Alec Baldwin defended by SAG-AFTRA after being hit with new involuntary manslaughter charges
Fox News
Alec Baldwin received support from SAG-AFTRA as he faces new involuntary manslaughter charges for the death of Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin was charged on January 19.
The labor union defended the actor in a statement shared Thursday. SAG-AFTRA noted that it is not an actor's duty to inspect a firearm on set and slammed the prosecution's understanding as an "incorrect assessment."
"An actor’s job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert," the organization said in a statement. "Firearms are provided for use on set under the guidance of multiple expert professionals directly responsible for the safe and accurate operation of that firearm."
