Stress and trauma are relevant immediately after the event. Days, weeks, and now years afterward stress and trauma are not an excuse, and self serving statements that contradict the facts are always indicia of guilt. Again, that’s not enough to convict him on, but it is enough to consider that he is trying to cover up his guilt. There are plenty of reasons why Baldwin may not be convicted, but it’s not because he has acted like a responsible person before and after the incident.
