[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like this was the FOURTH misfire in two weeks on that set. How?!?!

Can any attorneys weigh in on what personal liability Alec might face?

Do you mean the director?  Or the executive producer?  [/quote]

I mean Alec.  Could he face any civil or criminal liability?[/quote]

It doesn't matter if he could or should. Either way, he won't. [/quote]

Of course it matters.

But given what we know right now, there's no legal or moral liability.  [/quote]

I meant it doesn't matter because he's Alec Baldwin and there will be no repercussions for him even if there should be. [/quote]

He did point a gun at people and press the trigger. That doesn't make him a murderer. But it's also very reckless so that's why I'm asking if he could face any legal consequences.  It's like running a stoplight and killing someone. You just meant to get somewhere faster, but someone died as a result. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be charged, I'm asking if any attorneys think there may be legal issues for him down the road. [/quote]

DP.  You keep asking for lawyers to weigh in when no one really knows what happened. But if you must have an answer, I'll give you the standard lawyer response: "it depends." [/quote]

Ok that's a fair answer. It means it could happen, depending on the facts and circumstances. That's what I was wondering. [/quote]

Another lawyer (but not in New Mexico, and it's their laws that would control). Nothing I've seen so far would suggest any criminal charges against Baldwin would be appropriate.

As for civil liability, there's not enough information yet to speculate. [/quote]
