Unfortunately the FBI just gave his lawyer a big reasonable doubt argument

[SaxxonWoods]

If they believe Baldwin they’ll charge the pistol.

[TChad]

“Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case...”

[BipolarBob]

It’s always reassuring to see the two tier justice system unfold.

[TalBlack]

I’m gonna guess no charges.

[DesertRhino]

How? They said it functioned normally and would only fire if the trigger was pulled. He can’t argue that it just “went off”.

[CFW]

Squirrel!

There goes tomorrow’s headlines!

[algore]

Who believes anything the FBI says?

[MileHi]

How so?

[lee martell]

She probably won’t charge him. From the beginning, I could tell that this district attorney was going to slow walk and drag her feet to reach any conclusion. She’s too Chicken!
A different manner for citizens of a different social status.

[DesertRhino]

Oh yeah, good point.

Anyway, I doubt he’ll face a charge. Or it’ll be some minor procedural charge. Meanwhile, there a people in New Mexico sitting in prison for shooting someone at a party with a gun they thought wasn’t loaded.

In his suit, Baldwin accuses Gutierrez-Reed of failing to verify that a Colt revolver he was using in rehearsal was safe. The suit also states that Halls failed to check the weapon before he declared it safe and handed it to Baldwin...

...who also didn't bother to check the revolver. But only one of them pointed it at a human being and fired it.

[dfwgator]

Of course there will be no charges. Alec Baldwin is protected.

[twister881]

Prediction: No charges for Worfress Arec Barrwin.

In recent case: The Santa Fe New Mexican notes, “Carmack-Altwies said that while it will be difficult to identify the specific victims in the toppling of the obelisk on Oct. 12, anyone is welcome to present their grievances to the program’s mediator, Debra Oliver.”
Still, people are not happy with her weak-on-crime approach to holding these vandals accountable. One commenter said, “Mary, It is called ‘you let em go free.’” These words ring loud and clear for many New Mexicans, especially those in Santa Fe who will now have a chance to kick out Mayor Alan Webber, responsible for letting the obelisk get toppled as he commanded the police to stand by and watch.

[TheDon]

They’re called wealth sovereigns for a reason!

I’d like go take that gun apart. There’s a leaf-spring on the back of the hand that I’m curious about. I’ve got a similarly designed tevolver with that spring broken. If I cock it while it’s pointed downward, gravity pulls the trigger down and locks it at full cock. Held level, or higher, neither half-or full-cock pawls engage. Cock the hammer, release, and it falls on the primer.

Someone needs to go down for the live ammo, at least.

[muir_redwoods]

There was no accident. There was gross negligence.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Who had January 19th in the office pool?

[Delta 21]

She is a Commiefornia transplant to Sante Fe.....so.
