Seeing Kim Potter getting potentially 15 years for a high stress situation that led to a mistake, well then what about Alec? I’m betting he gets nothing but sympathy, and we all know why.
First of all, I agree that Alex Baldwin should get some sort of punishment, as did Kim Potter.
Why is there a difference in how the two are treated.
Baldwin somehow gets a loaded gun, swears he did not pull the trigger, yet manages to shoot and kill someone. I am sure he did not mean to kill the woman but the gun shot did the job.
As for Kim Potter, I found out recently that the jury requested both the regular gun and the stun gun.
They found Potter guilty and I ponder....I am no expert, least of all on stun guns, but the assertion is that it was very unlikely that Potter could have confused a stun gun for a regular gun.
And it makes sense. Stun guns weigh far less than regular guns. The jury, I assumes, felt that Potter shrugged over pulling out her regular gun instead of the stun gun and shot the guy running from the crime anyway. By the way, stun guns and regular guns are worn on different sides of the body, so I read.
I figure Baldwin pulled that trigger and killed that woman. I figure Potter pulled the trigger and killed the escaping criminal.
The difference in the way these people are treated is astounding. Baldwin should pay some price.
