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.

A real man would do that. But Baldwin is not a real man. He’s just another Hollywood phony. And he’d immediately fire any attorney who’d suggest such a thing.
As a side note, many years ago some famous American actor (I forget who) was convicted of marijuana possession in the UK. He was in the States at the time. But he accepted responsibility, voluntarily went back to the UK, and served his time.
I think I got that story right. I just wish I could remember who it was.
