During the trial for the fatal shooting incident on a movie set involving actor Alec Baldwin, defense attorney Alex Spiro emphasized to jurors the importance of safety protocols on film sets. Spiro stated that safety measures must be in place before any prop, such as a gun, is handed to an actor.
According to Spiro, before Alec Baldwin received the gun for rehearsal, it had been designated as a 'cold gun,' indicating that it had been thoroughly checked and deemed safe for use. This designation is a standard practice in the film industry to ensure the safety of actors and crew members.
The defense's argument suggests that all necessary precautions were taken before the tragic incident occurred. Spiro's statement aims to reassure the jury that the proper safety procedures were followed on the set prior to the shooting.
The trial continues as both the prosecution and defense present their cases and evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting incident. The defense's focus on safety protocols highlights the importance of adhering to strict safety measures in the film industry to prevent such tragic accidents from happening in the future.
