She has a point.
If she identified the guns in the first two cases as loaded with blanks, then those would have been the responsibility of the subsequent handlers.
However, the gun in question she was supposed to load with dummy rounds.
This does doesn’t much to solve the case at hand, other then to point to sloppy general management. She is still responsible for her own actions. Nothing here absolves her of those actions.
“She has a point.”
Only insofar as she admits being absolutely incompetent at her job.
Set armorer’s #1 purpose is to ensure all weapons on set are functional and safe. Every round must be accounted for, every gun verified safe for the context of its use, every precaution taken to ensure accidents don’t harm anyone, and - undiscussed - everyone touching a weapon vetted on weapon handling safety. Her job included ensuring Baldwin himself would personally, automatically, check the safety condition of any weapon handed him - and stop him if he doesn’t.
If, in fact, the ‘Rust’ armorer inspected the revolver, or loaded the rounds, unable to
tell blanks from live bullets, such ineptness should disqualify her from any future
"armorer position.
Her legendary "armorer" dad obviously did not properly train her.
The apprentice trainer does share responsibility for the negligent homicide.
No, she doesn’t. Did she have nothing but real ammunition, and then loaded because that was all she had? Right. I’m betting that she doesn’t know the difference between blanks and the live ammo.
