something like this will never ever happen again. so, speaking about the law and the charges involved, you ve got involuntary manslaughter. there is two different theories to establish involuntary manslaughter in new mexico. they both require criminal negligence. the first one which involves the unlawful act that doesn t amount to a felony has a lower standard of criminal negligence on the lower level. but the second one, the second way of establishing involuntary manslaughter is that the manslaughter was committed in the commission of a lawful act. todd: right. that is where the questions will come in. you know that is where the case will be. todd: i think it will get settled and they will plea but we will see. lara, really great points come appreciate it.
that can be involuntary manslaughter. the other ways to do a lawful act. let s just say that using that gun in that scene was, quote, lawful but doing without that contemplation and caution. and that s where the strength of the states cases going to go, even though they are aggressive charges. they are going to say, look, a gun is a dangerous instrumentality. we know that and you have to presume that it is loaded. if you didn t do everything you should have done, that is not enough caution and you could find himself with involuntary manslaughter. even if you have people that are supposedly experts of the armada set handing the gun. you see some director saying it s safe to use. and that s his defense, the the defenses, look, we make believe that there is gunfight. we make believe that we re hitting you with the. knife, and we are supposed to do this at high reliance professionals. that is going to be the
surprised by the announcement. we see a lot of prosecutions, in new mexico that, i think, are somewhat weak. basically, for the state to convict another defendant of this case, there is two ways to prove involuntary manslaughter. when the killing happens, during a conviction of the misdemeanors, and the second is when the death occurs during a lawful act, and that may cause a death, and is done without due caution, or circumspection. especially when you go on to do something recklessly. charles, there is a word that the first assistant director, david hall, agreed to plead guilty to a negligent use of a deadly weapon, and that he will testify. obviously, this is not a great thing to hear if you are alec baldwin, and you are applauding their defense. how do you see the core issue, before a journey, being here?
