Baldwin Charges Downgraded

[PGage]

I’m no legal expert, but I’m glad they did this. The firearm sentencing enhancement, which would have taken an Involunatry Manslaughter convict or from a 1.5 to 5 year minimum sentence, is reported to have based on a law passed after the incident.

The mist common mistake made by prosecutors in high profile cases is over-charging, which undercuts their credibility with the jury. The theory of the case here is not that Baldwin had any malice or intent to harm, but was reckless and irresponsible in his actions. That seems like a reasonable and provable case, just stick to that and get a conviction.
