Yep, he could plead out, but will he? I think he is arrogant enough to fight it, after all (in his own words) "I didn't pull the trigger".

Single action revolvers are notorious for cocking themselves. My Walker does it all the time.

6 months and fine............ maybe. New Mexico isn't CalifAlec Baldwin will not be punished in any way for killing that girl. Rich powerful people rarely pay for their crimes.
@Ken King - you heard it here first.

I wonder how long it will be for his hot, younger wife to leave him once he is broke from civil suites.
She hasn't left him yet even after he settled the wrongful death suit with Hutchins family back in October.

Haven’t been paying attention to it, had no idea he settled
Based on Gore's footprint she only counted for about 1/64th of a footprint.
You wouldn't think so until you look at their Governor.

Ok, I'm late to the party because, in general, Baldwin's story gets way too much coverage, I've been ignoring most of it and I am generally highly suspicious when so many news organizations cover a story that - had it not involved someone FAMOUS - wouldn't get national coverage at all.
So what I'd like to know is why and how a LIVE ROUND ever made it into a gun used on the set? Why was there a live round within a mile of that set? And you'd think - whomever PUT that bullet in there is FAR more guilty of a crime than Baldwin. I don't like the guy one bit - but it sure seems weak to blame him for pointing a prop gun at someone, and not find out who loaded it.
Did I get something wrong?

Yep, it was a real single action revolver being used as a prop. Anyone that handled the weapon was obligated to verify that it either wasn't loaded or was loaded with blanks. And even if loaded with blanks they shouldn't have pointed and fired it at anything they had no intention of shooting. This is all Firearms Safety 101.
As to the live rounds I'm pretty sure I read/heard that prior to the actual shooting cast and/or crew had been "plinking" targets with the "classic" weapons.
Yep. They are suppose to point to the side of other actors and crew and let the camera angle and movements make it look right.
One of the Propmasters on Hollywood weapons, Larry Zanoff described in in detail on one of their shows. Baldwin broke that rule too.
