Evidently prosecutors had charged Baldwin with a crime (a firearm enhancement penalty) that wasn’t on the books when Baldwin shot and killed Halyna Hutchins.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. I don’t expect Arec Barwin to ever see the inside of the gray bar motel.

Meanwhile, the female cop who accidently shot the guy who was violently resisting arrest rots in prison.

As much as I detest Barwin, it made no sense to charge him with breaking a law that wasn’t on the books at the time of the shooting. I can’t imagine that they’d have prevailed on that count.

The prosecutor’s office complained about Baldwin’s “big-city lawyers” making legal arguments. I think small-city lawyers could figure out that you can’t prosecute someone under a statue that did not exist at the time of the alleged crime. Even Kamala Harris could figure that out-—well, maybe not....

“But when the shooting occurred in late 2021, the firearm enhancement penalty carried a three-year mandatory sentence.”

This is why lawyers and the legal system sucks. The law was in-place for a three-year mandatory sentence. Why not amend the charge to the original instead of wiping the slate clean?

Eventually these charges will go away entirely. They just can’t let it appear that they are different standards according to who you are.

It’s appropriate there’s way too much emotion and political shit going on around this

I loathe Alec Baldwin and would not lose a minutes sleep if he wound up in prison.

That said, Merle Haggard spent 2 years in prison and came out determined to be the next Johnny Cash and boy did he, big time. Then, Ronald Reagan pardoned him.

Arguably, Baldwin could just accept responsibility for being the dumbass that he is and plea bargain for a year in prison.

I don’t wish to compare a punk like him to a man like Haggard but if he wants to have a career after this is all over, accepting responsibility might help his woeful reputation.

As producer of “Rust”, Baldwin will end up paying her family MILLIONS. That is the main event to come.

New Mexico prosecutors, after receiving more than generous donations, have downgraded felony charges against Alec Baldwin and the armorer in the fatal “Rust” shooting, removing the threat that either could spend years in prison.
