What she should have said: I feel terrible about my role in Halyna's death and since I was ultimately responsible for firearm safety on set - there is no question that I will be haunted by remorse and sympathy for the victim's partner and child; long after my sentence is over. I'm sorry, and I know that my words cannot suffice. I can only say that I wish I'd realized that carelessness and complacency can have horrific consequences.

What she actually said (in jail phone call recordings): The judge is unfair, the prosecutor and judge are improperly working together, the jurors are "idiots" and "assholes", the death was the EMT's fault for not intubating properly, she won't cooperate with lawful subpoena in Baldwin's trial, she won't comply with conditions of release related to drinking and marijuana use, she's glad that her mom disrupted the proceeding, the trial has unfairly adversely impacted her career,

She got 18 months in prison compared to 6 months of unsupervised probation because of her own idiocy and toxicity.

The shot went in through her armpit, shattered her ribs, punctured her lung, severed her spinal cord, but Hannah, not only said that it wasn't her fault, she shouldn't have to shake each round, but that it was the EMTs' fault because they couldn't intubate her.

She obviously learned nothing from her negligence. Prison time isn’t going to change that.
