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]
False analogy--an actor is NOT a soldier, a gun owner, an expeditioner, a hunting guide, a firearms instructor etc. he is an actor and they pay people to check these guns before handing them to the actor.
They do not want unqualified people opening weapons, or worse, crazy actors opening them and replacing dummy ammo with live ammo.

I think the trial, if there is one, will call your beliefs about firearms procedures on film sets into doubt. Here, let George Clooney tell you:

“Every single time I’m handed a gun on the set — every time — they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I’m pointing it too, I show it to the crew,” Clooney said. “Every single take.” Then, “You hand it back to the armor when you’re done.” He said. Part of it is because of what happened to Brandon. Everyone does it. Everyone knows” that is the protocol to follow. “Maybe Alec did that — hopefully he did do that."

I think this is the crux of the case.  I’ve heard very different things about what is the standard in the industry.  I’d assume both sides will have experts, if this ever goes to trial.  I said up thread and I’ll say it again that it seems like the AD got a great deal — he’s the one that took the gun when the armorer was nowhere on sight and told everyone it was unloaded.  He seems more responsible to me than Baldwin.  And of course whatever idiot brought love rojnds onto set and whoever failed to secure the guns and dummy rounds (which sounds like the armorer).
