Lets look at his net worth -
Ah yes he will get a slap on the wrist at worst
Yes, that is the most likely outcome based on all available historical data.
But, I will say the DA and local court system don’t seem to be playing along with making it easy.
So, while money is a statistically significant predictor in these situations, it’s not providence.
Good. They really should pin on the working conditions. These clowns over work and under staff and when something bad happensz it is always some nobody wage slave who is at fault.
I agree, but I will say that the armorer was exceptionally negligent. Like, seriously went above and beyond to be unsafe in her role and her handling of the weapons.
But even though she does bear some responsibility, ultimately it was Baldwin’s fault. Not because he pulled the trigger, but because he was in charge of the conditions on set, was aware of all the safety concerns raised the crew, and he was responsible for keeping the completely unqualified armorer on the crew.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A judge in New Mexico denied Alec Baldwin’s bid to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge he faces in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the movie “Rust,” ruling on Friday that the case had been properly presented to a grand jury.
Since the fatal shooting on Oct. 21, 2021, Mr. Baldwin has argued that he is not responsible for Ms. Hutchins’s death, maintaining that he had no reason to believe the gun had been loaded with a live round, which was banned on the set of “Rust,” a western.
The prosecution responded in court papers that the testing was completed only after Mr. Baldwin claimed that he did not pull the trigger, to determine if his account of events was possible, and that the issue was not sufficient to warrant dismissing the case.
They have also sought to capitalize on the conviction of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the movie’s armorer, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in a jury trial this year and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Mr. Nikas quoted a prosecutor at Ms. Gutierrez-Reed’s trial, Jason J. Lewis, saying that “it’s a hard and fast industry rule that live ammunition should be miles away from a film set at all times.”
In response, the prosecution argued that Mr. Baldwin disregarded substantial risks on set that day, declining to participate in the armorer’s safety check and handling the gun in a way that the rehearsal did not call for.
