    Even if they find him guilty (and it looks like the defense is still insisting he didn’t pull the trigger, which is both a pretty wild claim and something you’d think would have been filmed, right?) he’s apparently only looking at 18 months for involuntary manslaughter.

    He’ll be fine. Something tells me his time will be served under house arrest at worst, and it’s not like he can’t afford good lawyers.

        Pretty bold statement to claim you know how a legal case you aren’t personally involved in will work out when the courts still don’t, lol

                    I’m not sure if you’re reading too deeply into this comment chain or don’t know that Alec is back on trial, but, spoilers, they don’t generally do trials for rich old white people with open and shut cases of innocence.

                    What Alec will get is the best legal defense money can buy, and if that defense proves it wasn’t negligence on his part, good for him.

                    What no one but Alec can say at this point, and maybe not even him, memories and denial being what they are, is that they know for sure how the trial will go.
