NOT the end but sure shows that special treatment is NOT equal treatment. I think the medical investigator report will be used as part of the defense of "It wasn't me that pulled the trigger!" of arec barwin, POS supreme. You or me? The conclusion and trial would have been over already for us mere peons.

An accidental shooting just makes it manslaughter or third degree.
That is still five years in prison under the laws of New Mexico. Not that I’m expecting a day in jail for this guy.

It’s an “accident” only because he didn’t “intend” to pull the trigger ... while he was pointing a gun at a human being.

Worfress Arec Barrwin was an accident.
To: Jonty30
No charges, IMO .... but this won’t help in the civil suit filed by the husband .... gun had to be fully cocked, trigger pulled to fire, gun in working order ... that’s a lot of “accidental”, plus he didn’t participate in safety training for ‘cross draw’. I hope the family of Alec’s victim wipe him out financially.

He pulled the trigger, and that was an inherently unsafe activity.
I do believe it was an accident out of stupidity, so it’s still at least manslaughter.
Alec needs to stop saying he didn’t pull the trigger. That is asinine.

I’d already be serving my sentence if I had shot someone in similar circumstances. There are at least two tiers in the “justice” system.

I wonder either how much they paid him or what they threatened him with to arrive at that conclusion.

I’m no Baldwin fan, but this was an accident.
But it was also negligent…

I will bet $1000 that he took the gun, gripping the single action revolver with the trigger fully pressed. He then pulled back the hammer expecting it to be cocked and let the hammer go. The hammer struck the primer and the cinematographer suffered a fatal wound.

Of course it was an accident. But it was also criminally negligent stupidity and carelessness.
Any one of us would be in jail already....

You can’t have both an accident and negligence. It is one or the other.

I would be in prison big time, and with a felony to follow me the rest of my life.

If anything, I hope it ends this arrogant little puke’s career.
He has twisted himself into knots to “explain” away his pulling the trigger, shooting and killing a human being.

Every deliberate step of the multiple steps necessary to get that bullet into those people was done.
That is a serious deadly shooting accident done in a deliberate manner, that requires serious sentences, not a celebrity, oh well, stuff happens, it’s Hollywood.

It is also considered an accident when someone runs a red light and kills another driver or pedestrian.
That doesn’t change the fact the accident resulted in the death of another human and the driver is liable.

I was thinking along similar lines.
Drunk driving and hitting someone is an accident as well. Deciding to drink then drive was a choice but so was pointing a weapon at people.
