baldwin? >> she's one of the best friends i've ever had. >> you sometimes stayed at their house, is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> was judy always there when you stayed at the house? >> yes. >> most importantly, the defense insisted there was no crime, just two tragic accidents. and they said the state didn't have any evidence to prove otherwise. >> there was no dna. there were no fingerprints. there was no weapon. >> they called detective reynolds to the stand and attacked his investigation as shoddy. >> and what do you feel would have been better? >> the scene at the home should have been processed a little bit more. >> how does that all play into your defense? >> had they done a better job, we probably wouldn't find ourselves in this situation. they would have cleared up all those questions at that time. and this would have gone down as an accident, which is what it was. >> the defense did agree the stocking holder may have caused judy's fatal injury, but not because jamie used it as a weapo

baldwin. we also believe we have the spent shell casing from the bullet fired from the gun. >> reporter: according to a search warrant, the revolver was put into baldwin's hands by assistant director dave halls. he said the colt came from armerer hannah reed gutierrez. halls said hannah showed him the firearm but he only recalled seeing three fives. the two people who handled the weapon in this case whose job it was to ensure safety obviously made serious missteps, shouldn't they face criminal charges? >> we can't say that at this point. >> how come? >> because the investigation is not complete. we know that mistakes happened. we're not sure who did it, when they did it, how they did it. >> reporter: at the scene, investigators questioned 16 cast and crew members inside the church where hutchins, a cinematographer on the rise was killed. 600 items of evidence were recovered, including three guns and 500 rounds of ammunition, both blanks and suspected live rounds. with authorities now investiga

you have the producer, alec baldwin, blaming the armorer or the assistant director. a lot of finger pointing going on. it's almost as if they suddenly understand just how much trouble they may be in civilly and criminally. >> now you see, joe, why everyone is getting sued here. prosecutors will have to prove something beyond negligence beyond a reasonable doubt, talking about recklessness. there's nothing in the statement made by the armorer that would dissuade prosecutors from investigating her for involuntary manslaughter. no one has been accusing her of acting intentionally here. it's more of an unintentional killing based on a reckless disregard for others and what she is describing is a set that is out of control. so you can count with 100% certainty there will be civil lawsuits all over the place. the plaintiffs would only need to sue for basic negligence that they violated a duty of care on the set. and alec baldwin as a producer, as part of management, will be part of that lawsuit as a defendant. as far as criminal charges, joe, think back to 1983 when brando

the assistant director who handed baldwin the gun had a history of unsafe working conditions. police in new mexico where the set was located are investigating that incident. >>> a large storm system sweeping across the midwest. it will threaten nearly 50 million americans this week. states from oklahoma to new jersey face the threat of hail, high winds and tornados. and two children are dead after a vehicle lost control. the organized track competition was southwest of san antonio, texas. the vehicle swerved into spectators and their cars. eight others were injured, including a newborn baby girl. more right after this short break. girl. more right after this short break. whether it's ensuring food arrives as fresh as when it departs... being first on the scene when every second counts... or teaching biology without a lab. we are the leader in 5g and a partner who delivers exceptional customer support and 5g included in every plan. so, you get it all, without trade-offs. unconventional thinking, it's better for business.

baldwin discuss handed a hot gun and was told a hot gun. it fired such close range that it killed this woman tragically. >> how little information the sheriffs department at new mexico is put out this story. international interests and everyone if it was a local story that nobody cared about. would they be drag tg their feet a week later to put the most basic information out. it does not make any sense at all. >> you wonder if it's a local story or we could have gotten the information quicker. there is the fact that there is so much potential on this and celebrity names involved. >> i wonder whether that's part of the reason we are not hearing because you are right, we should have heard from the sheriff's office and there should have been the same conference the same day or the next day. all we are getting now is reporting from members of the press of what happened or people who are on the set of what happened and that's not okay. that confuses the situation. the family of the husband who died, we want to hear directly. >> the only thing i

likely alec baldwin will not look at charges. there is an armorer, by all accounts it was her second movie she had worked on, she had expressed her trepidation about her lack of experience, and the assistant director who did not check the firearm before handing it over. there is not supposed to be live ammunition on any movie set so the existence of the ammunition, some of which was live in nature, raises questions about why that happens. the cops seized the firearm in question. the ammunition was not locked up, it was available out on the set. the firearms themselves were locked up in a safe. there's a lot of unanswered questions and we're looking forward to finding out what the results of that investigation is. as a side note, if i were alec baldwin's lawyer, i would be very upset. if you're told not to speak, don't speak. and don't engage with the media or the public about this, because there is an ongoing investigation. >> and by the way, with regard to the rounds of ammunition, i believe it was reported 500 rounds of ammunit

a spokesperson from baldwin describes the shooting as an accident. detectives are looking at what type of project tile came out of the weapon. the investigation is open and active. >> it happened at bonanza ranch. actor jeff sneed was working on a different set near by. >> fatal accidents proving prop weapons have happened before. actor brandon lee died during film on "the crow" after she was shot with a shotgun. since that time, the industry put strict new protocols in place. >> a strategic question i would always ask, were the safety guidelines followed. blanks are not designed to do what the final outcome of this was. we need to investigate and find out what went wrong. >> baldwin is not omnivore the star of "rust" but also one of its producers. >> cast and crew members shared scene on the set of social media. >> thursday morning, hours before the studio, with the caption, back to the office. >> there is even some shielding protection that allowed in some of these productions. live ammunition is never allowed. they are continuing their investigati

and then there's the culpability of alec baldwin himself. the actor rehearsing the scene when he pulled the gun, a cross draw at the camera, and then subsequently that gunfired, obviously, killing halyna hutchins. i want you to listen to the ceo of west coast trial lawyers. and she talks a bit about the culpability when it comes to specifically alec baldwin. >> well, he pulled the trigger, but for him to be charged, he would actually have to have knowledge that that prop gun was loaded with a live round. if he had no knowledge whatsoever, and if the assistant director told him that it was a cold gun, and, therefore, not loaded, i would not expect for him to be charged. >> reporter: and so, chris, we learned from this affidavit that was released monday, as i mentioned earlier, and it's important i mention when he pulled the gun off the cart to hand to alec baldwin, he called cold gun on the set. and we learned alec baldwin was very careful in his handling of firearms leading up to this time period. we're going to try to piece the details toge

baldwin commented on the incident and the death for the first time in twitter. there are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of halyna hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. i am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. my heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved halyna. the police investigation is ongoing. for more on the story, we have joined. what do you know about the circumstances surrounding this tragedy. >> reporter: the details have not been revealed. we have a statement from the district attorney that says the case is under preliminary investigation. they're assisting the santa fe office. in that statement they note at this time they don't know if charges will be filed. now, ha lay in a's agent also sent a statement today. they sent everybody, saying the artists are heart broken and they hope the tragedy will reveal how to better ensure safety for every crew member onset. now, we know from the website she was originally

the trouble is deeper than we think as james baldwin said becauses trouble is in us. unless we are mature enough to confront on both sides, our democracy, the republic is in deep jeopardy, and i think we have to understand that, and thank god you're ringing that alarm every single day. >> every single day with your help. eddie glaude, thank you for starting us off. mark mckinnon, donna edwards for sticking around: when we come back, state's governor banned vaccine mandates, women in the state are living with the chaos and tragedy of the country's strictest abortion law, essentially an all out ban. an elections administrator in a county donald trump won by a landslide has been hounded out of her job. it all begs the question, what the heck is wrong in texas. with millions of kids back in school, there's a bit of reassuring news out today for parents. it sounds counter intuitive, we're going to give it to you anyway, the risk of covid in unvaccinated children is statistically lower in elderly people who are vaccinated. we'll ask a doctor to fact check and explain it. >>

baldwin. all of the details for the death of hutchins is on the table. the movie's assistant director, dave hall, said it was a cold gun holding no live rounds, beforehanding it to baldwin. was the prop firearm holding live bullets or blanks, and what was the situation. let's go in and listen to what they have to say about what kind of charging, if any, will be filed. they said everything is on the table, including the possibility of criminal charges. it could also be civil issues at play here. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to the santa fe county sheriff's office. first and foremost, i would like to offer our condolences to the hutchens family, a speedy recovery to mr. suza, and continued safety to all of the men and women in the film industry. at 1:48 p.m. we were dispatched to bonanza creek ranch. the first deputy arrived at 2:00 p.m. it was later determined that halayna hutchins and joel suza had been shot while rehearsing a scene on the movie "rust." in the initial investigation it w

in the case of baldwin, who's liable? >> i think the production crew. you should have armorers on standby to make sure the props are not live and there's no live bullets. somebody definitely dropped the ball in this case. i don't know who's responsible, but i would definitely look into it. who had access to all the weapons and who had access to that particular gun. >> i'm really glad we have you because i want to get your take on the brian laundrie situation. still tall remains were found. the lawyer is kind of pushing back on how easily his dad found his belongings which we should say is one day after it was reopened to the public. if you were on this case. would you go about the case at this particular angle? >> the fbi and police were there for over one month and in one day the laundry family was able to locate the backpack and notebook. your can't blame the people for being suspicious. it may be where they always camped, but it's definitely suspicious. their demeanor throughout has been highly suspect. you saw the father mowing the lawn when they're

that gun was subsequently handed to alec baldwin. when he was rehearsing, he was pointing the gun at the camera, which halyna hutchins was standing behind. dave sousa saw blood coming from his own shoulder, halyna had stumbled backwards and she was clutching her abdomen and said she couldn't actually feel her legs. and then, everything else kind of took place from there. the gun subsequently was then handed to the armorer, miss gutierrez reid, by alec baldwin. those shell casings, that gun was handed off to investigators. we're really kind of piecing everything together, as more and more things trickle out from this production set, jose. but we're hoping to learn, obviously, much more in the next 90 minutes or so when we hear from the sheriff's department, at noon eastern time. >> and meanwhile, glenn, local law enforcement officials haven't yet characterized their investigation as a criminal or death investigation. why do you think that is? and what are you hoping they lay out in today's press conference? >> i'm sorry, was that to m

hours from now authorities will finally hold a press conference on the shooting on the set of alec baldwin's film "rust." detectives seized 28 items including three revolvers, spent casings and ammunition in boxes, loose and in a fanny pack. it was not specified what kind of ammunition was seized, whether it was bullets, blanks or dummies. critically, we still haven't been told what was in the begin from the fatal shot. right now production on "rust" has been suspended and no one has been charged. >>> we're watching a hearing on protecting kids from everything from tiktok to youtube. the growing pressure on leaders to act on social media. >>> plus parents of childrens ages 5 to 11 turn up the volume. the fda is meeting right now about approving pfizer's vaccine for kids. about approving pfizer's vaccine for kids unconventional thinkinge see things differently, so you can focus on what matters most. whether it's ensuring food arrives as fresh as when it departs... being first on the scene when every second counts... or teaching biology without a lab. we are the leader in 5g and a partner who

future is precisely as bright or as dark as our ability to grapple with this, that was a line from james baldwin where he was trying to warn the country in 1962 in the incandescent essay he published in "the new yorker" that's the first piece in this book. he was warning the country we seem to believe that we can allow a two-tiered democracy in this society and continue to be a functional democracy and it's just not the case. if we didn't understand that, the civil war should have taught us that lesson. and so we find ourselves grappling with the same concern again and our failure to recognize these lessons of history place this is right directly in the center of our current events again. >> good morning, jelani. it's willie geist. great to have you on the show. congratulations on this book. the last part of it talks about the uprise and after. the uprise being the demonstrations we saw in the streets last year after the murder of george floyd in minneapolis. and you write eloquently not just about that moment but what comes after. so where do you think we are? have we capitalized on that moment

baldwin. this is the firearm we believe discharged the bullet. we also believe that we have the spent shell casing from the bullet that was fired from the gun. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of mr. souza. the projectile was recovered by medical personnel where he was being treated and turned over to the sheriff's office as evidence. we regard this specific spent casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired from the revolver by mr. baldwin. we have recovered what we believe to be possible additional live rounds on set. >> much of the attention in recent days has focused not only on baldwin and that assistant director but also on the film's firearms specialists also known as an armorer. court records show the gun baldwin used was one of three that the armorer, hannah gutierrez reed, had been set on a cart near were the scene was being rehearsed. joining us is msnbc's yasmin vossoughian and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade

directly from investigators in new mexico looking into that deadly shooting on the set of the alec baldwin movie "rust." we're still a ways off from any possible charges being filed but the news conference by the santa fe sheriff and district attorney

in new mexico seized the prop gun, the spent casing and the western style costume worn by actor alec baldwin when he fired the live round that killed the film's sin kagrapher and wounded the director. our colleague joins us from los angeles. welcome to you. i know some of the details are coming from court documents that were apparently released last night. yeah. the court records revealing giving us a glimpse at the timelinelet leading up to the accident. it is unclear if charges will be filed but talking to legal experts it seems there may be more than one person to blame.

baldwin says he will fully comply with this investigation. >>> the u.s. military says it carried out an air strike in syria that killed a senior al qaeda leader. it took a took place in the town of suluk near the turkish border after drones and rockets started military outpost in the country. >>> the white house delayed a release of classified documents related to president john f. kennedy's assassination nearly

there is alec baldwin the star of "rust", the film, and there is alec baldwin the producer of "rust", the film. i think in that case, you mentioned what they call the judicial district attorney, in this case santa fe is the first district attorney. she has said they are taking a wait and see approach to see will investigators find. there's also the occupational safety and hazard bureau, osha, they're doing their own investigation here to get a determination of what actually happened. you might see a lot of this to defer to our other guest as well, you might also see a lot of this dealt with by the insurance companies, to be honest. as a workman's compensation issue in terms of negligence and payouts happening from their. i doubt very much we are going to see criminal card charges of anytime against alec baldwin or anyone, but i do think this is going to be a very long process. we've seen things like what happened on the, many, many years ago with brandon louis. we saw this in the film midnight writer with the death of one of its crew members. >> we're actually going to be talking with

so i think i'd want to trace back what was told to alec baldwin. it appears that he was told cold gun. what was told to that person about what was in the gun and anyone else. and so i think there are potential crimes here, if not of kind of an involuntary manslaughter by alec baldwin, potentially by his production company for failing to take due care if it amounts to gross negligence. >> what do you think with regard to alec baldwin, though? i mean, it's potentially he could look at involuntary manslaughter. but you don't think that would be the case even though he's a very experienced actor, one would assume that he knows about how to handle guns properly. but then, again, that does come into the responsibility of others who are trained, they're specifically on the set to make sure that he knows what he's doing with it. i mean, is there anything into how he used the gun? would that have to be something that would be looked at relative to alec baldwin? >> again, all the facts are going to matter, alex. but i think he's less likely to face personal

why did alec baldwin not check the gun before he took it? why didn't he check the bullets and, you know, just a lot of questions. i'm sure they'll figure it out with the investigation. >> when someone says "cold gun," what exactly does that mean? >> there's no bullets in the gun. >> okay. and before saying that -- >> if it's a hot gun, it has -- >> you're going to check that, right, before you have a -- okay. but if there are three guns, as was the case in this, we do know that, in fact, there were three guns on some sort of a cart that was outside of the small church in which they were doing the filming and that's where that was being stored. if there are three guns out there, i mean, you got to check them all. there's no way you cannot go through all of them, right? >> first of all, i would not have three guns sitting on a cart, they'll be with me in my bag, secured, and nobody will be able to come up and look at it. i would be the one presenting it to the assistant director, the actor, any crew member that's interested in seeing it. i wou
