    They would have a far better case to defend Baldwin had he killed an actor during a gun battle scene.
    It seems totally ridiculous he would point his own gun at a camera person. I call it his gun since he is the producer.

    we did talk about that, that seems suspicious too me too, like someone trying to sabotage the movie

    maybe a Trump supporter that hates him for making Trump look bad or a disgruntled employee

    Baldwin never made Trump bad. Baldwin is an actor.

    Every (real) weapons trainer requires all actors to verify their rounds in the chamber. That way there is no liability against them.
    The fact that Baldwin already had two previous live round accidents just 5 days prior, coupled with not only hiring, but keeping the weapons hacks they had on set after the first accident, and not checking his own weapon, makes him liable.

    Declare today..... What did Baldwin do wrong?
    I can think of a number of things he did wrong.
    1. Gunning down a woman in charge of cameras.
    2. Gunning down a director on set.
    3. Shooting a loaded pistol when the only right thing to do was carefully inspect it completely.

    I simply never fire any gun that I have not first completely inspected.

    do you think Trump supporters look different from anyone else? That they all carry Confederate flags like blankets or something?

    Gee I have some Flags. Stars and Stripes certified to fly on the mast of the sunken USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor.
    Confederate Battle flag made in China.
    Which of them is okay with Democrats?

    By all the claims they make about crimes, about TV actors and their shows.

    Obviously, the Civil Case will involve any actionable party.
    Up to and including Baldwin, the person in control of the set on that day, anybody on the crew who was involved in the chain of custody before Baldwin got the weapon, and the Production Company.

    As far as possible Criminal charges?

    Here this is (again) in case you missed it:

    Will Alec Baldwin be criminally charged?
    Though Baldwin fired the gun resulting in Hutchins' death and Souza's injury, it's unlikely the "30 Rock" alum will face criminal charges, especially if he didn't know the firearm contained live ammunition, says Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor who co-founded the Los Angeles personal injury firm West Coast Trial Lawyers.

    Will anyone be criminally charged?
    There are criminal issues outside of who discharged the weapon, Rahmani says.

    According to an affidavit obtained by USA TODAY, several crew members handled the firearm before it was handed to Baldwin and deemed a "cold gun," or a weapon without live ammo that was safe to use.

    "Assuming it was just incompetence or a colossal mistake, that rises to the level of criminal negligence, which would be sufficient for a manslaughter prosecution," Rahmani says. He added that if charges are brought, the person who loaded the gun could be prosecuted, as well as anyone who knew the gun contained live ammo
