And all because of evidence revelation? Trump should have the same benefit in the FL case where the prosecution screwed up the box of docs.

Did the prosecution intentionally do this to have the case tossed?

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.

The reporter first said it was dismissed without PJ, but then said it was dismissed with PJ.

WITH prejudice.

The box of cartridges in question was never on the set which makes them not relevant to anything. I think the judge had orders from higher up or she didn't want leftists burning down her house or she wants to get laid by Baldwin. Maybe all three.

That's different. Orange Hitler. Duh!

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.

It was a very unusual string of events.

The fault of the paid specialist is grounds for firing but Baldwin fired the shot that killed. He is an adult and is responsible for the homocide.

Granted, BUT you're dealing with the Hollywood types that know NOTHING about firearms. I've spent 50+ years with firearms being a way of life. My handling is automatic as certain as I hate predators (homo/pedo/tranny). For me, it's innate.

I don't understand folks that don't have my skillset. I noticed it yesterday when I was outside spraying weeds with a spray bottle. I can reliably hit the weed within a quarter of an inch with the bottle at my side not aiming. I recovered on target instinctively on the second spray.

It'd suck to be an armorer in Hollywood. Robert DeNiro was BADLY burned on the set of "Scarface" by grabbing an AR-15 platform gun by the barrel after firing blanks for a scene.

Dimmycrat privilege.

You aren't used to it yet?

I don't hold a grudge...

Now you know the origins of my nickname 'Pacman." It's not from the video game or the movie "Colors."

(Edit) ALFERD is the correct spelling, not Alfred. There was a made-for- TV movie or something with the spelling wrong, "The Legend of Alfred Packer." I didn't see it in a EweToob search.

I was The Company's wet dream when they recruited me out of college in 1980.
