Gunslinger Baldwin cracks me up, lol.
He killed someone whilst was holding a firearm which had live bullets. As the film's producer, Baldwin had responsibility to keep live bullets from the set. He failed at that.
He also did point the gun at someone - that's how you shoot a gun, lol ...
Let's see if we can follow the story and connect the dots:
1. Alec Baldwin is a notorious hot head.

7. Some (many?) legal experts disagree: say his conduct rises at least to the level of "manslaughter"

"I let go of the hammer" on a gun you didn't personally verify if it was loaded. Criminal negligence.
To me, that's the same as driving 300 km/h and blaming someone else for changing in your lane at the last minute. You drive recklessly and cause death? You go to jail. You manipulate a deadly firearm recklessly and cause death? You go to jail.
I shot the sheriff, but did not shoot the deputy.
