That’s how it must be, not just for some idiot movie star but for all of us. We’ve seen how the justice system can be perverted and twisted to pursue the political ends of the people in power. Anything that limits that power is good. Anything that limits that power is necessary. I’m not happy that Alec Baldwin had his case dismissed, and I’m not happy that the people of New Mexico lost their opportunity to find out if he had committed a crime. But I am ecstatic that a judge held the prosecutors to the expected high standards. And again, I’m not some thug-hugger. My mom was a prosecutor for many years before she became a judge. I grew up around ethical prosecutors. There’s not a lot of patience for criminals running in my veins. But there’s even less for a government that fails to use the power we entrusted to it to do justice.DOOO read the final paragraph.
There may still be some justice for Halyna Hutchins and her family. The civil lawsuit — the lawsuit by the family for money damages — will still go forward. And Alec Baldwin’s got a big problem. Her family’s lawyer is Brian Panish of Los Angeles. Let me tell you a little something about Brian Panish. He’s the best lawyer I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched him in court. I’ve gone up against him. He’s unbelievably good. And he’s a good guy. If anybody out there will present the best possible case against Alec Baldwin, it’s Brian Panish and his team. And he’s going to do it ethically. Too bad the prosecutors didn’t.
