Alec Baldwin Is Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter Because He Wouldn't Shut Up
My appearance on the Objections Podcast
My thoughts on the Alec Baldwin prosecution are in the attached article and podcast:
1. Alec Baldwin does not face a 5 year mandatory minimum sentence (even though the DA has publicly stated that he does) because the sentencing enhancement did not become law until after he shot Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021.
2. Alec Baldwin's public statements took a case that likely would never have been charged and turned it into a case where he has only one defense -- his claim that he did not pull the trigger on the gun.
3. That one issue (whether Mr. Baldwin pulled the trigger) looks very good for the prosecution, based on their synopsis of the FBI ballistics report.
