Heard a couple attorneys talking about Baldwin saying basically the same thing. HE’s not going to walk away from this unscathed.
Try to imagine the scenario where someone shoots and kills a person, claims it was an accident and does not get arrested immediately. It happens if you are a Hollywood, liberal icon with a strong anti Trump pedigree and the cops are under the control of Democratic politicians. “Oh. OK Mr.Baldwin. Perfectly understandable. You have a nice day Sir.”
