You missed the negligent manner prerequisite. He was under active instructions on where to point that declared cold gun. There was an expectation that it was safe to do so. The responsibility for that cold gun was not his he is not qualified to verify a weapons is cold. Sorry bud. The armor girl is toast though.

He won’t be convicted I’ll put up $500 via venmo on that take that bet.

He most definitely handle the gun negligently. Again, nothing in law relieves him of that responsibility.

Any gun expert wold say that, regardless of training, failure to follow basic safety rules (pick the version you like) is a form of negligence. Balwin handled the gun without knowing the state of the gun (loaded/unloaded) knowing it WAS a real gun and COULD kill someone. He then went on to cock hammer/release hammer/pull trigger (pick whatever you like) while the gun was pointed at the chest of the dead victim, knowing it WAS a real gun and COULD kill someone. That is the very definition of negligence.

I didnt say he would be convicted. I said by law he can not escape the fact he is guilty of negligent homicide. I dont understand why you are on a crusade to proclaim he is not responsible. He should be convicted.
