  1. Even if he was only an actor, he should be held responsible for his reckless conduct.

  2. Halls did that, assuming the revolver was "cold.". It was his responsibility to prove the firearm safe to Baldwin, and Baldwin's responsibility to have it proven safe.

  3. Ok, so to whom are you referring? Baldwin hasn't been tried.

  4. She didn't shoot anybody and wasn't even there. Doing a job poorly is a reason to be dismissed, not prosecuted. Someone else, Assistant Director Halls, was acting in place of the armorer in handing the revolver to Baldwin. He pleaded to a misdemeanor.

  5. Whether or not it was an “accident” does not answer the question whether it was criminal.

  6. You must mean "unloaded."

  7. There is no exception in the law for actors.

  8. In fact, Actor’s Guild policy states that actors are responsible for safety, along with everyone else. from the SAG Safety Bulletins: “As an actor you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and the safety of your fellow cast members. Production management and crew are responsible for creating and maintaining safe conditions, but it is your right and responsibility to double check the set up to ensure your own safety.” But even apart from SAG rules, if state law defines certain conduct as criminal, mere work rules cannot negate law.

  9. She wasn’t even there. She is being made a scapegoat.

  10. Are you referring to the case of the BART officer who got them mixed up in a stressful situation? He was convicted, but not of murder.

  11. That was a freak accident. The “Rust” shooting was not. It was reckless handling of firearms.

  12. The “I didn’t know it was loaded” defense doesn’t work for me. I was taught to treat every firearm as though it were loaded.

  13. They did not have a camera rolling. The victim was setting up the camera when she was killed.
