In the legal battle surrounding the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of the film “Rust,” Alec Baldwin’s defense hinges on various arguments, including the claim that he did not pull the trigger of the Colt .45 revolver involved.
With the trial approaching, there’s speculation about whether Baldwin’s defense strategy will successfully sway the jury, especially given the cultural context of gun ownership in the Southwest United States.
Some experts believe Baldwin’s legal team could cast doubt on the firearm’s mechanics, potentially leading to an acquittal.
However, conflicting accounts and evidence complicate the case, leaving room for uncertainty about what truly happened.
