as you pull the hammer to the rear the trigger engages on it and when you pull the trigger it disengages, allowing the hammer to fall forward and igniting the cartridge. if the hammer is to the rear and he's pulling the hammer back and let's go of that hammer, that's the only way that gun could fire is if the trigger is already to the rear. >> if he decided not to just let go of the hammer but to have slowly put the hammer back, the gun would not have fired, is that right? >> correct, yes. if you gently allow the hammer to fall forward, it will not set off the cartridge. >> so, sarah, as a criminal defense attorney, i'm wondering what you make of what alec baldwin was saying there -- he did not pull the trigger. i guess the question then, is he liable because he released the hammer as opposed to slowly bringing the hammer back to its original position? >> well, look, anderson, i'm not
