Do you really think Baldwin will face prison after this sentence?

โ 3 years ago(January 19, 2023 07:17 PM)Involuntary manslaughter is a joke of a charge and if he has anything close to halfway decent lawyers they will get that charge dismissed. At worst heโll get time served and probation. Itโs going to be very difficult for a prosecutor to argue an accidental death caused by a goddamn PROP gun demands significant jail time.

Which doesn't make any sense.
Why would they take a real gun and convert it to be a prop gun?
Why not make a gun that can only fire blanks and can never fire bullets?
If they have those already then that is what movie sets should ONLY use to prevent any more accidental shootings and killings.

So thereโs two types of guns they use in movies, thereโs โnon-gunsโ that are electronic devices that have a muzzle flash, but no actual firing mechanism or gunpowder, itโs just a fake gun.
Then thereโs real guns that shoot blanks. The problem is Baldwin was using a real gun that wasnโt loaded with blanks but real bullets. Also he should never have been aiming and firing a gun at crew members, even if he thought it was empty or had blanks (blanks can still kill people) -

I have seen movies where the actor fires the gun right at the camera.
How do they do that if they are not supposed to fire a gun, even with blanks, at them?

In that case the camera operator would not be behind the camera. They would be observing from a monitor in another room or behind the actor holding the firearm. Safety should always be their priority.

No, this will either be thrown out or he'll be found not guilty. This isn't a guy choosing to drive drunk or some other negligent/unintentional accident. He was
given
a gun and told it was safe. Live bullets shouldn't be on a movie set to begin with. The armorer is ****ed though. -

Doesnโt matter if he was โgiven the gunโ you still always check the chamber and you donโt point a gun at people even if you think itโs โsafe.โ Also he was the producer so should have been checking the safety regulations

Agreed.
The main question still stays:
Who brought the live ammunition to the film set?!
And for what purpose?
Instead, Baldwin's supposedly bad character is widely discussed everywhere. -

Helena Hutchens is dead because someone brought live rounds onto the set. Did the armorer want Hutchens dead? Of course not. Is she resposible? Yes. A murderer? No.
Most of the people who think he's guilty don't like him as a person, which is irrelevant.
