Baldwin will be acquitted

They might have asked that question when Brandon Lee was killed.

Even at best such an explanation would indicate accidental death .
IMO the DA (An elected official and thus political) is trying to make a name for him/herself .

Someone was shot and killed ffs.

Alec Baldwin no longer faces the possibility of five years in prison after prosecutors dropped part of the charges being levelled at him for his part in a fatal film set shooting - but he still could be jailed for a lesser time.

Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust in October 2021.

Baldwin, 64, is due to make his first appearance in a US court on Friday.

The first charge facing Baldwin - involuntary manslaughter - requires proof of underlying negligence.

The second charge - involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act - requires proof that there was more than simple negligence involved in a death, and includes a firearm enhancement, which makes the crime punishable by a mandatory five years in prison.

This second charge has now been removed, reducing the possible prison sentence Baldwin faces from a minimum of five years to a maximum of 18 months.

The actor-producer's legal team had objected to the enhancement, saying it was unconstitutional because it only became law after the October 2021 shooting.

"In order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr Baldwin and his attorneys, the district attorney and the special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the Rust film set," Heather Brewer, a spokesperson for the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney, said in a statement.

A lawyer for Baldwin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Alec Baldwin has been indicted on involuntary manslaughter after the death of a producer on the set of Rust - the second time he has been charged.

The Grand Jury indictment was filed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, today over the death of Halyna Hutchins, who died after a prop gun, held by Baldwin, went off on set in October 2021.

New forensic tests have concluded Baldwin, 65, would have had to pull the trigger to fire the live round - a finding matched by a previous FBI test - but he has said he only pulled back the hammer.

Responding to the indictment, the actor's lawyers said "we look forward to our day in court".

All criminal charges were dropped in April last year based on evidence the hammer - the part of a revolver that gets pulled back to build momentum before firing - might have been modified, allowing it to be shot without the trigger being pulled.

They later began considering whether to refile a charge in light of the new analysis which relied on replacement parts to reassemble the pistol after it was broken during FBI testing.

The new report states: "Given the tests, findings and observations reported here, the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver."
