I’m no Baldwin fan, but this was an accident.
But it was also negligent…
You can’t have both an accident and negligence. It is one or the other.
Negligent homicide.
That’s my take too. Nobody ever asserted that Alec intended to shoot her. The issue has always been whether his “accident” was criminally reckless.
“”I’m no Baldwin fan, but this was an accident.””
“But it was also negligent…”
Agree that it’s negligence but the question is WHO was negligent. If standard procedure on a movie set is for an actor to be handed a gun he is assured by an armorer is safe to use, the actor is not negligent if the gun is NOT safe. Personally I think the actor should personally confirm that the gun is safe before using it but that is not currently how things are done in the industry. If the standard procedure was followed in this case then the Armorer or the person who assured the actor the gun was safe should be charged.
