Negligent homicide. You have to have been negligent in a way that a reasonable person could foresee someone being injured or killed. For example, if I knowingly use defective steel in a construction project that later collapses and kills someone. It's very difficult to prove unless you have a smoking gun as intentional negligence requires more proof than "they should have known". You need proof that they did know and did it anyways. I don't think there's any chance at all of criminal charges for Baldwin. Someone may get sacrificed to make this go away, but it's almost certainly not going to be Baldwin.
