I don't know if criminal charges are in the works. You can bet a wrongful death suit is. Naming her, Alec, the studio, and whomever they can think of.
Yeah, I was wondering what would come of this, if criminal charges would be filed. Although I sort of don't want there to be. Like, honestly, (unless someone did this on purpose) I feel like enough people have been hurt by this and the last thing that needs to be done is to send some poor, random person to prison with a felony on their record and screw up their life too. But, I do agree the studio should do something to compensate for what happened and make changes to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

Anybody know if anything happened with the incident with Brandon Lee?
 

Brandon's mother settled a wrongful death lawsuit for an undisclosed amount. No criminal charges.

I'm not a law talking guy.

Negligent homicide? A type of assault charge? It might come down to how much the DA wants publicity and a show trial or how much pressure they get to file charges. I'm with you. Criminal charges don't always have to be filed in every case. Sometimes accidents happen and doesn't have to be a crime.
 

From what I’ve heard, criminal charges are unlikely. It sounds like a pure accident- the firearms prop master was apparently doing the job as her first solo gig, and likely just made a mistake.

Her career is probably over. At the least, it will be years before anyone puts her in charge again. If that’s even what she wants anymore.

Thus spake a law talkin guy.


Got a totally hypothetical, completely made up question. A politician absolutely did not make this claim during a campaign speech.

A woman running for Secretary of State claimed to have prophetic dreams. In a dream someone broke into her house and tried to killer. She said a prayer that such an act would be visited on the person who tried to do it to her. The next day in a conversation with her mother, her mother told her someone broke in and killed a witch that lived down the street.

My question about this; Can she be held responsible for praying for harm?
 

Nope. Not unless her “prayer” was public enough to be considered stochastic terrorism.


The classic historical example is Henry II’s, “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?!” said in the presence if some homicidally-minded knights…

how was i supposed to know he was being sarcastic?
 


My default setting is sarcasm. The knob got broken off in the 80s. We have to use pliers to reach in to turn the thingy. It's more trouble than it's worth.
