“Unfortunately, that was ripped away from me when Alec Baldwin discharged his gun and killed my daughter. “Alec Baldwin continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologise to me and his refusal to take responsibility for her death. “Instead, he seeks to unjustly profit from his killing of my daughter.
