If you read the whole thing it says that according to New Mexico law anything they find unrelated to the crime has to be sealed.

Baldwin in in a whole lot deeper than bystander.

His interview where he blamed Hutchins for pointing the weapon at her was unsettling.

I did see that they are limited to material related to the shooting.

The unsettling thing is that in the digital world we are mixing information that was never mixed in the physical world. And recording information that was never recorded.

Despite the seal, strangers will pick through all that information. And he will rely on strangers to keep it confidential and safe from hackers, etc…

That was just an example that you can be pulled into an investigation without malice on your part… and then all your digital records become available to the authorities.

It is the result of technology rather than legal overreach, but it does not sit well with me all the same.

I predict his phone is about to be reported stolen. :wink:

There are quite a few ways to encrypt things if it bothers you. I use a vpn, no warrant can get my texts as one example. And I don’t let my browser or say youtube save my history. Only thing I worry about is them somehow getting my browser history anyway, since we look up so many crazy subjects because we debate here. Oh look, he researched Al Qada etc. He seems awfully interested in school shootings and racial shootings and on and on.

This is what is being said contrary to baldwin’s claims of not pulling the trigger.

Manslaughter would fit.

Negligent homicide.

As much as I detest Baldwin, unless there is some kind of testimony he commanded and subverted the gun check process–"pulling the trigger’ in itself, is not proof he was negligent. It’s not his job–he’s an actor, not assigned with that duty.

Unless there is evidence that someone else not connected with the production, subverted the gun safety process, then SOMEONE in the crew is to blame. Either someone purposely put a live round in the gun, or someone was totally negligent. That would be criminal.

The entire production could be liable for financial damages. But there has to be evidence for a criminal charge, whether murder or manslaughter

He should not be the only one charged.

They really need to find out exactly what happened. It’s not the Magic Bullet. Televise the hearings.

477

Good point that a trial would sort out.

478

Why? Is this of national importance? As far as I can see, this is an isolated incident that should be treated like any other local crime and not elevated to a prominent level simply because of the people (or rather the person) involved.

479

From what I have seen, there is probably a basis to charge Baldwin with something.

BUT

There is still a lot of the investigation that has not been released, so it would be pointless for me to opine on exactly WHAT he should be charged with.

In other words, just going to sit and wait a while longer. :smile:

They need to get it over with. It’s obviously not “important,” relatively considering but if you are sick of hearing about it like me, then televise a hearing and trial for criminal or civil action. At the very least, make Hollywood Movie makers use better protocols. The woman died.

It is not at all unusual for cases when negligence by multiple individuals are involved in a fatality to take years to sort out in court. “They” don’t need to get it over with, they need to get it right.

If you are sick of hearing about it, ignore it.

Let’s put this scenario in a different setting:

Me and a buddy go shooting at a range, while we setting up my buddy picks a gun up off the table, points it at me and goes “bang bang bang!!” And pulls the trigger and shoots me dead.

Who’s responsible for the shooting?

You aren’t ignoring it.
