Alec Baldwin involved with shooting.

Word Salad!

Looks more like soup to me. Salad lacks substance.

Very interesting. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the live rounds didn't come from Baldwin himself..

There is no set timeline on indictments.
Some happen fast and some happen very slow.
Whether the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony charge plays a huge roll in the speed also.
Some cases, that are cut and dried, take a year or longer.. Don't play dumb.

Unreal

A prop is not a firearm. If he reasonably believed that it was a prop, it loses the required culpability that you are ignoring.

It’s my understanding that the word “prop” refers to an item being the “property” of the set. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s fake.
Many guns used in the industry are fake, blank firing restricted or actual working firearms. It all depends on what the scene calls for.

Certainly.

What did he call for and believe he was handed? Proving Mens Rea or the guilty mind is required. That is likely why they dropped the indictment the first time. They had to dig for another year to figure out a way to make it look like he knew he was handed a real gun with real ammo.

Wait...Was it a prop? Or are you saying the actors thought it was a prop but was a real gun?

I am not saying anything. Could he have or did he likely think that it was a prop and non-functioning firearm?

In a criminal trial it is up to the state to prove that he knew beyond a reasonable doubt.

Anytime another “what if” question is asked, it tends to help the defendant.

Let’s put it this way, on nearly 4 decades of police investigations including several years filing cases with the DA, I have never experienced anywhere nearly that long when all of the parties were known in a local crime.

This is not a case where they are trying to find a shooter. This is not like three people were standing around a car and somebody firef shots into the car and the three people are not identified and even if they were, nobody knows which one in the group fried the shots.

Maybe through further investigation new evidence has emerged, like where the real bullets originated from and how they ended up in the pistol.

Not murder, but certainly negligent. And, I think his lying/sobbing about not pulling the trigger should be a problem for his defense.

That is what we call "IRONY".

Only what the District Attorney tells them.

And you obviously have never sat on a grand jury.
