The repercussions for Baldwin, the film’s executive producer, could even include negligent manslaughter charges, according to Joseph Costa, an attorney with Costa Law in Los Angeles.
“As an executive producer, you are in a position of control and you can get prosecuted criminally,” he said. “It’s the equivalent of drinking and driving, meaning someone may not have intended to cause great harm but they do.”
New Mexico criminal attorney Erlinda Johnson, a former state and federal prosecutor, said the “Beetlejuice” actor could face possible criminal liability for involuntary manslaughter.
