I don't think it's a patsy when the person who was criminally negligent is held accountable.
Baldwin was also criminally negligent, in several different ways.
First he failed to clear the firearm, second he hired and employed an armorer who was unqualified…. And apparently an alcoholic who was also absent.
He'll stand trial, so we'll certainly see if he's criminally negligent or not.
You mean, we’ll see if a rich, famous white guy whose acting skills are well known can convince a jury he’s really sorry and didn’t know…. And it’s really really not his fault!
His guilt is already there, and I suspect it’s weighing on him heavily. The presumption of innocence is merely an assumption that informs procedural rules preserving Baldwin’s (or any accuse’d) rights and civil liberties.
A man who is guilty of a crime is not innocent then suddenly guilty when a jury finds them so- they’ve always been guilty, and would remain guilty even if they were acquitted. Similarly, an innocent man could be found guilty while being innocent. Such a person doesn’t become guilty just because 12 people made a mistake.
With that rant out of the way….
It’s effectively self evident he was handling a loaded firearm in an unsafe manner resulting in the death of one and severe injury of another.
There are a lot of things that could have prevented this tragedy, personal actions he could take:
And that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more.
None of these things were beyond his capabilities as the actor, nevermind the producer. All of them should be familiar.
None of those things are particularly difficult to accommodate. None of them are “unreasonable.”
It's kinda funny seeing someone use bullet points about my industry while simultaneously not knowing what the the fuck they're talking about. And basic law too lmao.
Your industry? Film?
It’s kinda funny some one saying I’m wrong then doesn’t explain in even cursory detail how I’m wrong.
Are you really saying that someone dying from getting shot because a person didn’t handle a firearm in a safe manner, isn’t invul. Manslaughter?
Are you saying that because “you’re” “industry” says it’s okay to handle a firearm in a negligent manner, the laws do not apply?
Edit: here’s the NM law
Sorry, but “an expert telling you it’s okay” doesn’t absolve you of one’s legal responsibility to behave in a reasonable and safe manner.
There were multiple producers, evidence will determine the shared responsibility of each of them
