“It certainly looks suspicious to the average person”
“If Alec Baldwin has deleted text messages or calls, he might have been guilty of disregard of the judiciary. But there is also the possibility that he would like to keep personal messages, for example between himself and his wife, private. That would not be shocking” , so the lawyer.
Investigators had previously asked Baldwin regarding his cell phone because they suspect that there were important conversations in connection with the death of the camerawoman Halyna Hutchins with the prop gun that the actor fired on the set of the movie “Rust” in October, which contained real ammunition.
Baldwin’s lawyers had refused to hand over the actor’s cell phone unless they had a search warrant. The fact that Baldwin has not released his cellphone to this day would, according to Kearon, contradict the actor’s promise to cooperate fully with the police. “It is not in line with his promise to work with law enforcement early on,” said the lawyer. “It certainly looks suspicious to the average person.”
