This was a bullshit prosecution.

Do you still feel that now?

I do. In fact, I feel it even more strongly.

He picked up the gun, he pointed it, and he fired it.

But negligence isn't enough to prove involuntary manslaughter.

If they can prove that he's lying about pulling the trigger,

if I'm on that jury, I'm like, whoa.

I think he's super guilty. He pulled the trigger.

The fact that he decided to trot out his infinitely fertile wife and his Brady Bunch

and do all these shenanigans and act like someone hasn't died at his hands.

For me, it's disgusting.

This case would not have been refiled after it was dismissed, but for the fact that it's

Alan Baldwin. They took a mallet to this gun so that the defense could not retest it.

Pierce, I would say, only thing that can stop Ballin here is his own hubris. I think he's

going to testify. I would not let him anywhere near that span if I was representing him.

Alan Ballwood's 35-year career has ended in 14 major awards and an Oscar nomination.

But it could end up with 18 months in jail.

The star is facing trial for involuntary manslaughter over the fatal shooting

of cinematographer Helena Hutchins,

on the set of Rust, a movie he was producing and starring in.

Weeks afterwards, he gave this interview to ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

Well, the trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger. The gun was supposed to be empty.
