BREAKING:
All Criminal Charges Against Alec Baldwin Dropped By Santa Fe D.A. - NY Post
Pardon me for a moment.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.Surprising me with the speed of the collapse, but not the outcome, it appears obvious that after all the prosecutorial dipshits who ramrodded this witch hunt lost interest and bailed out some weeks back, the flunkie assistant D.A. who caught the case has no great love for watching their own legal reputation blown to fucking doll rags by Baldwin's defense attorneys, and has elected to get the fuck outta Dodge, rather than face the High Noon courtroom showdown that would have ended their legal career.
Boo frickin' hoo.
All of the naysayers and online legal eagles, including a certain Branca-hole, can now bite my shiny metal ass.
Exactly as I told you ought to happen, because the midwit NM authorities in charge of this monumental clusterfuck never had a legal leg to stand on, from the get-go, and the plea bargain by Dave Halls literally shot a gaping hole in their case before it ever got out of the starting blocks. {Not because of some mythical "let's not prosecute the washed-up second-rate movie star" clause in the NM state constitution.} The second biggest crime in this case was anyone ever indicting Baldwin for any crime, when it was clear within minutes who the actual culprits had to be, necessarily.
Exactly as we told you, and told you, and told you, and told you, and told you, and told you. Many of you, happily, listened. The rest should now stock up on ice bags for your 'roids.
You can't charge someone with criminal negligence with neither a criminal act, nor any duty to be negligent in performing. No elements, no crime. QED
Not content to walk away, the D.A.'s office dropped the charges "without prejudice", probably hoping against reality to someday find or concoct some way not to look like enormous jackasses for filing those idiotic charges in the first place, and so as not to admit the obvious, and open themselves up to a yuuuuuuuge civil suit by Baldwin for false arrest and malicious prosecution, and end up paying him in the bargain. But unless they come up with Baldwin on video loading live rounds into his own gun while cackling like Senator Kneepads, and bragging while twirling the loaded gun on his finger that he was going to kill the whole camera crew, the chances of that are lower than the odds of Hunter Biden discovering a cure for cancer. And if they don't refile by Halloween 2024, the statute of limitations in NM will preclude any further legal action.
The worst thing anyone can pursue will be against the LLC as a whole, which, by definition, has no assets but a cheesy script, a half-completed movie, a cursed production, and a completion bond payout if it's not finished, and a claim against the profits (there won't be any) if it ever is, and gets released. (Ask Art Buchwald how that works.)
All of the Legion Of Butthurt, and those possessed of second-rate intellects, please enjoy a 12-foot-long party sub of Shit Sandwich, with my most extreme compliments.
If Reed, clearly and primarily the actual homicidal criminal in the trial, has the wits God gives any jackass, she'll rapidly plead guilty, take the lumps, and depart the film industry for the rest of her braindead life after prison, other than catching a flick on the tube waiting for her sentence to end, knowing to her grave that her colossal ignorance got an innocent person killed.
Baldwin, meanwhile, deserves all the karma on the planet for being the actor unlucky enough to be holding a prop mis-supervised by such a pair of criminal lackwits, which got cinematographer Hutchins killed, and with a body count as high as Teddy Kennedy, his voice and opinions on gun control are forever silenced. Better late than never.
Take that win in this case, and walk away, instead of trying to gold-plate the turd while holding it from the clean end.
Dulce et decorum est.

We, as in the people who claim to be the Right, need to return to being people of principles over personalities. Of fact over feelz. Reason over emotion.
Wanting to convict Areck Bardwin because he's a Leftist jerk is Leftist thinking.
As a career state prosecutor, I read all your Baldwin posts and found them tremendously enlightening. Involuntary manslaughter laws always involve breach of some validly imposed legal duty and I had no clue that movie sets specifically employed "armorers" to bear the sole and ultimate duty of firearm safety on the set. What a tragic and senseless death this was. I'm not sure they could have hired a more inept clown for this particular movie. It almost implies malice or intentionality. I enjoy your site immensely!
PS-Ironically, I just followed up a 5-day vacay in Key West with four days of strep-throat and respiratory virus! I feel your pain!
I stopped in to see if you were taking your well-deserved victory lap, and am glad to see that you are. I've put mine up as well:

Sweet Jebus, the comments over at the linked article, oy vey!
Wonder if pinky will take a plea or if she'll try to pass the buck? Maybe NM will drop her charges too, and just stick with the OSHA fine for the production. That would be a shame.

Reed needs the maximum prison sentence permissible under NM law.
The pity is that they ever let Halls plead out, and he won't be getting the same sentence.
Yup, you called it. And, out of this mess I saw the movie "Heat".
Then you came out ahead.
Heat is truly awesome.
Had to analyze the lighting for a class, so watched it many more times than I normally would and it holds up well.

Never had a dog in this fight. Always figured they were all a bunch of Hollyweirdos that probably deserve the pain. But you did call it right from the get go. I had kinda forgot about all this honestly. I disagree with the girl getting the full punishment while everyone else walks. Letem all go or fuckem all the same is/was my position. Oh well not my problem.
Have a great weekend. Good luck with the flu.
Aesop,
Your 12-foot long party shit sandwich line was priceless.
The same people who went ballistic when the piece of shit DA in New York indicted Trump, cannot appreciate how retarded they are when they screamed for Baldwin's head. While I despise Baldwin's politics, letting the mob have its way is not "justice." It reminds me of how so many blacks cheered OJ's acquittal, even though they recognized that OJ was guilty, because it was a win for "their side." The Baldwin haters were simply hoping for a win for "their side."
Aesop, you bore the insults of conservative retards. Now, you can take a victory lap at Raconteur Report International Speedway.
Strong golf clap and a tip of the hat with a wink.
