How can this be? The gun fired itself, Baldwin just happened to be holding and pointing it when it went off. Something does not make sense here... --https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/19/arts/rust-shooting-charges-alec-baldwin.html?fbclid=IwAR0Pe6-CfhCFrsN4MZYFtU3cMiANsSVr_GUor6GrHwvjBb5efXyo1F_PFTE
I can't open the link, so just surmising.
"Involuntary" (no intent) and "manslaughter" (vs murder). Holding and pointing the gun. The woman was hit and died. A horrible tragedy. It could have been a stage hand or someone other than Baldwin. We weren't there, don't know applicable laws as far as leveling charges, etc.
Gun and ammo should have been props, maybe?
IM is charged in less notable deaths. Driver at fault in an accident where someone dies. Someone cleaning their gun and it goes off. A kid playing with a gun. Involuntary, no intent, but a death occurs. Scary.
