(A representative for Baldwin has not yet responded to CNN’s request for comment.)Īs earlier indicated, this is by no means Baldwin’s first time getting mad on the streets of New York City. (Also a “Fuck off!”) Baldwin was arrested and taken to the 6th precinct where he was charged with assault. When the unidentified man got out of the car, Baldwin accosted him and then, supposedly, there was a punch involved.

The story seems to be, according to TMZ, that Baldwin had a friend holding a free spot for the actor, but then some other jabroni came swooping in and stole the spot, incensing Baldwin. Yeah, Alec Baldwin was arrested on Friday for allegedly punching a man in a dispute over a parking spot on 10th Street in Greenwich Village. Just when you begin to feel that the New York you once knew is gone forever, Alec Baldwin goes and gets in a fight with someone on the street to remind us all that some things never change. There may be a Target on Avenue A now, its bright fluorescent light drowning out a lost bohemia’s ghosts. The leaves may have turned a golden ochre in the last week or so, winter whispering its way into Manhattan once again. And yet, some things are immutable, never altered, as concrete as the very sidewalks of New York. There are lots and lots of questions.As a great thinker once said: seasons change, so do cities. His responsibility to the team would depend on what the contract says, and would depend upon who else was responsible. Judge Gertner continued, “The question is what kind of liability he might have based on that-not as a shooter, but as someone who is responsible for the scene. His risk would therefore likely to be more civil in nature.” He said, “As the producer on the film, he is probably more likely to be liable under civil law for negligence or, potentially, contractual law if there is something in the contracts of the director of photography who worked on the film as to health and safety. Nash explained how not just being an actor can create more problems for Baldwin. The odds are that there would be insurance for civil issues,” before noting: “Negligence is the prototype of an accidental killing-not criminal, but an accident.”
That would determine who's liable for what. Then there's the question of what the contract was.
There's also a question of whether there is protocol, so the handling of guns, that he may or may not have breached. One question is, was there some negligence in the projectile that was used in the gun and who was negligent. She stated, “Civil liability is different, and that really depends on facts we don't know yet. He said, “It would appear that under New Mexico law, Alec Baldwin could be guilty of involuntary manslaughter, which is a killing that takes place without due caution and circumspection,” before adding that under the fourth-degree felony "the maximum penalty under New Mexico law would be a fine of $5,000 or an 18-month prison sentence”.īut retired judge Gertner said that though chances of criminal charges are very low, Baldwin may be slapped with lawsuits. Matthew Nash, Attorney-at-law (California) and Bar Practice Tutor at The University of Law, believes that the 63-year-old comedian could face an involuntary manslaughter charge.
