Could Alec Baldwin be charged after the fatal 'Rust' incident? According to legal experts, law enforcement's investigation into the incident needs to yield more details before questions about liability and criminal charges can be answered with certainty. But here are some things they say to expect. Though Baldwin discharged the gun resulting in Hutchins' death and Souza's injury, it's unlikely the "30 Rock" alum will face criminal charges, especially if he didn't know the firearm contained live ammunition, says Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor who co-founded the Los Angeles personal injury firm West Coast Trial Lawyers. Juan Rios, a public information officer for the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, told USA TODAY Friday he can neither confirm nor deny what type of ammunition was in the prop gun: “That information is one of the particulars that we’re trying to determine at this point – what kind of projectile was in that firearm.” One circumstance for which Baldwin could be held liable, Rahmani says, is if evidence arises suggesting the actor behaved irresponsibly with the gun, despite knowing the risks. This could amount to criminal negligence on the part of Baldwin, though there's no evidence to support this yet. "There are some circumstances where even a prop gun with a blank can be dangerous if it's shot within close range," Rahmani says. "Let's say it was loaded with a blank, but Baldwin himself was criminally negligent and shot it from close range, even though it wasn't a live round. Then he could be held liable." #alecbaldwin
