CLAIMING HIS INNOCENCE.
>> I DIDN’T PULL THE
TRIGGER.
>> YOU NEVER PULLED TRIGGER.
>> NO, NO, I WOULD NEVER.
KENNEDY: EXCEPT FOR THE TIME
WHERE YOU POINTED A GUN AT
SOMEONE, SOMING LEGAL EXPERT
BELIEVE THAT INTERVIEW DID
MORE HARM THAN GOOD, WHAT
WILL HIS COURTROOM STRATEGY
LOOK LIKE, DOES HE HAVE A
CHANCE OF BEATING THE
CHARGES, JOINING HE NOW TO
DISCUSS.
LEGAL ZOOM FOUNDER, ROBERT
SHAPIRO JOINING THE PROGRAM.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH
KENNEDY, FIRST, MY
SYMPATHIES TO THE HUMP
INHALYNA HUTCHINS’ FAMILY.
>> AND YOU KNOW AT HEART OF
THIS, THERE IS A TRAGEDY,
THERE IS ALSO BEEN A YEAR
LONG INVESTIGATION.
SEEMS AS THOUGH PROSECUTORS
AND FBI HAVE BEEN PRETTY
THOROUGH.
DO YOU LIKE ALEC BALDWIN’S
ATTORNEY’S CHANCES FIGHTING
THE CHARGES?
>> WITHOUT A QUESTION, TO
CONVINCE 12 PEOPLE BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT THAT ALEC
BALDWIN HAD THE NECESSARY
CRIMINAL INTENT TO COMMIT TO
CRIME IS GOING TO BE
EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT.
WHAT THEY WILL HAVE TO SHOW,
LET ME GO RIGHT TO THE JURY
INSTRUCTION, HIS CONDUCT PERSONALLY HAS TO BE SO
PERSONALLY HAS TO BE SO
RECKLESS, 1 TON.
>> THAT IS AN EXTREME BURDEN
THEY HAVE TO PROVE TO 12
PEOPLE BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT.
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT THEY
WILL EVEN COME CLOSE TO
THAT.
KENNEDY: WHAT ABOUT HANNAH
GUTIERREZ-REED, SHE IS THE
ARMORER DO BLUFF SHE BELIEVE
SHIAS MORE CULPABILITY.
>> SHE HAS A MORE DIFFICULT
CASE.
SHE IS ACTUALLY THE PERSON
IN CHARGE OF THE AMMUNITION,
SOMEHOW, A LIVE ROUND GOT
INTO THAT GUN AND FROM THE
INFORMATION I KNOW OF HER
RESPONSIBILITIES, THAT IS
SOMETHING SHE SHOULD HAVE
CHECKED AND MADE SURE THERE
WAS ONLY DUMMY AMMUNITION
INVOLVED IN THE GO GUN.
KENNEDY: I TALKED WITH A GUN
STORE OWNER IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY, WHO KNOWS HER QUITE
WELL, DID NOT HAVE GREAT
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HER THE
DAY AFTER THE SHOOTING AND
ASSUMED THAT IT WAS HER
RESPONSIBILITY.
SO, WHERE DOES THE CASE GO
FROM HERE?
>> FROM HERE, PROSECUTION I
THINK, IS REALLY GOING TO
HAVE A BATTLE THEY ARE NOT
GOING TO WIN.
NUMBER ONE YOU HAVE A
POPULAR PUBLIC FIGURE,
SECOND, TO SHOW THAT HIS
STATE OF MIND PERSONALLY WAS
SO RECKLESS FOR DISREGARD OF
HUMAN LIFE, HE IS AN ACTOR,
HE IS NOT THERE TO CHECK
AMMUNITION, I AM FAR FROM AN
EXPERT, I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA
WHEN A DUMMY BULLET LOOKS
LIKE OR CASING WITH
AMMUNITION.
HE IS RELYING ON OTHER
PEOPLE.
MUCH LIKE ANY ACTOR WOULD.
HE IS NOT AN EXPERT TO THE
BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.
AND EVEN IF HE WAS, I DON’T
THINK HE HAS A
RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK AND
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS
ACCURATE WENT THAT WEAPON.
LOOK, THERE IS A CIVIL CASE,
WHERE THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS
MUCH LESS, IT IS SIMPLE
NEGLIGENCE.
PERHAPS, THEY WILL PREVAIL
THERE.
BUT IN A CRIMINAL CASE, THEY
ARE NOT GOING TO PREVAIL, HE
WILL BE ACQUITTED AS HE
SHOULD BE.
KENNEDY: HALYNA HUTCHINS’
FAMILY DID SETTLE WITH THE
FILM.
THEY DID REACH A SET WILL
SETTLEMENT THERE.
HE WASN’T JUST AN ACTOR, HE
WAS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
AND HE HAS WORKED WITH
FIREARMS ON MOVIE SETS FOR
DECADES.
AND I’M HEARING FROM MY
COWORKER, BRIAN KILMEADE, HE
WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF HIS
FATHER’S RIFLE CLUB AND VERY
FAMILIAR WITH FIREARMS FROM
A YOUNG AGE.
IF THEY BRING ALL THAT UP, I
DON’T KNOW IF IT IS AS MUCH
AS A SLAMDUNK.
MR. SHAPIRO, LAST TIME I SAW
YOU, IT WAS SO GREAT, HE
WERE AT ROBERT EVANS HOUSE
IN HIS BEDROOM TALKING WITH
ROBERT EVANS, YOU, ME AND
SLASH THAT HAPPENED.
>> OH, MY GOD.
YEAH, WELL I CERTAINLY, AS I
AM SURE YOU DO MISS ROBERT
EVANS, LOOK AT THESE.
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER IS A
TITLE.
I DON’T THINK THAT -- MANY
TIMES SEE 5 OR 7 EXECUTIVE
PRODUCERS.
>>
JIM: THIS A
JIM:
KENNEDY: HE WAS IN CHARGE,
I’M TELLING MY EXECUTIVE
PRODUCER THAT IS A TITLE.
WE HAVE TO GO, PLEASE COME
BACK ON THE SHOW.
>> I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO,
THANK YOU SO MUCH KENNEDY,
