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.
There is a little part of me that would like to see charges just because it's obvious to anyone with sense that he was violating the basic rules of firearm safety, but the other part of me knows that would be hard to really say because the nature of filmmaking with firearms is that those rules will constantly be violated. That's a whole other conversation.
