[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Film sets don’t make their own rules. If Alec Baldwin would’ve checked the gun seeing as he’s the guy that actually shot the woman none of this would’ve happened. Again this other guy told me it wasn’t loaded is not a defense. Why do you think film sets get to make up some magic rules that protect them from negligence? [/quote]

Negligence is a separate question.  Posters are saying that Baldwin should go to jail for murder.  It is a defense to murder for him to think the gun is unloaded.[/quote]

Ok, no-one thinks he'll be charged with murder though. People who think he'll be charged think it will be involuntary manslaughter or, more likely, negligent use of a deadly weapon

"Involuntary manslaughter consists of manslaughter committed in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to felony, or [b]in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death[/b] in an unlawful manner or [b]without due caution and circumspection.[/b]"

"A. Negligent use of a deadly weapon consists of: ... (3) endangering the safety of another by handling or using a firearm or other deadly weapon in a negligent manner"
