Alex Baldwin

Yes. But what you're suggesting? That's called a damn plea deal. Not a removal of the charges. Baldwin still will have to plead guilty to said charges before these conditions are in place.








WHAT?! In what superinsane and criminally naive world do you live in? I'm sure the Vegas odds that Alec Baldwin is going to get any jail time. And with the two charges against him at a maximum of 18 months each? You expect Alec Baldwin to give up his net worth of $70+MM and his potential to earn tens of millions more to avoid 3 years in prison? Which I already said, he'll likely won't even have to do?

There's no incentive for him to give away all of his money to the state. I'm sure the victim's family would like to sue him in civil court. If he has no money? They won't get anything.

I'm certain his family wouldn't like getting all of their future inheritance taken away from them.

Why would Baldwin agree to a conviction and sentence completely out of line with what he is accused of? I'm not even sure if Baldwin is in any way responsible for the death on set. When Brandon Lee was killed on set in similar circumstances, no criminal charges were filed. Corporate law in the US generally shields employees doing their jobs and liability falls to the corporation and the corporation in this case has already reached a settlement with the victim's husband. To convict Baldwin, the DA would have to show that Baldwin was either directly responsible for the safety on set or negligent in doing his job as an actor or director. I doubt either will happen. The DA is pretty shaky legal ground.

Channeling Clarifying post for typo.

I'm sure the Vegas odds that Alec Baldwin ISN'T going to get any jail time.

I did not mean that my proposal is likely to occur, only that I thought it is in the interest of Tennessean and American society.

Perhaps not all of his net worth but a piece of it.

Admittedly his family would not like my idea. But they don't get a vote. Alex is facing possible prison while his family is not.

I don't think it is in the interest of society to allow the wealthy to buy themselves out of culpability. If Baldwin is indeed responsible, I think it is in the interest of society to convict him and have him serve the same sentence anyone else would.

Have you thought of writing policy for the Republic Party?

Worst case scenario for Alec Baldwin? Less than 3 years in (he ain't going to maximum security prison. He's a nonviolent millionaire) in the cushiest of minimal security lockups? Your idea makes ZERO sense for any party involved.

I guess you mean the Republican Party.

No, I had not thought of it.

That said, the present-day Republican Party is, to a great degree, is the party of Trump. I think that Donald Trump was not fit to be president. However, I agreed with a few of his positions.

I thought that the old Republican Party had good positions some of the time.

According to you "I thought that the old Republican Party had good positions some of the time."

That's true, too bad all the decent republicans who loved democracy have been tossed out. Maybe if they ever start teaching "Ancient American History" children will learn about the time we actually had two parties.

Not a day in jail.

Are you hoping to do away with courts?
