Probably plea down to negligent use of a deadly weapon, a petty misdemeanor. Of course, after a dog-and-pony show. Sentencing? 180 days maximum incarceration and/or a $500 maximum fine. Judge may suspend incarceration and/or fine. Looks like the AD made the right decision. Hope the AD has/will offer evidence on the matter.

Sooner or later AB will see the light and turn against HGR. AB and AD will offer testimony that HGR erred. Maybe HGR has an ace up her sleeve, something she can use to dirty AB if he turns. Lots of back room stuff going on, what with NM wanting to remain Hollywood friendly, AB wanting to preserve his position as an influencer, and HGR wanting to avoid jail time (her career is probably finished anyway).

Reminder to all: if handed a weapon it is your responsibility as to what happens with the weapon while it is in your possession. That responsibility cannot be delegated. That responsibility cannot be relieved asserting the person handing you the weapon said the weapon had no live rounds.
