Now, defence attorney Alex Spiro is telling jurors that the prosecution is attempting to 'tarnish' Baldwin. The court will hear 'no evidence whatsoever' that what happened to Halyna Hutchins was the actor's fault.The gun was also checked by the assistant director, Dave Halls, Mr Spiro says, and he will tell the court he 'made a tragic mistake'.On a movie set, safety has to occur before a gun is placed in an actor's hands, he reiterates again.
Saying that a 'cold gun' was announced to Baldwin - which means it had been 'checked and double checked'.'An actor's job is to act,' the lawyer says.Jurors are now being shown a scene from the film, in which Baldwin's character is Harland Rust is 'wounded on the run'.We see him sitting on a church pew bleeding as two men enter and point guns at him.'Everyone was doing exactly how they go about their business' usually on a film set, Mr Spiro says.
