I expect they will throw the Armorer under the bus. Criminal negligence resulting in a death. They should have a slam-dunk case and she is a nobody without a high-powered legal team to defend her.
They might go after the Assistant Director too. Some kind of misdemeanor firearms handling charge, in exchange for him testifying against the Armorer.
Baldwin will skate, of course. He has connections, a high-power legal team to defend him, and a plausible argument that it was not his job to ensure the safety of the firearm. By long-established industry standards, it was the Armorer's job. It's a thin argument, but it might work, and the District Attorney won't want to take any chances on losing that case.
I will enjoy checking back tomorrow to see if any of these predictions are correct.
Alex Baldwin to be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
I sure got that prediction wrong. I thought he would skate entirely.
My faith in the criminal justice system is now totally restored. Well, maybe not. But it seems like a step in the right direction.
