New Mexico prosecutors plan to recharge Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter over a fatal on-set shooting in October 2021.
The prosecutors dismissed charges against the Emmy award-winning actor in April, just two weeks before his trial was due to start.
But “additional facts” merit bringing the case again before a grand jury next month, they said.
If he was a non producer, then you would have a stronger argument, but as a producer he may have been negligent in hiring someone unqualified.
In a normal setting, pointing a gun at a person would be negligent, even if you believed it was empty. I don’t know the industry standard on movie sets, but pointing a real gun at a human when not in a scene would be at least careless, possibly legally negligent.
That’s for the court to decide.
That negligence as a producer would be civil though, not criminal.
