You and I would think it’s going to be a tuff defense. But stranger things have happened, it’s quite possible his lawyers could go with the “Chewbacca Defense”

It is entirely possible that he will walk
The one thing you can always tell about juries is that you can never tell about juries

Weapons expert 'likely hungover' on set when Alec Baldwin shot dead cinematographer
The weapons supervisor on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer has been accused of smoking and drinking in the evenings during filming. Prosecutors claim Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was likely to have been hungover when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver the actor used when shooting a scene for Rust. The accusations came on Friday in response to a motion filed last month by Gutierrez-Reed's lawyers that seeks to dismiss her involuntary manslaughter charge. The prosecutors accused her of having a history of reckless conduct and argued that it would be in the public interest for her to "finally be held accountable". Jason Bowles, Ms Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer, has said that the prosecution has mishandled the case. "The case is so weak that they now have chosen to resort to character assassination claims about Hannah," Mr Bowles told The Associated Press. "The prosecution has abandoned the idea of doing justice and getting to the actual truth apparently." A preliminary hearing for Ms Gutierrez-Reed is scheduled in August. A judge is expected to decide then if there's probable cause for the Ms Gutierrez-Reed's charge to move forward. In the response, the prosecutors also noted that they expected to decide within the next 60 days whether to recharge Baldwin, depending on the results of an analysis of the gun and its broken sear. The items were sent to the state's independent expert for further testing. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...4a0eead2&ei=54

If the latter accidentally loaded the gun with real bullets and gave it to a film star with little knowledge of arms you probably can't accuse Baldwin of intentional killing?

So it turns out that it isn't President Trump who could shoot someone to death in Times Square and get away with it, it's the guy who "plays" President Trump on SNL who can.

I don't think anyone is accusing Baldwin of intentionally killing anyone.

Judge wanted to give Chef the same sentence they'll want for President Trump.
