I too read with prejudice. Then without prejudice so I don't know what is true.
I'll throw this out there though. First I don't care for Alec Baldwin.
From what I know about the case it seems to me that he shouldn't be guilty of a crime. Someone else gave him the gun in a movie set. He had no reason to believe it was a loaded weapon. So if there isn't something I am missing I would say not guilty at this point.
In terms of standard gun safety, all firearms are to be handled as though they are loaded even when known to not be loaded. Baldwin had the weapon in hand, and was responsible for it.

There was someone who was paid to do that job. They handed him a loaded gun.
Blanks are very dangerous. I think Bruce Lee's son [Brandon?] was killed by a blank when he was goofing around pretending to commit suicide.
No, as I recall from my readings, it was on a movie set. While it was a blank that discharged and killed Brandon, what was unknown is that there was a bullet in the barrel of the gun. It was there because a round without gunpowder in it was fired some time previously, I think many days or a couple weeks. The primer discharge was enough to separate the bullet from the casing but not enough to expel it from the barrel. So during either a film or practice scene, someone pull the trigger and the blank ejected the bullet with force similar to a live round and that killed Brandon.
The investigation determined that there were so many people at fault in small ways that led to his death that no one was, effectively, worth charging.
