responsible for handling guns on sets and baldwin says it s up to that person to make sure they re safe for use. one person supposed to make sure what s in the gun is right and what s wrong is not in the gun. one person has that responsibility to maintain the gun. what is the actor s responsibility? i guess that s a tough question because the actor s responsibility going this day forward is very different than it was the day before that. reporter: an investigation is under way working to determine how live rounds made it on set. no one has been charged with a crime in connection with the shooting. baldwin believes he s in the clear. i ve been told by people who are in the know in terms of even inside the state, that it s highly unlikely i would be charged with anything criminally. reporter: baldwin says the focus should be on hutchins and director joel souza who was injured. i don t want to sound like i m a victim. again, we have two clear victims
i couldn t give a [ bleep ] about my career anymore. we should note in an interview with nbc news, lawyers for the film s armorer say she loaded the gun with what she thought were dummy rounds before baldwin used it on set. let s discuss with cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. i just wonder, what stood out to you the most during that interview? you know a number of things. good to be with you. you could look to his demeanor, his sincerity. at the same time you could focus on the fact that he described specifically how the gun went off, not really admitting he pulled the trigger, saying he did not, but giving the indication he had not the trigger but at least the hammer portion and describing that. i was surprised that he would be that descriptive or his lawyers would allow him to be so descriptive on such a definitive issue. clearly he s been moved by this. i think a number of people have been moved by this and i think he had a public relations imperative

legally to speak. i understand the public relations portion. he wants the world to know how upset he feels, but it s always best not to say a word. it only comes back to harm you. no one says the same things twice under different questioning at different times. in fact, let s play the part in which you alluded he describes handling the gun. i said to her in this scene i m going to kok the gun. do you want to see that. she said yes. i take the gun and start to kok the gun. i m not going to pull the trigger. she goes, tilt it down like that. can you see that in? can you see that? she says i let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off. i let go of the hammer of the gun the goun goes off. he says he didn t pull the trigger. the gun went off after he let go of the hammer. legally does it matter? the core issue is the
