with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the “Rust” film set in 2021.
The announcement of impending charges against Baldwin surprised some people with criminal law experience,, given the prosecution’s heavy burden in proving the case against the actor and producer beyond a reasonable doubt, at a trial in which he’d likely argue it was a tragic accident that wasn’t his job to prevent.
That’s not to say it will be impossible for the government to secure a conviction against Baldwin, partly because anything can happen in a trial, and the devastating consequences of a potential conviction can lead people to plead guilty . But I'm eager to see the prosecution’s statement of probable cause that should be filed along with their formal charges Tuesday, and I’ll report back once we have more information.
How is he not in prison already?
He belongs in prison.
I am not a huge Baldwin fan. Most of its kind of a weird baboonish comedy line with his wife faking it she was Spanish and all that. But the shooting was just a horrible tragedy. Hard to imagine it was criminal.
He could use a haircut
What are the details, a wad of paper from a blank killed... Who gave the guy a loaded gun anyway... Who was in charge of the firearm?
Will be MSNBC be chasing the jury bus when the time is appropriate?

Alec Baldwin expected to be formally charged today in 'Rust' movie set shootingProsecutors are set to file involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with the fatal shooting by actor Alec Baldwin on the set of 'Rust.' It’s a shame this happened in California. He would have zero consequences in Illinois. ( oh wait a white man…. Death penalty) Seems to me the prosecutors are unsure of themselves. Rightfully so. Mr. Baldwin's attorneys are going to take this case apart. Not to forget about the public who are going to want answers as to why he was even charged in the first place.
