Description
On October 21, 2021, Alec Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while rehearsing a scene for the movie Rust and Alec Baldwin was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter. Critics argue that charges should not be filed since he believed the gun did not contain live ammunition. Whether you are deciding to file a civil complaint or criminal charges, attorneys must conduct a screening process before moving forward.
In this presentation, we will discuss the screening process in both civil and criminal cases. Attendees will learn how prosecutors make charging decisions, the factors they consider, the evidence supporting the Baldwin charges and the State’s two theories of criminal liability. The goal of the presentation is for attendees to review the evidence in this case including film clips relating to the charges and determine whether the prosecutor made the correct charging decision.
Attendees have described this presentation as "amazing", "engaging", "informative", and "entertaining".
