ALR291 – I Didn’t Pull the Trigger

Conservative and pro-gun voices were quick to jump on actor Alec Baldwin's claim that he did not pull the trigger of the gun which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. In today's episode, Lloyd dissects the key points in Baldwin's interview with ABC News, and shows why the critics are wrong, and why Baldwin is partly to blame, despite his efforts to point fingers elsewhere.
