Here I'm playing the devil's advocate.

"The only thing Baldwin's lawyers have to do is sew doubt. They can do that by claiming the pistol was faulty, worn or modified. And that explains how it could "go off" without pulling the trigger which means Alec is in the clear."

What I mean by claiming: They don't have to have proof. Just the claim alone could be enough to create* reasonable doubt.
(I used the word "create" very deliberately in this statement)

Remember OJ? "The glove didn't fit"

This my my prediction: The insurance company of the production company will have to pay out a large sum of money to the family of Halyna Hutchins.

And that's about it...

Regardless of the outcome this could be the end of Baldwin's career in movies.
