“Balwin handled the gun without knowing the state of the gun (loaded/unloaded) knowing it WAS a real gun and COULD kill someone. He then went on to cock hammer/release hammer/pull trigger (pick whatever you like) while the gun was pointed at the chest of the dead victim, knowing it WAS a real gun and COULD kill someone. That is the very definition of negligence.”
On a movie set all that is the responsibility of the armor that has been held in court on a number of occasions I’m sorry you can’t understand that. He was handed a certified cold gun. He has no legal responsibility to double check that from the armor frankly he lacks the skills to do so and the law is on his side on that he can simply say I was handed a certified cold gun by my licenced armor and it was declared cold.
Further he was under active instructions on where to point that declared cold gun and to.manipulate the mechanisms again as an actor following instructions he is under guidance. I will up my bet to a grand I’m not a poor I spend more on craps in a day. He won’t be charged let alone convicted.
Personally, I think he will be charged and likely convicted. Unfortunately, like Smollett we will have to wait three or four years for this process to occur.
