Geez! The protocols are extreme! I’m glad Dershowitz thinks Baldwin should be held responsible. Innocent or not…I’d like to see him carted off to jail.

It appears that most of those safety precautions, were ignored.

However, I do believe Dershowitz is correct when he states that, going forward, legal measures must be in place to ensure that gun safety protocols are followed.

Aren't there already legal penalties in place?

There is no "actor's exception," is there? Wouldn't the same penalties that apply in one's home when a child is accidentally killed also apply on a movie set when a crew member is killed?

The fact that the movie industry has voluntarily developed its own procedures for handling guns safely doesn't prevent the law from applying when those procedures are violated.

When a child is killed in the home, nobody wonders whether there is enough evidence to charge the parent or not. So why does the question arise if there is enough evidence to charge the actor who held the gun and was witnessed pulling the trigger?

A parent would clearly not intend to shoot their child, and the actor would clearly not intend to shoot the crew member. That doesn't let the actor off the hook for the crew member's death on the set, just as it doesn't let the parent off the hook for their child's death in the home.

One of the first thingsd I was taught about firearms is that you never trust anothere persons word about whether or not they are loaded. When you take possession of a firearm, the first thing you do is check to see if it is loaded or not.

This answers the question of why the Baldwin family packed up and moved back to The Hamptons the morning after the homicide.

Homicide just means death by the acts of another human. It doesn’t mean murdered. Which is the intentional killing of another.

Alan Dershowitz, an emeritus law professor at Harvard, is one of the greatest legal minds of our time

That is a laugh! This clown is an expert of law on nothing more that OJ, dogs chasing cars, Tiger King, Laundrie, and two bit actor Baldwin?

What about the lawlessness in DC Alan? What about the FBI going after parents? What about the 600+ political prisoners being held illegally in a DC jail? Alan is nothing more than another Jessie Jackson, an ambulance chaser and publicity hound.

With that many picky protocols it is inevitable they will be ignored.

Alec is a lib, libs are inherently stupid, they are born that way, how do you think they became libs?

As such , I avoid extended interactions with libs. Be it work, home, church, walmart. Get in, get what you need done, move on. I sure as hell wouldn't be around any lib with a weapon.

Alec is lucky he didn't shoot himself. .

on a side note, All my lib friends are now former friends. Trump was the cure for liberalism. They went nuts and could no longer control their hateful hidden thoughts, like demons hearing the name of Jesus!

Trump was to libs what salt is to slugs.

“Alan Dershowitz believes that Alec Baldwin’s shooting of Halyna Hutchins could be considered a homicide.”

Any time one human being kills another human being it’s a homicide. The only question is if that homicide was legally justifiable or not.

In Baldwin’s case it Mose certainly wasn’t.

Attorney Andrew Branca is a much better choice for discussion of such issues. He has an ongoing vlog, usually daily during the course of events or during the active trial, about important cases such as Aubrey, Rittenhouse, and now Baldwin, and he lays it out with dispassionate fact and logic. And it is his speciality area. Check him out:

https://lawofselfdefense.com/

Spoiler alert: He thinks it's a clear case that Baldwin should be charged with negligent homicide per New Mexico law. Baldwin is the one who did the final action that caused the death and injury--everyone before that might have some part in it, but Baldwin is the one who could have checked the weapon for safety, not pointed it at the target, and not fired it, but he didn't. Maximum jail time for that in NM is 18 months, but he likely wouldn't see that much.

Shucks, even Eddie Eagle level instruction would have saved Baldwin--if you see a gun, stop, don't touch, leave the area, tell an adult! Emphasis on the "adult" part.

We often exchange guns at the range to zero into weapons "we got to have". Once a person hands me a weapon, it is totally mine until I hand it back. I make sure the magazine is out and the chamber is clear. Pointing a gun at someone is a no-no. I haven't worked that much with blanks but if the same gun can shoot blanks or live rounds, it makes sense that the person pulling the trigger should have some moral responsibility to check the contents.

Maybe there is not enough criminality in his action to warrant jail time, but his anti-gun spokesman days have to be over. When a 60+ man who has probably gone through the gun handling procedures for movie props dozens of times can't pick it up like millions of basic trainees, he is probably not a credible source.
