Glad he got off. I always thought it was bullshit that anyone would try to hold him accountable. The weapons expert, yes. The actor who was told the prop was safe, hell no.
Yes and no. The circumstances surrounding the death were… Not great. Evidence of Baldwin playing with the weapon, pretending to fire it, aiming it at cast and crew, etc… Plus there’s the whole “they were filming during a strike, and Baldwin (who was also the executive producer) went out of his way to hire an unqualified scab as a weapons master” part of things too.

The armouror was a scab? That’s the first I’m hearing of that. Do you have a link?
Exactly this. There are a few reasons to hold him accountable. Plus she DIED, she wasn’t just injured.
That last bit is pretty damning. I hadn’t heard that. Changes my thinking about his culpability.
