Alec Baldwin should ‘keep his mouth shut’ amid charges in fatal ‘Rust’ shooting: legal experts

has a"strong defense" regarding his involvement in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, legal experts told Fox News Digital.

The assistant director, Dave Halls, chose to plead guilty in an agreement with the district attorney's office. He will be given a suspended sentence and six months of probation. Halls was charged with negligent use of a deadly weapon. "This is an aggressive charging decision by District Attorney Carmack-Altwies. Involuntary manslaughter requires some sort of criminal negligence," Rahmani told Fox News Digital."The prosecution will have to prove that Baldwin had a duty to inspect the gun himself, he knew it had previously discharged, he pulled the trigger despite denying it, his finger shouldn't have been near the trigger, he shouldn't have cocked the hammer or some combination of these factors.

"Baldwin has a strong defense case, and I can see him pushing the case to trial for legal and public relations reasons," he added."He has to think about his acting career in addition to doing time. But if he rolls the dice and loses at trial, the judge may hammer him for causing Hutchins' death." "He would need to be convicted first, and Baldwin has very strong defenses as relates to his conduct and precautions, as he will claim that he was relying on his assistant director’s statement that the gun was cold or unloaded," Fiest explained to Fox News Digital."The prosecution has a heavy burden to show that he criminally disregarded that statement and acted with a conscious disregard for human life.

Not a fan. However, everyone that handled that gun should be charged.

Everyday in Chicago someone is shot and killed. We very seldom hear about it, but the first time someone with any recognition shots someone the news jumps right on it.

Justice delayed is justice denied! These so called A-list human beings giving lectures 2 poor people abt justice, environment, equality & many other bullshits but when table turned on them than they hide under the table. They always have fun with young girls but speak for MeToo

Normal charges for this type of crime. It is all very sad. The young woman is dead!!!
