Yes, sadly there are other people to blame and they will be blamed. Baldwin will get away with negligent homicide with a virtual slap on the wrist. "Contributing factors..." blah blah blah. "No way of knowing..." and "Following established procedures..." yadda yadda.

While someone could make a believable (probably winnable) case for blaming Baldwin and holding him accountable, someone could also make a pretty good case for excusing him. I couldn't, I don't. It is going to come down to the proclivities of the prosecutor. Given as you say the political leanings in the area, we can make a pretty good guess as to how this is going to shake out. Now, if I drive down there and shoot someone negligently...I'm not a lefty. I'd never leave NM again.

Filmmakers showed "complacency" toward safety, authorities said on Wednesday - Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza and District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies told a news conference.

Complacency is not a fighting word. They are rolling over already.
