    Thanks.

    So I read that Kim Bassinger is really close to her dad. According to her daddy Baldwin never got physical with any women or children, and anyone outside of a paparazzi whom apparently was found in the wrong. Her bad said that he Baldwin is a very good person and he likes him a lot but he doesn't control his temper. That he will get mad and scream or leave and comeback.

    So who knows? It is interesting that some people (many of them women) will support him to such great levels, and then others say he is a POS.

    Alec said it is over-rated.

    She does not sound like she has an accent at all to me.

    If anything, it sounds like a Spanish accent slips into her American one.

    His ex wife said it on a radio interview. I guess it could be inaccurate but that's kind of a weird thing to fabricate.

    I'll give her the benefit of the doubt because as we both know he's a douchebag

    Have not been really keeping up with this case, but it seems they just want to charge somebody with something it seems that whoever handed him the gun or was in charge of the guns is the culpable person.

    The armorer was also charged. Seems like an appropriate indictment for both of them, though I think Baldwin has a pretty good defense saying he relied upon the armorer to provide a safe gun. The armorer is ****ed.

    From what I’m seeing it appears there is more than reasonable doubt for Baldwin.

    Well, that's what trials are for. From what I'd read before, there had been previous issues with loaded guns on sets, including this one, and there was a previous accident. I can see a prosecutor making the argument that, as the producer, Baldwin was responsible for maintaining a more safe work environment and it was his negligence as a producer that created the situation in which he was handed a loaded gun. They shouldn't bring indictments they expect to lose, but I think it would be a shame to not even test his culpability with a jury. Even as an armchair jurist, I don't have great confidence in what the outcome should be.

    I forgot that he could be culpable as the producer, but I don't think the jury is where you test culpability, either you think he is culpable or you don't.

    I honestly don't know the responsibilities of a producer and if that includes firearm safety. The most I can compare it to is as an architect when I go to a construction site I am required to report gross violations of safety but it is not my position to guarantee safety on site.

    TO me the main question comes down to was Baldwin either knowingly handling a a weapon with live ammunition or so grossingly negligent that he wasn't aware it was live ammunition but shoudl have? It seems reasonable to doubt that he met either of those standards and instead was trusting the armorer to determine that.

    Architect? That’s weird. I’ve been part of many construction projects and the only time they wheel out the architects is when a design needs changes.

    Charged with two counts.

    1) First charge is a fourth-degree felony with sentencing of up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.

    2) Second charge, which is formally an involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act charge, is also a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in jail and up to a $5000 fine.

    the second charge additionally carries a firearm enhancement. That gives the offense a punishing mandatory five years behind bars if Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed are found guilty.

    Seems like they’re stacking the deck in anticipation of a plea deal.

    the armorer shouldn’t have even been there to begin with…she was out of her league, and they were giving her extra responsibilities as well
