ALEC BALDWIN GETS A WALK

By Bob Walsh

 

TOPSHOT - US actor Alec Baldwin participates in a pretrial hearing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on July 8, 2024. Baldwin is facing a single charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a cinematographer. In October 2021, on the New Mexico set of his low-budget Western "Rust," a gun pointed by Baldwin discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding its director.

The Judge threw out the charges against Baldwin today, with prejudice, due to a Brady violation by the prosecution.  Allegedly the prosecution neglected to tell the defense about a box of live ammunition having something to do with the case, believing (???) that it wasn't relevant.  The judge disagreed.  That is the end of the matter.

There is no such thing as an unloaded gun. Always check. If anyone hands you a gun and says, "Don't worry, it's not loaded." You are probably talking to an idiot who shouldn't own a firearm. (USA)
