You are one of my favorites here so I will be kind and excuse the suggestion that I don’t understand the law. Seems like you are suggesting I am somewhat simpleminded. I am brilliant actually. You don’t have to be brilliant to understand the difference between criminal and civil liability. Baldwin, who you seem to be a real fan of, likely has no criminal liability here. Someone does though because somehow a live round got in that gun. This is a slam dunk civil case though. Someone died here. This is a clear civil wrongful death lawsuit. So the family will get as much monetary compensation as possible here. Eventually. Back to Baldwin. Even though you are a big fan of his (scary since he is well known to be a dirtbag of the highest order) you have to admit that pointing a weapon at someone is beyond moronic. Criminally negligent no doubt. Pulling the trigger makes it more so. The cherry on the lawsuit is that the victim wasn’t an actor. She wasn’t in a gun fight scene. Yet Baldwin, an idiot of the highest order, pointed the weapon at her and PULLED THE TRIGGER. An astounding act of negligence even for a demented oaf like Baldwin. So yes Baldwin probably has no criminal risk here. Someone does though. Everyone involved with the production of that film will be held accountable civilly. That I am sure of. Most likely an out of court settlement. Baldwin can go back to threatening people on NY city streets.
