Normally, I’d say that this never goes to trial and ends in a plea deal. But if the MAX he’s facing is 18 months, I think it goes to trial. I would have expected to see the prosecution “stack” a bunch of charges making it a choice of trial and risk 10 years, or plea and negotiate around those 18 months.
It’s interesting to me to not see a “trial penalty” baked in here.
He will take a plea. (IF offered)
He will serve ZERO jail time.
Huge fine and restitution.
He will get less time than Trump.
I still think this is a BS trial. If it were Chuck Norris instead of Baldwin, there would have been no charges brought.

Libtards shouldn’t be allowed to hold guns
No experienced gun owner in their right mind points a gun at someone and fires without checking if the gun is loaded. Even with an empty gun, it’s a stupid thing to do. If you want to maim or kill someone, that’s a different story.
There is a reason they suddenly moved to VT.
If Robert Downey Jr. could serve 15 months in prison for drugs and weapon (that didn’t shoot anyone) charges, then surely Baldwin can serve 18 months for causing the death of a person.
This story reminds me of the female police officer who shot a guy she and another officer were struggling to arrest. She meant to reach for her tazer, but accidently pulled her firearm and shot the guy dead. It was crystal clear she only meant to taze him, but she was convicted of murder.
18 months. Pffft. Our double standard justice system in action.
Baldwin trial problems. Court on hold for an hour because as they were about to close for the day with the trial date set the Defense informed judge that Defense was not given hundreds or even maybe thousands of documents over the course of a year though repeatedly requested for and that were due them regarding what is called ‘Discovery’ in order to prepare for their defense and give Baldwin the rights of every American a fair trial. Judge got angry, totally not happy, gave Prosecution an hour to show her what they are claiming are documents that were emails and not due Defense team because they are related to the Prosecution strategy and not info to be given. I’m sure learning stuff here watching the pre-trial. This also has been happening in the Kohberger case, and that defense claiming same. Prosecutor claimed the docs were still in investigation and info unavailable to be given, not discovered yet. I learned some of this from My Cousin Vinny, and some today.
