They weren’t even filming Alec. Good grief.

The crew had been pretty upset about safety precautions on
set as I understand it.

Alec and this woman had words earlier, again, as I understand
it.

So he evidently attempted to razz or intimidate her by
pointing the gun at her and pulling the trigger.

If these parameters are correct as stated, then I don’t
see how it’s anything less than reckless endangerment
and a lower level of manslaughter.

Someone died because of this buffoon’s misguided actions.

Evidently the crew had grounds to be nervous. And the
person who set up the gun, should be on the chopping
block too.

Wasn’t the revolver a single action Army Colt replica? To fire that weapon required cocking the hammer THEN pulling the trigger.

Do you have links to all that

First I’ve heard some that

If true that lends criminality I admit

[Blood of Tyrants]

Negligent homicide at least.

[When do we get liberated?]

Im sure if I shoot a coworker I recently had an arguement with, I wont even be prosecuted, because it was a mistake.

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.
