re: Baldwin charged again

My understanding is that he was rehearsing, and that everyone expected the gun to be empty. I thought the scene was that he was seated on a bench/church pew, was approached by a bad guy (per the script), and he draws-fires. And that they were working out that scene, how best to present it. So he draws and pulls trigger as intended, at a pre-determined area, and she was there instead of out of the line of fire. Again, a cheap and easy way to get the best angle. Only, the gun was loaded and went bang, which shocked the shite out of everyone. And then they realized "oh shite you shot her"

Which is the very definition of negligent homicide. Or, involuntary manslaughter. A gun is an inherently dangerous object where extraordinary care must be used when handling one to avoid an accident. As soon as Baldwin pointed the gun at someone, he was at risk of negligence if an accident happened because a gun is an inherently dangerous object.
