Guess the prosecutors should be in the process of finding new careers.

Why is it fair that a killer who lied to police about pulling the trigger and is as guilty as sin walks?

Not fair at all

Justice and the law are two different animals.
There should be some heads mounted on a wall, at the prosecutor's office.

One of these days, when 'they' come to their senses and make me grand poobah and supreme ruler, things will be different.

How do you know what actually happened? He would have had post traumatic stress problems after seeing the gun putting real bullets into his co-workers. His memory probably is not all that good. He was given a "cold gun". Someone he trusted told him that.

Karma working the best IMHO. The only guilt was he “trusted” others too much. He was not at fault and karma is alive and well in this case. Time to move on.

The world knows what happened, including the judge. Without checking to see if the revolver was loaded while fooling with it on his own time, not in a scene being filmed, Baldwin aimed the revolver at that poor woman, pulled the trigger, and shot her stone cold dead. Then he lied to the police, stating he did not pull the trigger. Those are the facts of the matter.

Facts do not need spinning. They just are.

Did Alec Baldwin step on your toe or something? You seem to have a genuine hatred of him.

I do not want to get into trouble. But think about how many people have seen Baldwin on a certain show?

I have no idea what kind of person Alec Baldwin is but he does a good job on some shows. He is a talented actor.

I need to not spell it out.

From what we have heard he should not get away with killing that poor woman.

Carelessness is no excuse

I have a genuine hatred of him. He goes spouting off his anti-gun rhetoric for years and believes no citizen should own a gun. But between me and him, only one of us has shot and killed an innocent person. He's a total scumbag.

I'm baffled by the posts saying his only error was trusting someone else. Is there anyone in this thread that thinks they'd get released if they shot someone, using the excuse, "I didn't know it was loaded, someone else told me it wasn't."

Nope, every one of us would be sent to prison. Every single one of us. But he goes free. It isn't right. The prosecution is to blame.

It is not his job on a movie set to check the ammunition. And again he was told it was a "cold gun". This is very different from someone in their own home pointing a gun at a burglar. Or some kid thinking that his pistol was full of blanks while goofing off his house.
