more explanation, if you will, there is still a lot more questions to be investigated, to be looked into, dutch. well, what really came to my attention during that interview was he described the physical positioning, the relationship of the people in the room. and it sound as though halyna, the director of photography, was to the right of the camera, what we call camera right, as alec was looking she would appear left of the camera. and she was focused at the little monitor on the side of the camera. and i imagine this typically as a case for director of photography or camera operator, they re laser focused on just what s in that box and not paying attention to what s here, because that s their job. she could have been giving him guidance saying move the gun this way, that way, okay, that s the spot, which means alex was then pointing at her, which is odd in the sense that what was alex s focus on that he didn t know he was pointing at her or he was just following orders, and there w
responsibility, in getting that gun, letting their child have that gun or what they knew about the child who would know better than the parents. this is a new frontier in terms of imposing responsibility on people for these kind of mass shootings. what kind of challenge is it proving these charges? i mean, this is we ve got a lot more to learn here now. yeah. it s difficult for prosecutors. you have to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt. important to keep in mind the prosecutor does not have to prove that parents knew or intended, okay, he s going to go out and kill people or harm people. it s a lower bar than that. you have to prove what the parents did was inexcusebly rkless, criminal negligence, they created or contributed to a situation they should have foreseen could have been dangerous to somebody s life or someone s great bodily harm. that s a lower bar than what you think of as your traditional intentional murder, but yes, prosecutors will have to prove this case b
there are two particularly loaded words legally here that you could tell alex baldwin was on the lookout for guilt and responsibility. and what i read into that clip is what alec baldwin was told is, look, you cannot acknowledge guilt or responsibility, because those two things could come back to haunt you in court. you can talk about your emotion and reaction, but watch out for those words. you could see him steering very clear of giltd and responsibility and focusing more on his emotional reaction, which is a safer place to be. dutch, i wanted to ask you, because baldwin says it very clearly, like, to him, the only question to be resolved is where did that live round come from, where did that bullet come from. someone brought those live rounds in on the set and how they ended up in the gun. from your experience, whose ultimate responsibility is it to make sure any weapon is safe on set? well, firstly, i would say that s not the only question.
a number of combinations could happen. the rumor about the plinking has yet to be verified. the sheriff reiterated that day or earlier they d taken the prop heerp row gun and done some live shooting with it, but that has not been verified. i highly doubt that was the case. thank you. coming up for us, new rules going into effect in just days. stricter testing requirements for all travelers coming into the united states. what you need to know next. if you just hold it like this. yeah. i love finding out things that other people don t want me to know. mm-hmm. [beep] i just wanted to say. find yourself in these situations and see who you are. and that s just part of the bargain. [energetic music throughout]
there, and she was there for a while. i was amazed at how long they didn t get her in a car and but they waited and a helicopter came. by the time the helicopter took off with her and literally lifted off, we were all glued to that process outside. when she finally left, i don t know how long it was, 30 minutes, 40 minutes. it seemed like a very long time. they kept saying was she stable. just as you disbelieved there was a live round in the gun you disbelieved this was going to be a fatal accident. you didn t know exactly how serious it was. at the end of my interview with the sheriff s department, they said we regret to tell you she didn t make it. that s when i went in the parking lot and called my wife. joining me right now is dutch marek, prop master and armorer, and cnn senior legal analyst
