I hate how it ended this way. But, withholding evidence from the defense was sloppy and in-excusable. One of the foundations of our liberty is a right to a fair trial. Justice was not served for the victim because of the misconduct of the prosecutor. As much as I dislike Baldwin, he deserved a fair trial. I only wish people in liberal/progressive jurisdictions would get the same consideration of a fair justice system.

Or, this was the plan all along. The prosecutor had to charge Baldwin (Appearances and all that) but had no intention of ever convicting him so this is how he threw the case.
The rules are different for them. They are special.
You, OTOH, will go to jail for filling out a form wrong.

Sounds like the fix was in.

Oooops!
Baldwin admitted he "Fired the gun".

That's gonna be hard to walk back.

Baldwin calls for gun control:

Raise your hand if you saw this coming. (I did.)

Pull quote: "I think all rational people can agree the pro-gun control movement doesn’t want Alec Baldwin as its spokesman."
Oh, please, please put Alec in place as the front man for Everytown. That would be hilarious!

I'm going to be the first one to say it: "Alec Baldwin has killed more people than all of my guns."

K.Mooneyham relayed a conversation wherein an "Expert" claimed that actors never check the guns they are handed.

actors and actresses don't check the guns because it's too dangerous for them to do so and they don't know how to do it. He stated that he worked on many movie sets and only the armorer is allowed to check the firearms.

Here are some quotes from people in the industry:
George Clooney:“Every single time I’m handed a gun on the set — every time — they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I’m pointing it too, I show it to the crew,” Clooney said. “Every single take.”

Nicholas Cage: It’s part of a movie star’s job to know how to safely use a gun, especially given that firearm violence figures so prominently in American film and TV shows.

Dean Cain: "Baldwin should have opened and checked the cylinder. Its standard safety protocol."

I'm sure I could find more quotes if I looked. These took me three minutes.

From the Vanity Fair article:

"You can pull the hammer back without actually pulling the trigger and without actually locking it," she explained. "So you pull it back partway, it doesn't lock, and then if you let it go, the firing pin can hit the primer of the bullet."

This is true on many revolvers. The combination of spring strength and hammer weight can be enough to set of a primer even when the hammer is not fully cocked. Remember: Guns are made to fire ammunition.
But it doesn't matter.

Who was responsible for making sure the gun was unloaded?
Alec Baldwin.
Who pointed the gun at a living human being?
Alec Baldwin.
Who cocked the hammer (Fully or not.)?
Alec Baldwin.

Who is responsible for the death of Halyna Hutchins?
Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin has lost it.
In a long, rambling post to twitter he goes on about finding the "Real Culprits" and ends with a plug for Splenda.

Not sure if her is setting up an insanity defense or what.

This is your daily reminder that Alec Baldwin has killed more people than the Omicron variant of Covid 19.

Please return to living your lives normally.

Alec Baldwin now interested in limiting the use of firearms on film sets:

I'll bet he is.
Now.

How long before his press conference when he says he will now focus on going after the NRA?

The story is it was late in the day and they needed to re-"shoot" a scene and Baldwin grabbed a gun and blasted away at the individuals saying he was going to shoot them instead (in jest). It does appear to be criminal negligence, but I would expect that the local authorities will want to be very certain before an indictment is made. Don't know how New Mexico works with Grand Juries.

Say what?!?!!?!?
If true this is criminal negligence. Alec needs to go away for a long time.
Do you have a source for this?

Alec Baldwin, a card carrying member of the left, claims it wasn't his fault because he was told the gun was "Cold".
The left loves to equate gun ownership with driving a car.
Ok. Let's play:

Say you are driving and ready to turn right and you are watching traffic to your left and the passenger tells you that all is clear on the right.
You see an opening in traffic and turn right but there is a pedestrian crossing the street.
You strike and kill the pedestrian.
Who is going to jail? You or your passenger?

Baldwin is responsible.
