I see an issue with Baldwin - he was mucking about and assumed the gun had blanks - he should never have pointed the gun at anyone, let alone fired it. Even if it had blanks loaded it may have caused distress to the victim.
Totally agree. Doesn’t matter who loaded it or with what, he pulled the trigger.
In my book … criminally negligent manslaughter. But with top lawyers he will get away with it.
I remember reading recently about an incident where a bloke was mucking about with a hand axe at a garden party with friends…until the axe head came flying off and hit a guest in the eye. Not friends anymore after sight loss AND the court case.
When I was learning to drive with my father, on one occasion, exasperated with his instructions I took my hands of the wheel to ‘gesticulate my point’. He went ballistic at me removing my hands, shouting I was ‘in charge of a lethal weapon’.
At the time, being 17, I thought he was just being silly….but of course he was right.
He sent me to BSM for the rest of my lessons.
