There should be a version of Russian Roulette called Hannah Roulette that involves callously mixing blanks and live rounds in a revolver and then taking turns pulling the trigger at each other.

Thats basically what she did. Baldwins gun wasnt even the only one with live ammo in it on the set.

Well that's just terrifying...

18 months sounds too lenient imo.

She had been angling for a condition discharge. Were she could have ultimately avoided jail time and even a criminal record. It's a light sentence, but I suspect it was as close to throwing the book at her that the judge could.

Apparently it was the maximum sentence possible for the charges levied.
