    “Yeah he blew off this years mandatory training, but he showed up to last years training, it can’t be his fault!”.

    Idk that doesn’t really seem like a valid excuse

      We’re talking manslaughter charges here, Baldwin’s lawyer doesn’t have to prove he’s not at fault, the prosecution has to prove without a reasonable doubt that he is at fault. Very different things.

        He has both criminal and civil charges being brought against him though, and the civil charges have a much lower standard. He might not be charged with manslaughter, but still be liable as the one at fault

          Yeah for sure, but I mean the context of this conversation is him being actually charged.
