Prosecutors announced that actor Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer who was killed on a New Mexico movie set
It's a blurry line for me in this case because it's the same kind of thing as social murder. You're intentionally creating the conditions for someone to die. He's the producer trying to cheap out with scab labour, not checking the weapon from his discount gun contractor, and pulling the trigger the first time in the direction of another person. To me that's second-degree murder more than it is manslaughter because he's being negligent at multiple levels for profit.
Wouldn't it still be manslaughter even if it was an accident?
