They are going to try to blame the gun for “going off” while he “innocently” pulled the hammer back, then “innocently” tried to lower it.
That is going to be his defense. The dangerous gun design did it. They hope to bamboozle a jury of non-shooters with BS. It might work.
See my above images and photos from “Ride with the Devil,” where 100s of SA revolvers are fired with no actors killed.

While the gun “innocently” pointed itself at someone.
A nice movie....very era accurate filmed and settings looked so realistic
Aside from Jewels boobs
Rhys Meyers stole the show ....his portrayal of Pitt Mackeson was perfect
Especially the last scene
Pity it lost a ton especially at box office
The irony is that the "Rust" is about a man who accidently kills someone.
AND Baldwin himself co wrote the script....and probably picked out the weapons.
His father taught riflery...I'm betting daddy taught him how guns worked very early on...AND I'm betting daddy had a large gun collection.
The thing is, SA revolvers don’t have a decocking mechanism. He would have had to pull the hammer back with is finger on the trigger to lower it.
He has stated he never pulled the trigger.
Hmmm.
I suspect that Baldwin and the on set armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, and her father, long-time film industry armorer, Thell Reed, intend to direct blame to the supplier of the prop guns, Seth Kenney — who happens to be my cousin.
