'Alec Baldwin once again is trying to avoid liability and accountability for his reckless actions,' attorneys for Halyna Hutchins' family said in a statement.

Alec Baldwin described meeting with the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after she was killed on the "Rust" movie set."Alec Baldwin once again is trying to avoid liability and accountability for his reckless actions before and on Oct 21st that resulted in the death of Halyna Hutchins, as demonstrated by today's arbitration demand for indemnification from the Rust production company.

The court documents also claim that when Baldwin arrived on the New Mexico set, he underwent a training session with the film's armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and that he understood from that session that he did not need to check the gun for live ammunition. "Reed did not instruct Baldwin to check the gun himself. In fact, she told Baldwin that it was her job to check the gun-not his," the documents read."Similarly, Baldwin believed, based on prior gun safety training he received on movie sets, that actors should not unilaterally check guns for live ammunition. If actors want to check a gun for their own peace of mind, they should only check the gun with the armorer closely supervising the process.

Since October 21, Baldwin had offered comfort and support to Matthew Hutchins and his son, as well as constructive input towards a settlement of the case," Baldwin's arbitration filing states."He has worked extensively to find ways to help Hutchins and his son. It is that same spirit that renders Baldwin reluctant to contradict some of Matthew Hutchins's public statements. Unfortunately, given the nature of Hutchins's accusations against Baldwin, he has no choice.

Sounds familiar. Who else is avoiding liability as of late? Hey, he doesn’t like trump. Leave him alone and forget what he did was wrong…… wait, that’s not how you play this game? I’ve been bamboozled these last several years. I thought hating trump = no liability.
