Joel Souza is still directing and Matt Hutchins is still an executive producer on Rust, so it's going to be hard to convince a jury that Baldwnin is guilty of murder, negligent homicide, or involuntary manslaughter if the husband of the woman who died AND the director who was wounded are still working with Baldwin.

As much as we all hate Baldwin, I don't think he's guilty of manslaughter for killing Halyna Hutchins, but he is guilty as an executive producer for the sloppy and almost non-existent safety protocols on set, and for forcing first-time head armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed to double as a property master, not allowing her to be on the set with the firearms at all times when they were not locked up.

I think Hannah also has some culpability for allowing the set firearms to be used with live ammunition in the previous days, and for not ensuring the accident weapon was properly cleared.

Hannah was involved with cinematography. She may have
complained but she wasn’t responsible to my knowledge.

It’s good to say that I’m just a member of the public
saying what I think should happen.

Someone died, and I don’t like that happening without
some repercussions.

Folks had just that morning talked about lax safety.

I admit to being a little angry about this related
to that, no matter who it was.

I’ve tried to be somewhat understanding of Baldwin
too. In early comments at the time, I made some
comments that were more understanding.
