I doubt if will get any special treatment especially given how much press this tragedy has received. Hollywood makes movies and they want these movies to be successful. The facts will surface even with some media distorting these as much as possible for reasons other than equity.

Alec Baldwin will survive...he'll eventually pay out some money, and a few attorneys will make a lot of money representing him in court

I like some of his early movies...not necessarily a fan of all he's done, nor the limited insight into his personal life / behavior that I have, only thru snippets I've read in the press, that may or may not like him, for whatever reason

...but we all have a few folks that we know, that we don't respect because of who they are, what they've done and their behavior

when all is said and done, Baldwin puts his pants on the same way we all do...he's just a Hollywood personality....whoop dee do

what happens to him, personally I don't care...I hope that he's treated fairly under the law and not given any special advantage because he's Hollywood star

If you answer yes, then he should check when pointing at anyone else.

If you said no, well... Never EVER pick up a gun...

best post in this thread imo

Alec may indeed get special treatment as New Mexico, one of the very poorest states, has worked desperately for over 20 years to attract the movie industry. The state quite literally pays companies to film there.

"Still, these ambitious projects come with their own costs. In 2019, New Mexico increased incentives, with the state now offering a rebate ranging from 25 percent to 35 percent of in-state film production costs. Cities like Albuquerque and Santa Fe also offer their own incentives in the race to lure productions.

The budget and accountability office of New Mexico’s Legislature recently warned that new production commitments by Netflix alone could raise tax credit payouts by tens of millions of dollars a year as the streaming giant expands operations.

As recently as 2019, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, overcame criticism from budget hawks in both parties to enact legislation expanding the incentives while paying off as much as $225 million already owed to the film industry."

This COMPEX issue it truly simple Baldwin IS guilty. The only question is GUILTY of what and what is an APPROPRIATE PENALTY. She is dead no MONEY no time in jail can or will reverse that.

Lot'a truth to this post.

I would not put it past the State of New Mexico to allow Alec, if convicted and imprisoned (which will not happen IMHO) to film from the State Penitentiary in Santa Fe! That is how much they do not want to lose even a tad of the movie industry.

It is an hour and fifty minute gate to gate flight between LAX and ABQ on commercial airline jet aircraft, easy-peasy for rank and file film industry people to commute to New Mexico. The executives and stars of course commute by private jet, an hour and a half wheels up to wheels down flight. NM enjoys a beautiful mild four seasons climate and is sunny and dry most of the time. Labor is cheap and available, indeed chomping at the bit for work in the film industry. The state is more than accommodating to the industry; it welcomes it with open arms and hugs it as hard as it can, not wanting to ever let go or lose any of it.

I put very little credibility on any FOX news segment and even less on what some lawyer puts out for his or her client.

As I want the facts, not disinformation, misinformation, propaganda or some talking head's spin, I put more credibility on FOX than on any MSM.

Agree.

I think it's best to listen to at least two channels, but a lot of time the liberal channels won't even discuss the issues.

I think that’s called “tunnel vision”.
