Has there ever been a rationale stated by the murderer why he pointed a weapon at someone NOT in the movie (much less while not filming) and pulled the trigger ?

Yes, there has. It’s common knowledge about the event.

It is incorrect to call Baldwin a murderer because he was never charged with murder nor found guilty of it. Involuntary manslaughter is a very different crime.

That so-called armorer is a clown who should never be let anywhere near a firearm again.

Mr Majestic gets off scott free, while she’s in jail.

A prosecution would have been justice, either to convict or exonerate him. Now it will never be known.

This is why prosecutors MUST follow the rules of the law. The prosecutor who stifled evidence should never be allowed to prosecute again; her actions denied justice for everyone.

filling it with acid and telling me it's water is a deliberate act

It could be a mistake - picked up a wrong jug, for instance. Some acid solutions are odorless, colorless, and indistinguishable from water

remember, it's not a weapon designed specifically to kill

Technically, a gun with fake bullets can be argued also as not a weapon designed specifically to kill

What do you think?

Just something to think about

It's 50%. You shouldn't have given me a water gun filled with acid and told me it's water. I should have checked for myself that it was, in fact, water. How did I do?

Actually, that's pretty good. Ok, what if we add that it's my professional job to give you a water gun filled with water (I mean, it's not like a doctor giving you a medicine pill to swallow, but it's still a professional job). Does that change anything?

So SHE didn’t pull the trigger, although it was HER JOB to prepare the “Prop”…and Mr Majestic gets off scott free, while she’s in jail.

Depends. If I gave ya a water gun and told ya it's a water gun, and ya pulled the trigger at someone thinking it's a water gun, but it actually has acid in it - how much is it your fault?

I think they both have criminal liability in regard to their wanton negligence.

That said, the prosecution really did a horrible job in discovery and the Judge rightly threw out the case (ALEC should thank his lucky stars).

That would seem to imply that the same prosecution misconduct could be present in this conviction as well and she should at minimum have her appeal heard on an expedited basis.
