Alec Baldwin kills someone in movie accident

Involuntary? He pointed the gun and pulled the trigger.

You may need to actually look up the term as it applies to legal terminology. Whether ultimately held legally responsible, there's no evidence at all of intent on his part, unless he secretly put the bullets in the gun when no one was looking and intended to shoot her. Not impossible of course, but no evidence for it, hence:

"Involuntary manslaughter is defined as an unintentional killing that results either from recklessness or criminal negligence or from the commission of a low-level criminal act such as a misdemeanor. Involuntary manslaughter is distinguished from other forms of homicide because it does not require deliberation or premeditation, or even intent. Since these mental states are not required, involuntary manslaughter is the lowest category of homicide."

That sounds accurate to what happened from what we know about it, though I do wonder if there was enough evidence to go for Criminal Negligence.

I know those charges vary some by state too. In another state, perhaps they would have felt the evidence rose to Criminal Negligence, I don't know.

Thats about right, involuntary manslaughter is a slap on the wrist.

Being that he is anti gun liberal twat, I hope he gets at least 10 years prison time, and has to pay the family of the victim several million dollars in restitution.

Yeah, but given the pervasive Demstoogery of Santa Fake and New Mexico as a whole, it is SHOCKING to me that he was charged with anything at all. Shocking, I tell you.

I fully expected them to just keep dragging their feet a little longer until eventually nobody was paying attention, then quietly sweep it all under the rug.

Nothing says they won't put their thumbs on the scales before it's all over. Then they can say they did "something", but it didn't bear fruit.

[kerplode]

lol! Yeah...The jury of his peers will be 12 Santa Fake mid-60's white-guilt super libs all clad in some kind of vaugely-culturally appropriated pastel leather fringe jacket with gaudy silver native jewlery. He'll be not guilty before the prosecution makes opening arguments then they'll all carpool down to the capital roundhouse for a MDA sit-in to support the mag and AW ban bills.

Again, I stand 110% with Alec Baldwin on this issue. Why? Because if I stand in front of him, I know he'll shoot and kill me.

Good stuff. She was forthcoming and supplied excellent info on the case. Props to her for not waffling or avoiding Qs. Just infuriating to listen and just as bad, if not more so, then we all suspected.
