You haven’t heard all the evidence. You should think - if I were in that jury I will have an open mind and decide after hearing all the facts. It doesn’t matter that he is famous. He shot and killed someone. Whether he should be held accountable remains to be seen. [/quote]

He was handed a gun by the weapons handler that was not supposed to have live ammunition. By what logic is he responsible for killing Hutchins, regardless of whether he pulled the trigger? DA is trying to make a name for herself. [/quote]

It's basic firearms safety.  You check a gun as soon as it is handed to you.  This is true in any industry or even the military. Why would the film industry get a pass on firearms safety? If they dont want to use guns safely, they shouldnt use guns. [/quote]

Wrong. On film sets, the only one allowed to handle the gun, i.e., checking ammunition etc., is the armorer. It is literally his/her job because of liability. It would be like blaming an actor  for not doing a safety check on a car brakes failing while he was driving and killing his passenger.  That is not the actor's job or responsibility.

Special effects, explosives, guns, fire suits, cars...all of this is supposed to be handled and checked by the experts on the set...not the actors. [/quote]

Again, Alec was not just an actor here. He was the main producer.[/quote]

What do you think producers do? They secure funding. They do not oversee the set and most producers never set foot on a set. That film probably has like a dozen producers. Why is the the only one responsible>[/quote]

You are describing the role of an executive producer.  The term "producer" is like "program manager" in that it can mean a lot of things. But the set IS overseen by one or several producers, who have final approval on every aspect of production, from script to casting to set choices.  [/quote]

But if they were charging him in his role as a producer, they would have charged the other producers. [/quote]

Unless he was the producer responsible for that aspect of the production.

This isnt that hard. [/quote]
