Breaking news: Multiple news outlets are now reporting Actor and Never Trump activist Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins from October 2021.
I predict he is not only convicted but serves at least 6 months in the Big House.
How about others chiming in with how they think this all plays out too.
At least in New Mexico assuming Baldwin is ultimately convicted of a felony his voting rights are not likely restored upon mere completion of prison time (must also get off parole and probation status).
More significantly New Mexico prohibits people convicted of felonies to wait 10 full years subsequent to prison time, parole and probation from possessing a firearm.
I am pleasantly surprised of this. I thought given his status this all get swept under the rug. Any one of us done that would get the book thrown at us. I did read that if convicted with the use of firearm it gives a mandatory minimum of 5 years? Also i read the handler who gave the firearm to baldwin is facing charges as well.
I’ll take that bet. Liberals go to jail sometimes too, especially when they accidentally shoot someone on film with a dozen witnesses. He won’t be there long and he won’t suffer, but he’ll be convicted.
New Mexico is also simultaneously charging the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed along with Alec Baldwin on two counts of involuntary manslaughter. Interesting enough, the film’s assistant director, Dave Hall, already agreed to a plea deal on lesser charges. So we might have someone in DH at the trial already agreeing to sing like a canary making it extra difficult for especially AB to beat the rap…
Maybe I’m not familiar with all the facts of the case but what is his culpability here ? He had no reason to suspect that the gun was loaded with live rounds.
I guess either way it’s dumb to point a gun at people and shoot, so I kinda get it.
