There was so much confusion at the scene when the shooting occurred.

I can understand why there has to be a trial and evidence presented.

Baldwin can only be convicted if there is proof without a reasonable doubt that he was responsible for Reed's death.

While he would be charged with involuntary manslaughter, he has the opportunity to prove the events were accidental on his part.

New Mexico statute for involuntary manslaughter:

B. Involuntary manslaughter consists of manslaughter committed in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to felony, or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death in an unlawful manner or without due caution and circumspection.

Whoever commits involuntary manslaughter is guilty of a fourth degree felony.
