The prosecution is a joke. This should have never went to trial in the first place before the blundering idiots shot themselves in the foot sorry for the figure of speech.

In that situation I would check the gun to make sure it was loaded with blanks. Blanks and live ammo have a distinctly different look. I'm sure I was brought up in a lot different environment than Badwin. I'm very big on gun safety. I assume everything I touch is loaded, until I check it myself. |

It strikes me as the same kind of thing as committing perjury by making 2 different assertions that cannot both be true. Unless I'm mistaken, the prosecution doesn't have to prove which one is false, but simply that the 2 cannot both be true. |

Perhaps some sort of wrongful death suit at the absolute worst but I dont see what he did wrong, especially in the criminals sense. |

Didn't he state he didn't pull the trigger? How is that even possible? IRRC

I don't see how Alec Baldwin did anything different than every other film in history where guns are involved and people did NOT die. OH he's in charge though so let's send him to jail
what is this, the Empire Strikes Back? It's nonsense. |

That's kind of a questionable defense. I think you have to charge the guy who was holding the gun when the gun killed someone, even if he claims that "people don't kill people, guns kill people". Otherwise, every hoodlum in South Chicago gets to walk because, hey, they were just holding the gun and it fired on its own. The jury can then decide if it was an accident or whatever. But I think you need to charge the person just to figure out what happened. |
