How?!?!

Can any attorneys weigh in on what personal liability Alec might face?

Do you mean the director?  Or the executive producer?  [/quote]

I mean Alec.  Could he face any civil or criminal liability?[/quote]

It doesn't matter if he could or should. Either way, he won't. [/quote]

Of course it matters.

But given what we know right now, there's no legal or moral liability.  [/quote]

I meant it doesn't matter because he's Alec Baldwin and there will be no repercussions for him even if there should be. [/quote]

He did point a gun at people and press the trigger. That doesn't make him a murderer. But it's also very reckless so that's why I'm asking if he could face any legal consequences.  It's like running a stoplight and killing someone. You just meant to get somewhere faster, but someone died as a result. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be charged, I'm asking if any attorneys think there may be legal issues for him down the road. [/quote]

Wait.  They weren't filming a scene?  He was just randomly handling the gun with it pointing at other people?  That's a completely different story.  (DP)[/quote]

I read that they were not shooting a scene. They were rehearsing and discussing a scene. He said something like "you mean like this" and pointed it at them and fired. That's just what I've read, obviously the cops have all the facts. [/quote]

Thanks.

I can only say "wow."  Any idiot knows you never point a gun at another person.  If that is what he did then he deserves the consequences of a charge like negligent homicide or similar (if it was truly unintentional).[/quote]

If you say so.[/quote]

You're doubting that a person should never point a gun at another person?  Really?  Huh.  Well it sounds like you could go get a new job working for this Rust group.  I bet they would loooooove to have you on set.[/quote]

Couple questions:

1. Have you ever watched a movie of tv show where you perceived the gun as being pointed at you? From the point of view of the “victim”? How do you think they got that shot?

2. Do you think there are no cast or crew members standing around in a variety of places of camera when a scene with a gun is being filmed?[/quote]

1) I think the camera is in front of the actor with the weapon and the person manning the camera is to the side of it. I don't think that movie sets are the one place in the world exempt from workplace safety standards.

2) of course they are around.  They just aren't directly in front of a weapon. [/quote]

You've got it all figured out.

End thread.[/quote]
