:59Speaker 5: I'm having Yeah, this is a show.
- 11:04Speaker 4: We're inviting you to his home, experience the ups and
- 11:07Speaker 4: downs and.
- 11:09Speaker 5: The crazy we are the from coming to TLC again.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I see that, and I'm thinking of this seven year
- 11:21Speaker 1: old little boy without his mother, not able to speak,
- 11:25Speaker 1: and I'm actually speeciless. I mean, what are they planning
- 11:28Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen for the whole family as part of the
- 11:31Speaker 1: is it TLC? Reality series to go visit Daddy behind bars?
- 11:36Speaker 1: Because that's where he's going. How's that going to be
- 11:39Speaker 1: on TLC? That's full of hijinks and love and laughter.
- 11:43Speaker 1: You're confusing I'm not confusing anything.
- 11:45Speaker 10: You're completely confusing it.
- 11:47Speaker 8: Now.
- 11:47Speaker 10: Let me tell you, I am probably the only person
- 11:51Speaker 10: on your show that has ever been shot and killed
- 11:54Speaker 10: on a movie set. It was heat of the night.
- 11:57Speaker 10: Carol Connor was there, and I know what the protocol is.
- 12:02Speaker 10: Alec Baldwin is maybe criminally not guilty, but civilly libel
- 12:08Speaker 10: because it was his production. Having said that.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Is that what you call a Freudian slip? He's maybe no,
- 12:16Speaker 1: criminally not guilty. You just said that that I just said,
- 12:20Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin is maybe criminally not guilty. See you know what,
- 12:27Speaker 1: You're a veteran defense attorney, but even you have a
- 12:30Speaker 1: slip of the tongue. Wasn't a while and tell the truth,
- 12:33Speaker 1: don't you?
- 12:33Speaker 10: I always tell the truth. I don't always remember what
- 12:37Speaker 10: I say Nancy, he is not criminally He is not
- 12:40Speaker 10: kriminally guilty. You have to remember what you said if
- 12:43Speaker 10: you tell not the truth. The truth is based on
- 12:47Speaker 10: the facts. The way a set is supposed to go.
- 12:50Speaker 2: What is the art.
- 12:51Speaker 10: It is the armorer, the person who provides the weapon
- 12:55Speaker 10: to the actor. He had no responsibility to check that
- 13:00Speaker 10: weapon to see whether or not it was trot see
- 13:02Speaker 10: whether or not was anything other than a prop gun.
- 13:06Speaker 10: He did, whether he fired it or not, that is irrelevant.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Okay, Johannas chum Wayno is with me, film and TV
- 13:14Speaker 1: safety expert. He's the CEO of v ip Star Network. Okay,
- 13:20Speaker 1: that sounds impressive. Vip Star Network, Johannas, thank you for
- 13:25Speaker 1: being with us, Johannas. Isn't it true, contrary to what
- 13:30Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen just spouted off? Isn't it true that on
- 13:34Speaker 1: a movie set you're never supposed to point a real gun.
- 13:39Speaker 1: This was a real gun. It's not a prop gun.
- 13:42Speaker 1: A real gun at a person and pull the trigger.
- 13:46Speaker 6: I mean, and that's a real gun with a live
- 13:49Speaker 6: board is obviously going to have a detrimental effect to
- 13:53Speaker 6: anybody that that gun is pointed to. And so you know,
- 13:56Speaker 6: the common aspect of how you you know, film a
- 14:00Speaker 6: movie in an environment where you're using live ammunition and
- 14:03Speaker 6: a live handgun.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Well, he's saying, you didn't know there was live ammo. Johannis,
- 14:09Speaker 1: who differentiates this scenario from what you're saying. Baldwin is
- 14:14Speaker 1: insisting a he didn't pull the trigger. Okay, that's bs right,
- 14:18Speaker 1: because the FBI has already done tests on this particular
- 14:22Speaker 1: gun and they say there's no way to going off
- 14:26Speaker 1: on its own. But I'm talking about movie protocol. When
- 14:31Speaker 1: you're not dealing with a prop gun, you're dealing with
- 14:35Speaker 1: a real gun. You're not supposed to point it is
- 14:38Speaker 1: somebody and pull the trigger.
- 14:39Speaker 6: Ever, I mean, this dates back to several decades in
- 14:43Speaker 6: terms of how movies have been made, and really, as
- 14:46Speaker 6: we look at the changes that are being made Nancy
- 14:47Speaker 6: into the future, this is what we're looking at in
- 14:49Speaker 6: terms of what type of ammunition can you use? Really,
- 14:52Speaker 6: the dummy bull this is what's been the common terminology
- 14:56Speaker 6: being used in this situation with Russ. Clearly we know
- 14:59Speaker 6: that it wasn't a me a bullet, It was a
- 15:01Speaker 6: real bullet and a real gun that caused the death
- 15:05Speaker 6: of Alena Hutchinson, and so we'll still learn more as
- 15:08Speaker 6: as a trial continues, if he's going to be found guilty,
- 15:11Speaker 6: if he's not going to be found guilty. To your point,
- 15:13Speaker 6: I definitely different in my opinion in terms of mister
- 15:16Speaker 6: Cohen's opinion that he just mentioned.
- 15:19Speaker 8: We have two injuries from a movie gun shock. Okay,
- 15:24Speaker 8: we're getting out there already. Just stay on the phone
- 15:26Speaker 8: with me. Okay, that yelled at me at lunch because
- 15:31Speaker 8: ask him about the visions?
- 15:32Speaker 1: Did you.
- 15:34Speaker 8: And yell at me. He's first abstructed guns. He's responsible
- 15:37Speaker 8: for MAMMI no, no, no, I'm a script supervivor. I
- 15:41Speaker 8: ran home. People were injured, true that I know of.
- 15:45Speaker 8: I was hearing. We were rehearsing and it went off,
- 15:47Speaker 8: and I ran out. We all ran out.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Bombshell.
- 15:50Speaker 10: Tonight.
- 15:50Speaker 12: Alec Baldwin parades new TLC reality show amidst a civil
- 15:54Speaker 12: suit for his cinematographer's depth, only months before his trial
- 15:58Speaker 12: on manslaughter charges. A prop gun and properly loaded with
- 16:02Speaker 12: live rounds, goes off on set during rehearsals for Alec
- 16:05Speaker 12: Baldwin's film Rust. Two crew members hit cinematographer Helena Hutchins
- 16:10Speaker 12: and director Joel Suza. Hutchins is critically injured and rushed
- 16:13Speaker 12: to the hospital. Despite life saving efforts, Hutchins succumbs to
- 16:17Speaker 12: her injuries and.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Now a TLC reality show has been announced where Alec Baldwin,
- 16:24Speaker 1: his wife, and their seven children share all of the love, laughter,
- 16:32Speaker 1: drama and family hijinks this as his manslaughter trial is looming.
- 16:38Speaker 1: I wonder what Miss Hutchins family thinks about the reality show.
- 16:43Speaker 1: You know, Johannes chum Way joining us from vip Star Network.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I've asked you twice now and I've yet to get
- 16:50Speaker 1: a straight answer out of you. I don't guess you're
- 16:54Speaker 1: on the ball and payroll or part of the knee
- 16:57Speaker 1: reality series. I don't know that tremuno question, and I'd
- 17:02Speaker 1: like to get a yes no answer if possible. Isn't
- 17:07Speaker 1: it protocol SOP standard operating procedure that on a movie set,
- 17:13Speaker 1: when working with a real gun, not a dummy gun
- 17:17Speaker 1: a prop gun, you are not to point the real
- 17:21Speaker 1: gun at a person and pull the trigger.
- 17:24Speaker 10: That is accurate.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know what took so long to get
- 17:30Speaker 1: that out of you. Listen, I'm a JD, not a DDS.
- 17:34Speaker 1: I don't know how to pull teeth. But I can
- 17:36Speaker 1: certainly try joining me now Paul's zeit police commander out
- 17:41Speaker 1: of this jurisdiction. By the way, an author of stop
- 17:45Speaker 1: him from killing them. He is Screen Actors Guild and
- 17:51Speaker 1: he's experienced using firearms with the blanks during live action
- 17:56Speaker 1: movie scenes such as Terminator Paul's it's like, thank you
- 18:00Speaker 1: for being with us? Okay, follow up on what I
- 18:04Speaker 1: pulled out of Johanna's Chimoyno.
- 18:06Speaker 11: Absolutely not.
- 18:07Speaker 13: And as a matter of fact, you have a sanitary
- 18:09Speaker 13: environment to make sure live rounds are not introduced into
- 18:13Speaker 13: that environment, and that is the responsibility of any safety
- 18:18Speaker 13: officer on set.
- 18:19Speaker 2: As far as aiming a weapon at someone, again, that's
- 18:23Speaker 2: not okay, especially this weapon, given the fact that it
- 18:27Speaker 2: has nothing in its barrel except allegedly a blank round,
- 18:31Speaker 2: which we now know is a live round.
- 18:34Speaker 11: Bottom line is that firearm went off, it was aimed.
- 18:37Speaker 2: At the person that it actually killed, and the person
- 18:42Speaker 2: that had it in their hands is mister Baldwin. So
- 18:45Speaker 2: statutorily this meets New Mexico state statue.
- 18:49Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing of that Baldwin keep saying he
- 18:55Speaker 1: didn't pull the trigger and the gun quote went off
- 18:59Speaker 1: on its own while in his hand. But I want
- 19:02Speaker 1: to rage to everyone back to the time that Helene
- 19:07Speaker 1: Hutchins was shot dead on the set of Rust. With
- 19:11Speaker 1: the nine on one call.
- 19:12Speaker 8: Listen, well part of the body was injured. I'm not sure.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I'm not in there.
- 19:17Speaker 12: Fine, is there more than one wound?
- 19:20Speaker 8: I think there's one on an individual, one on two individuals. Okay, yeah,
- 19:26Speaker 8: Canthony maultlen, I'll see exactly want to do next? We say,
- 19:31Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you how to stop the bleeding.
- 19:33Speaker 8: Listen carefully, make sure we do it right.
- 19:35Speaker 1: We do.
- 19:37Speaker 8: We do have a medic on medical ont They're already
- 19:40Speaker 8: doing that. Believe is the bleeding control. I'm allowed to
- 19:46Speaker 8: get it.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I don't know about the medic on the set of Rust,
- 19:49Speaker 1: but having been on multiple movie and TV sets, very
- 19:53Speaker 1: often there's somebody running around with a little plastic box
- 19:57Speaker 1: that has like band aids and back in it some aspirin.
- 20:02Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to help anything. But
- 20:04Speaker 1: I want to go back to Keila Brantley, investigative reporter,
- 20:07Speaker 1: Dailymail dot Com. Keilla, I'm looking back at the verbatim
- 20:12Speaker 1: transcript of these nine on one calls, and the dispatch
- 20:15Speaker 1: officer is wise enough to say, so is it loaded
- 20:19Speaker 1: with a real bullet? And even in the heat of
- 20:22Speaker 1: the moment of a life threatening emergency, everybody on the
- 20:27Speaker 1: other end goes, I don't know. I can't tell you that. Well,
- 20:31Speaker 1: the woman is dying, bleeding out. That ain't from a
- 20:35Speaker 1: blake kila, But everybody's already in CYA cover your rear
- 20:41Speaker 1: end mode. I don't know if it was a live bullet.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Maybe she just fell. I can't believe the two faced
- 20:49Speaker 1: nature to dupluscity of this answer. I can't tell you
- 20:53Speaker 1: that she's bleeding out right in front of her.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Well, I think what you're seeing here is that everyone
- 20:57Speaker 3: on set was shocked that it was a live around
- 21:00Speaker 3: in the gun. Because there's several protocols that you're supposed
- 21:04Speaker 3: to go to that you're supposed to go through. That
- 21:06Speaker 3: means that there should not be a live round in
- 21:08Speaker 3: that gun. Obviously that was the fault of the armorer
- 21:11Speaker 3: who has been sentenced. And then another step there is
- 21:15Speaker 3: Alec Baldwin, who, as you said, should not have been
- 21:18Speaker 3: pointing that gun towards anyone.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I specifically want defense attorney, high profile defense attorney at that,
- 21:24Speaker 1: Darryl Cohen to hear what Alec Baldwin said. Listen, well,
- 21:29Speaker 1: the trigger wasn't put I didn't pull the trigger. So
- 21:31Speaker 1: you never pulled the trigger?
- 21:32Speaker 11: No, no, no, no no.
- 21:33Speaker 1: I would never point a to pull a trigger at them.
- 21:35Speaker 8: Never.
- 21:36Speaker 10: Never.
- 21:36Speaker 9: That was the training that I had.
- 21:37Speaker 4: You don't point it gun as a man and pull.
- 21:39Speaker 1: The trigger at that's from our friends over at ABC. Oh,
- 21:42Speaker 1: I can't wait for the State to play that in
- 21:46Speaker 1: front of the jury. I would never. It's not protocol.
- 21:50Speaker 1: That's not my training to pull the trigger. Agul In,
- 21:54Speaker 1: Well he did.
- 21:55Speaker 10: Darryl Nancy that I don't buy. I don't buy the
- 21:59Speaker 10: fact that he said he didn't pull the trigger. What
- 22:02Speaker 10: I am saying is is protocol. The armorer should have
- 22:06Speaker 10: made sure that weapon was not loaded with a live
- 22:11Speaker 10: round or rounds. That is what I am saying. I
- 22:14Speaker 10: think Alec Baldwin made a stupid mistake, both for the
- 22:17Speaker 10: reality show to come out now and also to say
- 22:21Speaker 10: he didn't pull the trigger. That is exactly what I'm saying.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Okay, well, actually you just said two different things. So
- 22:29Speaker 1: first you said, I don't buy that. He said, yes,
- 22:33Speaker 1: you did that. He said he didn't pull the trigger.
- 22:36Speaker 1: So let me refresh your recollection. Listen, Well, the trigger
- 22:40Speaker 1: wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger, so you never
- 22:42Speaker 1: pulled the trigger?
- 22:42Speaker 6: No, no, no, no.
- 22:43Speaker 12: I would never point a gun to anyone to pull
- 22:45Speaker 12: a trigger at them.
- 22:46Speaker 10: Never.
- 22:46Speaker 6: That was the training that I had.
- 22:47Speaker 4: You don't point it, good as man and pull trigger.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Okay from our friends at ABC, and thank you ABC.
- 22:54Speaker 1: He just said it like three times in a row.
- 22:57Speaker 1: He did say I didn't pull the trigger. I would
- 23:00Speaker 1: never point a gun and pull the trigger, but he did.
- 23:03Speaker 1: So he's totally busted because, as you know, once you
- 23:08Speaker 1: lie about one thing, a jury can assume if they
- 23:12Speaker 1: wish that you're lying about everything. A lion part can
- 23:17Speaker 1: be viewed as a lie in a hole.
- 23:19Speaker 10: But that is not what the facts are. He was wrong.
- 23:22Speaker 10: I think that he did not tell the truth when
- 23:24Speaker 10: he said I didn't pull the trigger. I'm giving you that,
- 23:28Speaker 10: But what I'm saying to you is, Nancy, he has
- 23:30Speaker 10: no liability. In my view. He had followed protocol in
- 23:35Speaker 10: that the armorer is the one who makes sure that
- 23:39Speaker 10: the weapon is not loaded. Were there's some stupid moves?
- 23:43Speaker 10: Was there civil liability? You bet, but that's it.
- 23:46Speaker 14: Despite the tragic and untimely death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins,
- 23:51Speaker 14: actor and producer of movie Rust, Alec Baldwin seems to
- 23:55Speaker 14: be living his best Hollywood life. Just this week, Baldwin
- 23:59Speaker 14: proudly promotes a new reality TV show, The Baldwins, despite
- 24:03Speaker 14: being hit with yet another suit by Hudginson's family.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, but let's see the trailer. Listen
- 24:11Speaker 1: him and we have an announcement to me, not.
- 24:20Speaker 11: This is about her show.
- 24:21Speaker 4: We're inviting you to experience the ups and downs crazy ALC.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Okay, So what exactly did Alec Baldwin say while under
- 24:39Speaker 1: police interrogation. I'm not talking about a friendly softball thrown
- 24:45Speaker 1: at him on ABC. I'm talking about what did he
- 24:48Speaker 1: say to police? Listen, she's right.
- 24:51Speaker 6: In front of me.
- 24:52Speaker 15: She's as farm for me as I am from between
- 24:56Speaker 15: the difference.
- 24:56Speaker 11: Between maybe you and the door. Okay for me.
- 25:00Speaker 15: She said it was a very tight shot, and the
- 25:01Speaker 15: shot was here not being a lead pulling the guns,
- 25:05Speaker 15: little lest lead turn cock.
- 25:07Speaker 11: Okay, and she's.
- 25:09Speaker 15: Right there, one of her in a position she wouldn't
- 25:12Speaker 15: ordinarily be if we were shooting and.
- 25:16Speaker 14: The gun.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Okay, DARYLD Cohen, You've dealt with a lot of defendants,
- 25:20Speaker 1: as have I, and I've looked at a lot of
- 25:23Speaker 1: their interrogations, read them, listened to them when they would
- 25:27Speaker 1: start explaining to me, maybe during plea negotiations, and they
- 25:31Speaker 1: always get right up to the critical moment, and then
- 25:35Speaker 1: suddenly they jump, they jumped to after the critical moment.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Let's just say you and I were robbing a bank
- 25:42Speaker 1: and I go, yeah, Cohen and I we went into
- 25:44Speaker 1: the bank and I said, man, don't pull a gun,
- 25:47Speaker 1: and then you know, he pulled the gun and the
- 25:50Speaker 1: next thing we were running out of the bank. We'll
- 25:52Speaker 1: hold on. There's two dead taillers. How did that get
- 25:55Speaker 1: lost in the sauce? The critical moment? And I'm looking
- 25:57Speaker 1: at what Ball was says here, reading critically, and he says,
- 26:01Speaker 1: and she's right there, vulnerable, in a position she would
- 26:05Speaker 1: ordinarily be in if we were shooting, and this thing boom,
- 26:09Speaker 1: she hits the ground. Okay, isn't he leaving out the
- 26:14Speaker 1: part where he pulls the trigger and shoots her?
- 26:18Speaker 10: Kind of left that part out? Darryl Nancy too many times?
- 26:21Speaker 10: And Alec Baldwin is guilty of this when the truth
- 26:24Speaker 10: would set you free, or keep your damn big mouth shut,
- 26:28Speaker 10: as Judge Lan for you, as secretary, used to say,
- 26:31Speaker 10: kyd BMS, keep your damn mouth, big mouth shut. If
- 26:36Speaker 10: he had done that, he was far better off than
- 26:39Speaker 10: inventing a story that he thought at the time would
- 26:42Speaker 10: help him, when in fact it's coming back to bite him.
- 26:46Speaker 1: It certainly is, because according to the FBI who tested
- 26:49Speaker 1: the weapon, there's no way the weapon went off on
- 26:54Speaker 1: its own. Back to dailymail dot Com investigative reporter Keilla Brantley,
- 27:00Speaker 1: what can you tell me about what the FBI says
- 27:03Speaker 1: about the trigger pool.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Well, during Hannah Gutira's case, you saw them bring in
- 27:08Speaker 3: the gun, analyze it and say that if it did
- 27:13Speaker 3: not go off, something would have to be completely wrong,
- 27:15Speaker 3: that it would be a broken gun for it not
- 27:18Speaker 3: to need someone to pull the trigger to go off.
- 27:21Speaker 3: So Alec Baldwin's defense that he did not physically pull
- 27:24Speaker 3: the trigger, according to experts, is impossible.
- 27:27Speaker 1: This as the Baldwins announce a reality show on THLC
- 27:34Speaker 1: along with other major productions offered there. I'm trying to
- 27:41Speaker 1: figure out how Helena Hutchins family is going to react
- 27:46Speaker 1: to flipping through the channels and seeing all the quote love,
- 27:49Speaker 1: laughter and family hijinks. But speaking of the armorer, Hannah
- 27:57Speaker 1: Guitarra's I've got to very strong suspicion that Ali Baldwin
- 28:04Speaker 1: is going to make her the villain in his trial.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Listener as guilty of the volutary manslaughter.
- 28:15Speaker 11: As Tarsian count one.
- 28:19Speaker 8: Is now guilty and cut Tambers Tarsian count.
- 28:23Speaker 1: It's going to be so easy since she has been
- 28:26Speaker 1: found guilty, to put all the blame on her. But
- 28:31Speaker 1: I'm understanding there's a very strong possibility that she will
- 28:36Speaker 1: be called to the stand.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Listen, float in it with five of the dumm your
- 28:41Speaker 3: own before lunch, and there was.
- 28:44Speaker 14: One that want to go in, and.
- 28:45Speaker 11: So when we got back from.
- 28:47Speaker 8: Lunch, I took the little cleaner guy, I cleaned it
- 28:50Speaker 8: out really quick, and I put another dummy in there.
- 28:53Speaker 11: Okay, five total events?
- 28:55Speaker 10: Can you about Greg?
- 28:57Speaker 11: There was something excise.
- 28:59Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 29:00Speaker 12: Baldwin's attorneys have planned their defense around Hannah gutier As
- 29:04Speaker 12: read not testifying against Alec Baldwin at trial. If the
- 29:07Speaker 12: defense can prevent Hannah gutier A's read from testifying, Baldwin's
- 29:11Speaker 12: team can use her own words and conviction to lay
- 29:13Speaker 12: the blame for the shooting squarely on her shoulders. Baldwin's
- 29:16Speaker 12: team also claims that anything Gutier as Reid would offer
- 29:20Speaker 12: is already available in her previous statements. In giving her
- 29:23Speaker 12: immunity from prosecution and the freedom to claim whatever she
- 29:26Speaker 12: wants could be highly prejudicial to their case.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Guys, will the armorer who is supposed to be in
- 29:34Speaker 1: charge of all weapons on the set, who has been
- 29:37Speaker 1: found guilty of involuntary manslaughter? Will she be the escapegoat
- 29:43Speaker 1: and Alec Baldwin's trial? Apparently, Baldwin's lawyers are fighting tooth
- 29:47Speaker 1: and nail to keep her out of that courtroom, for
- 29:50Speaker 1: the jury to never see her, never hear her. But
- 29:56Speaker 1: can they do that? Listen?
- 29:58Speaker 7: Hannah Gutier is Reid, found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in
- 30:01Speaker 7: the Rust shooting, pleads the fifth during a pre trial
- 30:04Speaker 7: hearing for Alec Baldwin. Goodier has read intends to avoid
- 30:07Speaker 7: incriminating herself while appealing her conviction. Prosecutors have now asked
- 30:10Speaker 7: the judge to grant Gutier has read use immunity so
- 30:14Speaker 7: that she may testify a Baldwin's trial without her statements
- 30:16Speaker 7: evicting her legal standing. In a phone call from prison,
- 30:19Speaker 7: Gutier has read says she wants to see Alec Baldwin
- 30:22Speaker 7: in jail. The judge will decide if she will testify
- 30:25Speaker 7: against the Emmy Award winner at a trial. This summer.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace two daral co In, a
- 30:41Speaker 1: high profile lawyer former prosecutor. Let's break it down in
- 30:45Speaker 1: simple terms. Immunity use immunity sometimes called single use immunity.
- 30:52Speaker 1: She has, even though she's been convicted, the right to
- 30:56Speaker 1: at least assert the Fifth Amendment to remain silent, even
- 31:01Speaker 1: though she's already been convicted at trial. Why because she's
- 31:04Speaker 1: got an appeal go and she's appealing that conviction, all right,
- 31:08Speaker 1: so she still has the Fifth to protect her. She
- 31:11Speaker 1: cannot be forced to take the stand. However, if the
- 31:16Speaker 1: state gives her immunity or use immunity immunity for the
- 31:22Speaker 1: purposes of this testimony, she can get out there and
- 31:26Speaker 1: incriminate herself, but it can never be used against her.
- 31:31Speaker 1: So if the state grants her use immunity, she has
- 31:36Speaker 1: no recourse to take the Fifth Amendment because what she's
- 31:41Speaker 1: going to say cannot be held against her. She's set
- 31:44Speaker 1: the creek without a paddle, and so is Baldwin. Before
- 31:48Speaker 1: I go and throw that to Dearyll Cohen, Paul Zike,
- 31:52Speaker 1: if she testifies at Baldwin's trial, what do you expect
- 31:58Speaker 1: her to say?
- 31:58Speaker 11: I expect her.
- 31:59Speaker 2: To put the blame and or the primary obligation of
- 32:04Speaker 2: the security of that movie set to ensure that there's
- 32:07Speaker 2: no live I am on that movie set.
- 32:09Speaker 11: He's the one that hired her. He has a large
- 32:12Speaker 11: role that he plays in this movie.
- 32:14Speaker 2: And you know, she's going to make sure that the
- 32:18Speaker 2: Jerry knows that, and she's gonna shift some of this
- 32:20Speaker 2: over there on him.
- 32:22Speaker 11: And that makes sense. And you know, when you look
- 32:24Speaker 11: at this reality.
- 32:25Speaker 2: TV show, I think that's a direct response to kind
- 32:30Speaker 2: of humanizing him a little bit. Right, So before this
- 32:33Speaker 2: goes to trial, you see him with his kids and
- 32:36Speaker 2: everything's great. Hey, wait, maybe he isn't the villain so
- 32:39Speaker 2: to speak, that people have made him out to be.
- 32:41Speaker 2: And I think that's intentional.
- 32:43Speaker 1: You know, Killen Brantley dailymil dot Com. That's a really
- 32:45Speaker 1: good point Zeke just made. Many people are speculating, Wow,
- 32:50Speaker 1: Alet Balwin needs the money, he's had to sell his place.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I guess it was in Martha's Vineyard now a reality show.
- 32:58Speaker 1: But maybe Zeke is right that this is a very
- 33:01Speaker 1: well orchestrated attempt to humanize him and make him not
- 33:06Speaker 1: the bad guy in the eyes of the jury.
- 33:08Speaker 3: Well, from a pr standpoint, Nancy, this does have the
- 33:10Speaker 3: potential to be a really good play. For the last
- 33:13Speaker 3: two plus years, Alec Baldwin has been associated with this tragedy.
- 33:17Speaker 3: You look at headlines and it's Alec Baldwin indicted, it's
- 33:21Speaker 3: Alec Baldwin potential killer. It's everything bad to do with
- 33:25Speaker 3: this case. So now it's a sort of rebrand that
- 33:27Speaker 3: makes him look like a doting dad, like a family man,
- 33:31Speaker 3: and hopefully in this case you'll be able to see
- 33:33Speaker 3: the behind the scenes and maybe humanize him a little
- 33:36Speaker 3: bit more where you see potentially his struggle with this case,
- 33:39Speaker 3: how hard it's been for him personally and emotionally dealing
- 33:43Speaker 3: with all this.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Is that what you expect? What do you what create us?
- 33:46Speaker 1: If any do you give? Rumors? Kill a brandtley that
- 33:49Speaker 1: he really needs the money?
- 33:50Speaker 3: Oh well, that's definitely a money grab here. Obviously he
- 33:54Speaker 3: has mounting legal fees. He has seven mouths to feed
- 33:57Speaker 3: on top of that, so there's no doubt. We don't
- 33:59Speaker 3: know exactly how much he's being paid for this, but
- 34:02Speaker 3: he will be making a good payday off of it.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Which one is it money or pr or both? Listen?
- 34:08Speaker 7: Just in time for his manslaughter trial, Alec Baldwin announces
- 34:11Speaker 7: a new family reality show that will air on TLC.
- 34:14Speaker 7: The video teaser offers a glimpse into the Baldwin family,
- 34:17Speaker 7: with seven young children and a marriage with a twenty
- 34:19Speaker 7: five year age gap between the couple. Attorney Gloria Alrid,
- 34:23Speaker 7: who represents Helena Hutchins's parents and sister in a civil
- 34:26Speaker 7: suit against Baldwin, claims the show is a calculated public
- 34:29Speaker 7: relations move to influence the jury pool in New Mexico,
- 34:32Speaker 7: making Baldwin out to be a compassionate family.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Man who handed you your weapon in the day candidate
- 34:38Speaker 3: okay and physically handed.
- 34:43Speaker 15: She would show me the gun, okay, or she said colgun.
- 34:48Speaker 15: She said, test it for some language to she handed
- 34:51Speaker 15: it was sign did she said, do you want to check?
- 34:54Speaker 15: I know someone went soldier?
- 34:55Speaker 8: I said broad.
- 34:58Speaker 10: So and the first AI.
- 35:00Speaker 15: Very often we'll ask periodically he'll say let me check
- 35:05Speaker 15: and they'll have two people check.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Okay, you know too, Johannes chim wayno joining us from
- 35:10Speaker 1: vip Star Network Film and say TV Safety expert. Is
- 35:14Speaker 1: he trying to cast blame elsewhere? Is that what he's doing?
- 35:19Speaker 1: And that interrogation snippet.
- 35:21Speaker 6: One hundred percent, Nancy, this is a clear case where
- 35:24Speaker 6: he's trying to put blame on on the armor. I mean,
- 35:27Speaker 6: I go back to the expert witnesses and the expert
- 35:30Speaker 6: teams that we have on our health and safety services, Nancy.
- 35:34Speaker 6: When surgeons are operating on patients, they work directly with
- 35:37Speaker 6: technicians to hand them over instruments. Where does the liability
- 35:41Speaker 6: lie with the surgeon operating on a patient. With the surgeon,
- 35:45Speaker 6: it doesn't matter who hands him what. If he leaves
- 35:48Speaker 6: product in the patient, who's the blame the surgeon. If
- 35:51Speaker 6: he operates on the patient and makes mistakes during the surgery,
- 35:54Speaker 6: who's the blame the surgeon? It's not the person that
- 35:57Speaker 6: handed him the instruments. And so we're going back and
- 35:59Speaker 6: forth between hearing mister Cohen comment that is the armor's
- 36:03Speaker 6: fault that handed him a live ammunition loaded firearm versus
- 36:09Speaker 6: the blame sitting there with Alec Baldwin. That should have
- 36:11Speaker 6: been part of the pre planning, the production, the training,
- 36:15Speaker 6: everything related to how you handle firearms. So I heavily
- 36:19Speaker 6: disregard or dis approve of the opinion by mister Cohen
- 36:24Speaker 6: in terms of whose liability it falls on.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Well, another issue to me is just the simple truth.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I don't think it's all Alec Baldwin's fault, and I
- 36:33Speaker 1: don't think it's all the armor or Hannigatera's fault. I
- 36:36Speaker 1: think it's both of their faults. Okay, she handed him
- 36:39Speaker 1: a gun with a live round in it, and he
- 36:43Speaker 1: pointed the gun at a human, a real gun, not
- 36:45Speaker 1: a prop gun, and pulled the trigger and then lied
- 36:49Speaker 1: about it and said he didn't pull the trigger. So
- 36:52Speaker 1: everything he says now is down the crapper because he's
- 36:54Speaker 1: already been caught in one lie. Then you've got the
- 36:57Speaker 1: other added culpability that he is the execut to produce
- 37:00Speaker 1: her and in charge of everything on this program. Hey,
- 37:04Speaker 1: let me circle back to Daryl Cohen again, because we
- 37:07Speaker 1: got off the track on the immunity issue. If the
- 37:11Speaker 1: armorer Hannigate is is given immunity to testify against Baldwin
- 37:18Speaker 1: for the state. She cannot take the fifth. She's got
- 37:21Speaker 1: to testify.
- 37:22Speaker 10: That's very true. And there's, as you knew, two types
- 37:25Speaker 10: of immunity. There's use immunity, which they're offering her, and
- 37:29Speaker 10: there's transaction immunity. Transactional immunity is far greater, far better
- 37:35Speaker 10: for the person who's about to testify. But she cannot
- 37:38Speaker 10: take the fifth. On the other hand, what is she
- 37:41Speaker 10: to do about her trial and about the appeal? She
- 37:45Speaker 10: is between them, the proverbial rock and hard place. What
- 37:49Speaker 10: does she do better to lay low?
- 37:51Speaker 1: I want you to hear this. Take a listen.
- 37:54Speaker 7: Ever since the shooting death of Helena Hutchings on the
- 37:57Speaker 7: set of rust Alec, Baldwin has claimed he did not
- 38:00Speaker 7: pulled the trigger, even after an FBI report contradicting Baldwin's
- 38:03Speaker 7: account of the shooting, saying the trigger had to have
- 38:05Speaker 7: been pulled for the gun to fire. Baldwin says he
- 38:08Speaker 7: didn't pull the trigger. The FBI report says their testing
- 38:11Speaker 7: proves the gun could not be made to fire without
- 38:14Speaker 7: the pull of the trigger. Accidental discharge testing determined that
- 38:17Speaker 7: the firearm used in the shooting a forty five cult
- 38:20Speaker 7: single action revolver could not have fired without the trigger
- 38:23Speaker 7: being pulled. The FBI report also says with the hammer
- 38:27Speaker 7: in the quarter half cock and fully cocked positions, the
- 38:30Speaker 7: gun could not be made to fire without a pull
- 38:33Speaker 7: of the trigger. Ali Baldwin says he didn't pull the trigger.
- 38:36Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to fight with the FBI ballistics testing.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Back to Calli brandtleydallymail dot com. Now we hear Baldwin
- 38:44Speaker 1: stating in his police interrogation that Katias handed him the gun.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Was she the one that handed him the gun or
- 38:51Speaker 1: did an assistant hand him the gun?
- 38:53Speaker 3: We have conflicting stories here. We have Alec Baldwin saying
- 38:56Speaker 3: that Hannagutierra is handed in the gun. We have police
- 38:59Speaker 3: reports saying that it was an assistant director who handed
- 39:02Speaker 3: in the gun. But at the end of the day,
