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.
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.
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.
That's my take as well. It doesn't mean Alec is not guilty of any crime.
We KNOW Alec didnt ‘intend’ to harm anyone, but he completely ignored protocol in handling a deadly weapon which he should have known better as a seasoned actor....
Prison is definitely something he should need.
I realize that most actors’ values are the opposite of mine, and I will still watch them in their movies. But Baldwin just like DeNiro I refuse to watch any of THEIR movies, these guys have been so over the top militant about their opinion. Same for Sarandon.
