I agree in principle - there are myriad issues to look at here. Insofar as 'negligent discharges' - there are no negligent discharges, IMO. You either know what you're doing, or you don't. And Baldwin has been an egotistical, insufferable leftist ass his entire life. (I still gotta give him props for being a decent actor, though.) It doesn't matter to me if he wrote, financed, and directed the whole movie, and it won't bring that girl back, but maybe he'll learn a little humility and contrition while he learns to live with the blood on his hands.

Nah. He's a card-carrying azzhole. Always was, always will be.

If it’s shown that by reason if mechanical defect and the happenstance of a live round being in place to discharge when it did, whether the trigger was pulled or the hammer slipped, it’s going to really impress me with the possibilities of karma working in the world. It also opens up questions about the karmic impact on the deceased woman and her family.

“maybe he’ll learn a little humility and contrition”

That usually doesn’t happen with malignant narcissists. In his mind, it’ll always be someone else’s fault.
