In an accident similar to Alec Baldwin's shooting of Halyna Hutchins, Brandon Lee's co-star fired a prop gun at the 28-year-old actor during the filming of 'The Crow.'
Nancy Gertner, a trial lawyer, retired judge and senior lecturer at Harvard Law School, told NPR that filing criminal charges, in the deaths of both Lee and Hutchinson, is often up to the acting prosecutor's discretion. She called the decision to charge Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter both"unusual" and"difficult to prove."
Gertner points to other members of the crew — including the film's armorer, who is also facing charges of involuntary manslaughter — and their handling and management of the gun before it came into Baldwin's possession. To prove Baldwin's culpability, Gertner said the prosecutors are theorizing that Baldwin held a greater responsibility in the death than originally thought. She also pointed to the roles that social media and"the unbelievable crush of publicity" might be playing in the prosecutors' decision.
