Baldwin pulled the trigger.
Period.

No; the article explained quite clearly. It is not so simple as that. There is liability all over the place. The liability of the guy who pulled the trigger is probably least of all. Baldwin-actor may walk. Baldwin-producer will almost certainly be liable at least for wrongful death because of negligence. The gun-wrangler chick may well meet the standard of gross negligence. The AD may be found liable for simple negligence. Somebody needs to go to jail for this, but we don’t have enough information to make that call.
Just hating Alec Baldwin is a stupid way to do law. Trust me, you do not want unpopularity to become the jurisprudential norm in this country.
Or, as the saying goes, blame the finger, not the trigger.
