Acquitted of destroying evidence for allegedly disposing of some cocaine.
Watched a couple of YouTube videos discussing the case. There were questions about where the live ammunition came from and there was footage of Alec Baldwin shooting a scene firing a gun then demanding the armorer hurry and reload so they could do a retake.

Why even use real guns? They have to use fake guns anyway when they have an actor who's a convicted felon. There was a scene in this movie where a 13-year-old fires a gun and accidentally kills a man and they didn't use a blank---they added smoke and muzzle flash digitally.
I know I'm repeating myself but actors have been killed and injured firing blanks on movie sets before. Bruce Willis suffered hearing loss on the set of a Die Hard movies by firing blanks in a closed space. And there was the time that real, fully functional submachine guns were stolen from the set of The Untouchables around 1960.
I still want to know if that film professor had any second thoughts about demanding that college kids use only real guns in their student films.
