The Legal Question at the Center of the Alec Baldwin Criminal Case

A grand jury has indicted an individual on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for a fatal shooting on a film set in New Mexico. If the case goes to trial, prosecutors will need to prove that the individual either negligently used a firearm or acted with indifference to the safety of others. The defense team will have to explain why the gun fired. The individual claims they did not pull the trigger and that the gun discharged after the hammer was pulled back and released. Legal experts have differing opinions on reviving the case, noting that traditional gun safety rules may not apply on film sets, and the individual was assured the gun did not contain live ammunition.
