The D.A.'s dropped the charges pending further investigation of the crime.They didn't want to rush the trial without all the evidence. He can and probably will be recharged once they are done with their investigation.

I surely hope so. I would hate to see this arrogant, loudmouth, P.O.S. walk away from this.

And to date the idiot of the family, Stephen still hasn't shot anyone as far as I know. Not Daniel or Billy either. Just Smart Alec.

I figure the gun going off without pulling the trigger was something to salve his conscience.  And after testing the gun the lab could not make it fire without pulling the trigger...

Looks like he's going to be charged again:

Set aside all of Baldwin's rambling in interview, and pretend he held to his Right to remain silent. Keep in mind that Baldwin is an anti-gun nut with minimal education and use of firearms. Also remember that this is a movie set where prop firearms are commonly used and the standard rules of firearm safety are modified for theatrical purposes.

The two people I see falling for this are the Armorer, who is responsible for the custody, care and operation of the firearms and ammunition. And Baldwin as producer. As producer he is an employer and responsible for a safe workplace. Baldwin the actor is trusting the direction and information from the "experts" controlling the scene.

Baldwin's fate is not as much about the big picture of a setting where proper experts were or were not involved as it will be about the firearms attitude of a jury and judge.

At this point, with only the evidence we have before us, I would like to see Baldwin the actor acquitted, the armorer and her company convicted, and Baldwin the producer penalized for lack of due diligence in controlling the set. will wait to see how the trial goes, and what the PC slant on everything will be.

One problem with that... there had already been 3 NDs on site before this happened.  That is 100% on the HNIC.   He should have been handling that safety issue.   In my industry  they would be facing 7 figures in fines from osha.  Not just company fines but personal fines.

Not only the 3NDs but allegedly they were target shooting on site in their down time. 
Live ammo plus guns that will chamber and fire said ammo is STRICTLY VERBOTEN! on any movie set where anyone has a clue. Which in this case was nobody.
The twit “Armorer” (in name only) was obviously brain dead…just like the producer that hired her.

And they STILL keep referring to the gun as a "prop gun". No, it wasn't a PROP gun, it was a REAL gun, capable of firing REAL ammunition, and causing REAL death, REAL personal injury, and REAL property damage. That should be quite evident by now. ::) Get the FACTS straight. Everything else is subject to interpretation, but facts are FACTS. And the fact is that gun was no movie prop.

I don't know about the rest of you, but even if I see some one check the chamber, leave the action open and hand it too me... I still double check it.
