The district attorney said once she receives all necessary reports, she and her team will make a charging decision.

Im interested in some take on this case. Im no fan of Alec, I think he’s a real jerk and not someone I would ever want to be around, but good actor. But I’ve never seen a case where such a circumstance has occurred. Obviously I don’t think he intended the shooting to occur by any means, but with that said, he did fire the gun, shouldn’t they be able to convict him on manslaughter? I’m no lawyer by any means, just feel like this is being set up to allow him to get away with zero consequences which seems very unfair in my opinion.

While I haven't followed this investigation that closely, it was a prop gun and he was told by the armorer that it was unloaded, so not sure why he would be convicted of manslaughter. However, to now say he didn't pull the trigger sounds super-sketch to me. Hard to know what to think after that comment but I have no doubt it was an accident.

I don’t necessarily disagree at all, it’s a very difficult thing. My guess would be more so guilt falls upon the individual that put the round in the chamber (not sure if they said that in the article it’s been a few hours lol). If a trial were to occur I would be very interested in how the law is interpreted in such a case. We will see though, I’m no lawyer myself.

As a believer of most conspiracies, I would guess Alec was sleeping with the woman and she was getting ready to go public. He killed her to keep her silent.

Other theory, Alec is a fvcking dumbass who pointed a gun at someone and then pulled the trigger.

Either way, Alec is a POS, which any of us with a brain has always known.

Why would you ever have a live round even on the set much less in the gun? Whoever allowed that should be charged. I don't see how you charge Baldwin with anything significant - unless he was the person who had the bullet or loaded the gun.

was it a live round? i thought it was the cap from the blank, similar to how Brandon Lee died on The Crow set
