If he’s real nice, he can contact the Kennedy family and see
if Ted’s old neck brace is still around somewhere.
He could wear that magic device and get off. Ted did.
Well, yeah - but what about The Money Card, and the Two-Tier System of Jesters?
That might be the correct terms for new mexico laws
In other places they might not have the same term
Some states might refer to something like this as negligent homicide, just plain old manslaughter, or something else
So wherever you are, what its referred to in your neck of the woods, it might be something else generally equivalent
Charge him with depraved heart Murder 2 and make him work damn hard for a manslaughter plea deal.
His analyses are tremendous. Thanks for the update.
Long article. I can some everything up in a couple of sentences. No matter what ever comes out, Alec Baldwin is responsible for killing that woman. He took the gun, didn’t check to see if it was safe, pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger.
This time an actor will not be tried in L.A. so he won’t have home court advantage like Bobby Blake, Michael Jackson and so many others who have gotten a walk just for being celebs.
Besides, he is a C lister. If it was not for his so-so imitations of Donald Trump on snl he would only be known as the president of F.A.G. on Team America.
Time to dump the house in the Hamptons and buy one in Florida.
Well we’re waiting.. Lock him up!
As much as I hate and disrespect this jerk, he didn’t mean to kill her.
The author is hoping for manslaughter for Christmas?
Yep, exactly.
Thank you for your analysis. Fascinating reading. Wonder what the courts (notice I didn’t say justice system) will “decide”.
could baldwin’s lawyers unofficially request a temporary reprieve from a warrant to finish the remaining 13 days of shooting with minimal disruption? otherwise a lot of film people will not have food on the table and a film might remain essentially frozen forever in a half finished state. i wonder if that is the reason baldwin is scooting around now instead of behind bars or posting bail.
Looks like Baldwin could be charged with involuntary manslaughter but I’d like to hear Baldwin’s and witnesses side of the story before “rushing to judgment”. I’d also like to see an analysis of today’s culture in the movie industry about this kind of danger. Seems like there’s a lot of danger in moviemaking these days.
I don’t expect him to get much punishment IF he goes to trial and IF he gets convicted of anything.
Key thought throughout the process of this thing as it progresses. Each step of the way, imagine how you would be treated and compare that to what happens to Baldwin.
The DA can also charge him with assault.
First, he pointed the muzzle in her direction—presumably directly at her.
Second, he pressed the trigger in the manner designed to fire the weapon.
Third, he failed to first ensure that the weapon did not contain a live round.
*************************************************************************************
I would suggest the order is mixed up.
What this author labels as third should have been first, shifting his 1&2 down to 2&3.
First, check to see of the gun is loaded.
Then don’t point it at anyone.
Finally don’t pull the trigger when the gun is pointing at something.
If he did point a gun filled with blanks and pull the trigger, then he is grossly negligent, because that is an action where it is likely to cause injuries. I don't think he would have pulled the trigger deliberately in that case, although it might have been a hair trigger, and so could have been negligently fired without intent.
If the gun was supposed to contain inert rounds, his negligence is limited to not checking it by dry-firing or observing the gun dry-fired cycling the action over each chamber. That he could walk from.
