Alec Baldwin what the fuck

@George-K said in Alec Baldwin what the fuck:
He denies pulling the trigger, but a forensic analysis found the pistol could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.
He may not remember pulling the trigger. Another data point on why sometimes eyewitness evidence is not always so good.
I read a book by a guy who was the former head of the New York police IAD department for a long time.
They had to investigate all police shootings, and one of the interesting things is that they would interview a policeman about how many shots were fired. They (for example) may say that three shots were fired, when in reality, the number was 15-20. In the heat of the moment, things happen that the brain does not compute.

D2 is a clinical psychologist (Doctorate in such). We have talked about this, and this is a common thing that she sees. What one sees does not necessarily agree with what one remembers.

The gun has been refitted. The sear geometry is no longer the same. In a mechanical situation where a bit of sandpaper can change the trigger pull by several pounds, who can say whether a reconstruction did not take a firearm with an unsafe trigger , into a firearm with a light trigger pull?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I was wondering about that.
Somewhere, I read (heard?) that the pull on the refitted pistol was two pounds. Is that typical? A lot? A little?
Pretty low for a single-action handgun, except competition stuff. I think the Colt Custom Shop will adjust them down to that, but the Colt factory guns shipped at 3.5 to almost 5 pounds. I have heard of some Italian imports with pretty light triggers in the 2-2.5 pound range.
To me, anything under three is getting too light for everyday work.

Jolly, what do you mean by ham sandwich?
Maybe I'm the only one that doesn't get the reference?"district attorneys now have so much influence on grand juries that 'by and large' they could get them to 'indict a ham sandwich.'" - Judge Sol Wachtler
