This case is weird. You have Trumptards wanting Baldwin imprisoned because he mocked Trump once on tv. Then you have bleeding heart leftists who simp for Hannah because muh mysoggyknee, muh classism, muh wimmin never dun nufin wrong. It’s a perfect storm of shitty people coming together for a wrong cause.

Sorry kid. Someone’s gotta swing and they weren’t ever going to let it be the rich guy.

That’s not exactly surprising - I’m pretty sure a first-year law student would do as much. The real question is will it actually get dismissed. Normally I would suspect not, but we live in the weirdest fucking timeline, so who the hell knows.

She was in charge of keeping things safe, she failed in her responsibilities and someone died. She is at fault and should face the consequences.

What will it help? She will stay dead and another life is destroyed? It will not prevent it from happening again, more than the death of an innocent person.

What’s the ultimate goal? If it’s purely punitive, then sure.

But if the goal is anything other than that, I don’t see the point. It’s not any rehabilitation she needs would come in prison. It’s not like anyone who look at this and say “well, I can be careless and just bank on the cops fucking up,” so the deterrence is already there. And I can think of hundreds of better ways she can make it up to the victims.

So is that it? Is it really just about “facing the consequences?”

At what point do you think people should be held accountable for their actions? Her negligence CAUSED a death. She only got 18 months in jail and that’s too much?

At what point do you think people should be held accountable for their actions?

My view is very pragmatic: I believe punishments for crimes should be restorative, for rehabilitation, or act as a deterrent. I don’t see how any of these are met by her going to jail for 18 months.

I’ve answered your question, so I’ll try mine again: Is it simply about “being held accountable”?

I know right. The logic seems to be “well he didn’t get charged for it so I shouldn’t be either”. Yeah, but keeping weapons safe was your job, not his.

The case was dismissed because of misconduct by the police and prosecutors. It has nothing to do with being charged, he was charged. She’s saying the same thing happened in her case, so if his case was dismissed so should her conviction. So yeah, if the same misconduct happened, then it should obviously be overturned too.

And make no mistake about it, if you accidentally caused the death of someone, you would be looking for every opportunity to have the case dismissed too.

You think it was an accident? It was an accident she didn’t do her job? It wasn’t an accident, it was negligence.
