Alec is stating he pulled the hammer back (not to the point of cocking) and released it without his finger on the trigger. That's how it fired. (CNN)

Wonder how many more times the story will change?

It would be an easy thing to confirm or disprove.

Multiple attempts with the gun could be made with a variety of different primed cases. If the half cock is correct, it will catch the dropped hammer before the hammer can be pulled back far enough to have enough energy to ignite the primer.

About the only way I could see it happening is if someone installed a very high rate hammer spring - something very unlikely - as doing so would give the trigger a very heavy pull.

Or if the trigger/notch was defective.

Trigger does not effectively engage notch. i.e. broken tip, broken/worn down notch

A broken engagement? I suppose - but it would be pretty obvious - when the hammer would not stay cocked.....

And ultimately?

It really makes no difference. He still pointed a loaded gun at someone and fired it. He is still guilty of negligent homicide.

Mr Baldwin really needs to shut the fuck up. What's the matter with him? Doesn't he have a lawyer? Even if he hasn't been charged, he might be, so he needs to button it.
