Alec Baldwin shoots and kills one, injures another.

Baldwin should’ve known that the armorer ****ed up? It’ll be interesting to see how the jury sees this.

There were many failings in regard to how "prop" guns were handled and Alec Baldwin is the producer in addition to being the person holding the gun when it fired and killed a person. He was the head ************ in charge of a situation where leadership failed in their duty to protect the people working on a set where actually real guns being used as props were going to be pointed at people and the trigger was going to be pulled.

The people who quit in protest and the multiple issues that happened before the day when an absolutely innocent person was shot and killed should have resulted in a freeze of production until all issues regarding firearms handling was addressed. Baldwin, in his role as producer, should have known and almost certainly did know about these issues and he failed to act. Not only did he fail in his responsibility as the producer he, with all that producer level info and level of responsibility, also was an actor who was going to take these guns and point them in the direction of humans and pull the trigger.

He committed involuntary manslaughter in my opinion, no contest. I think he could have been charged with negligent homicide and it would have been a debate and I would have taken a wait and see stance. Involuntary manslaughter, I think he gets convicted and then slapped on the wrist. I think it'll be a really hard slap on the wrist but a slap on the wrist all the same.

With the firearm escalation on 1 of the charges, he could be looking at up to 6 1/2 years in prison.

I don't know what I think his punishment should be. I would say that he's been doing this so long that it's second nature to assume the gun only has blanks in it, and if he was told "cold gun," well, he hired the guy who told him that. I don't know who is at fault. If I were him, even with as rich as he is, I would take a plea and take the fall for it, otherwise nobody is ever going to want to work on a film he makes again.

I think he's done in Hollywood regardless.
 
Man I think the judge was on team Alec the whole time. First she said that his role as producer can't be mentioned. Now she has simply dismissed charged WITH prejudice.

He got away with negligently killing a person.

Did someone tell her he's not really Trump?
