No preliminary hearing for awhile. This article explains, pretty well, the upcoming process…
Ahhh man.Case against Baldwin dismissed
I suppose this is where I rub it in to all those I tried telling. I'm rarely wrong on the law in application. Is what it is but when biases are low, vision is clear.Case against Baldwin dismissed
Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter over the fatal shooting on the set of “Rust” for a second time.
The actor has been indicted by a grand jury in New Mexico over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was struck with a live bullet that had been loaded into a prop gun for a scene, which was being rehearsed in October 2021 during filming of the ill-fated Western.
“The above named defendant did cause the death of Halyna Hutchins by an act committed with the total disregard of indifference for the safety of others,” the indictment obtained by The Post read.

No, he'd have to tried and found not guilty in order for it to be double jeopardy. Charges are dropped and refiled all the timeIsn't this double jeopardy?
I miss CatAlum for legal commentary
I don't believe he'll get locked up even if convicted. Your scenario isn't really relevant though. You'd expect a car to act as if the vehicle normally performs. A gun is a weapon and expected to perform as such. That's why there's so many safety procedures in place to prevent accidental discharges. One of them being that it's up to each individual handling the gun to properly check to make sure the weapon is safe. You are to assume that the weapon is live until check is performed.My stance hasn’t changed. I don’t think he should be locked up for this. Imagine if you took your car to a mechanic and he botched your breaks, then you accidentally crash and kill someone. That’s not your fault
But it wasn’t supposed to be a gun, it was a prop. And the person in charge of handling weapons on set, is the Armorer. That “person” was a DEI hire.I don't believe he'll get locked up even if convicted. Your scenario isn't really relevant though. You'd expect a car to act as if the vehicle normally performs.

It's a regular gun which was supposed to be modified. It being called a "prop" means nothing by legal definitionBut it wasn’t supposed to be a gun, it was a prop. And the person in charge of handling weapons on set, is the Armorer. That “person” was a DEI hire.
It’s for prop use. It’s not meant to be used as a regular gun. I get it, Baldwin is an a hole, but I don’t see how this was his fault.It's a regular gun which was supposed to be modified. It being called a "prop" means nothing by legal definition

The doesn't change the fact that by legal definition, it was a legal gun. Which should've been considered live until HE deemed it safe.It’s for prop use. It’s not meant to be used as a regular gun. I get it, Baldwin is an a hole, but I don’t see how this was his fault.
