You should all be ashamed of yourselves, cracking wise over this tragedy of intolerable sadness.
Apparently the findings were thst the guns were in correct working order and did not fire by themselves...
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation has concluded that the firearm that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” could not have fired “without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional.”
According to an FBI reported obtained by ABC News, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.” Alec Baldwin, the star and producer of the Western, was holding the firearm at the time of the incident last October. Baldwin has stated that he was under the impression that he was holding a “cold gun” — one without live ammunition. The live round killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza."
Is there any good reason to have live rounds on a Hollywood set??
That’s absolutely riveting. Guaranteed, he’s doing 1/2 a day in jail. FBI is too busy building tunnels from Mexico to the us
Everybody's an expert on the proper length of an investigation and what it takes to accomplish it.
5 minutes is too long to spend on an investigation when the person involved acknowledges what happened.
It becomes an asinine waste of everyone's time and money the longer it goes.
You know due process is a thing that exists, and why. It takes time.
We're not a country with drumhead trials with predetermined sentences. An investigation takes however long it takes, and neither of us is in anything resembling a position to know what's long enough or too long.
Due process for what? Did they decide to charge him with murder?
Due process, lol
They collect and analyze and interview. If they do a shitty job, lawyers will tear it apart. However much time it takes to build a case the prosecutor can run with is the time they'll take, within reason as determined by people other than us. As I understand it that's part of due process.
Violation of due process
Due process balances the power of law of the land and protects the individual person from it. When a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends the rule of law.
Nahp. Went down due process rabbit hole and can't find anything beyond handling of evidence, but it isn't specific to the initial proceedings.
Assertion withdrawn.
Can't say anything, on my own anyways, about how long it ought to take.

As I said, as far as I'm aware he isn't being charged criminally. This strikes me as an FBI circle jerk, which historically speaking is the extent of their work.
Bingo
FBI doesn’t really investigate? You can’t be serious? Our government?
I didn't say they didn't investigate. I said they do nothing but circle jerks.
Fair enough, they’re a bunch of hypocrites
Baldwin claimed that the firearm discharged without him touching the trigger.
He said he released the hammer and it fired.
The FBI has asserted unequivocally that he had to have released the sear via the trigger in order for the shot to be fired.
