re: Alex Baldwin likely to face charges in shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins

When you deliberately point a loaded weapon at someone, and then pull the trigger on purpose, there should be legal consequences when your actions result in a person's death.

indeed. i am sure there are protocols and requirements in place. A check should be done to see if a weapon is loaded at all stages of hand off. if this didn't happen, the appropriate charges should be sought.

in this case it would not be murder. i think manslaughter would be what they should be seeking. This is dependent if said rules and regulations are indeed in place. im curious what legal requirement California has for said handling of onset firearms. if it is solely the responsibility of the armorer and their department then they wouldnt have any grounds to charge Baldwin.
