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.
