A sane voice!

It’s also important to note that Baldwin was not charged because he was the one who shot her.

He was charged because he was a producer on the film and in that role failed to ensure a safe set.

The mistake the DA made was not charging the half dozen other producers for the same crime. Any first year law student could pull that case apart.

am no fan of Alec Baldwin, but the man did NOT commit a crime. He had no criminal intent. And it is perfectly reasonable for an actor to assume that a prop gun does not contain bullets in it, especially when there is a professional “armorer”—who is paid to make sure that props are safe.

Man slaughter is the unintentional killing of a human being, especially through negligence.

Baldwin was negligent in that he did not check the weapon in his possession was safe.

He repeatedly refused to attend firearm safety class.

Baldwin fits the dictionary definition of Man Slaughter or Negligent homicide.

You decide.
