 Alec Baldwin received favorable rulings on Monday, which will make this criminal involuntary manslaughter trial more difficult for the prosecution to prove. The prosecution had hoped to hold Baldwin criminally negligent, not only as an actor who allegedly fired the gun, but also as a producer on the film who tolerated a chaotic, disorganized, and unsupervised set. The judge ruled that only his conduct as the actor holding the gun can be considered by the jury.
