no jury is going to convict him, it was ruled an accidental shooting and it happened on the set of the Crow when Brandon Lee was killed. Politically motivated
Yes but the main difference is Baldwin LIED THROUGH HIS SMUG FUCKING FACE.
LOL, "I didn't pull the trigger" who the fuck else did. The problem with his lie is that it was an obviously really bad lie. And everyone knew it was a really obviously bad lie.
The second shitty thing he did was play the victim instead of showing any remorse.
He lied during a criminal investigation. Yes it wasn't intentional but he pulled the trigger then he lied about it. Therefore he can be charged with Manslaughter if not Negligent Homicide as well as hindering if not perjury.
Dont quote me on the exact statutes as laws in different states have different elements and sometimes different names but you should be able to understand that this isn't purley political. If anything politics would benefit him. His witness statement as well as the assnine comments he made on national television, against his lawyers advice btw, are what prompted this.
In the end his own arrogance and stupidity got him charged.
