i can actually show that to you. i suspected somebody put alive round. no, and that was he says, the gun never should have been loaded with a live round or yeah. and that he was told it was safe to use. it's a point. baldwin insist clears him of wrongdoing. but prosecutors disagree. the actor and the films amara honda gutierrez reed, are facing 2 counts of involuntary manslaughter. we need more units on criminal defense attorney. rachel, vice is a connected with the case, but says the charges aren't about intense the charges all relate to negligence. nothing intentional. there they are not trying to show that any part of this wasn't accidental. they were just trying to show that they were not exercising caution and care. we're going to baldwin's team comes to charge a miscarriage of justice. the producer who handed him the gun has accepted a plea,

decision distorts helene hutchins tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. mister baldwin had no reason to believe there was a lie bull in the gun or anywhere on the movie sacks back in part of what part of the statement that was released on behalf of alcohol. is he looking at jail time if convicted? yes, it's very, very interesting that you mentioned it because i was looking up to see, you know, what does this, these cows, you know, how much yell time couldn't get? well, remember, he's been charged with 2 different types of involuntary manslaughter. the 1st type would only give you 18 months behind bars. the 2nd type carries a mandatory sentence of 5 years behind bars. and there really has not been any word from his camp as to whether or not or plead guilty or take some sort of plea deal, which might get him off the hook from cellar of from having any type of deal time. and just having probation,

we still don't know how the live rounds got to set. we know what company were supposed to deliver the rounds, and we don't know if that company had anything to do with a mistake in the delivery live rounds to the staff. certainly a terrible tragedy. thanks. k, j entertainment journalist k j matthews, in los angeles. thank you. you're up to date coming up next, our documentary series with taiwan, the tale of a digital democracy. and don't forget to stay up to date on our website, t t u dot com for me in the team here. take care to see very simple little no davinci, mysterious masterpiece. this perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece and the collection of the louvre. it is the virgin of the rocks. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting.
