| [BBC] Sold his $10M NY ranch. Gave the widower a production job. I expect now some re-election monies have become available.

| #5 #3 the question remains as to why it was charged in the first place Because the guy's an asshole? Posted by: Skidmark 2023-02-22 11:18 It's entirely possible that at least part of the idea was that Baldwin and his lawyers would ask for a deal based on the charge...which would indicate that, like most other politicians, those in NM have zero understanding of the Constitution they're sworn to uphold.

| #2 the prosecution dropped the firearm enhancement charge to "avoid further litigious distractions by Mr Baldwin and his attorneys". The enhancement charge was based on a law passed *after* the shooting. We generally frown on such things in America. Dropping is the right thing, but the question remains as to why it was charged in the first place. Publicity? |
