New Mexico prosecutors on Tuesday said they intended to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
Morrissey said if new testing of the gun showed it was working, she would recharge Baldwin.
He’s not criminally responsible as the person that was holding the gun. There is a huge argument for him being responsible as one of the producers that was cutting corners on production costs.
this is the correct take. there should be no expectation of actors to be responsible for their own safety around guns on set. That is literally the job of the armorer (who should be responsible), and depending on how negligent Baldwin was as the director for hiring her, Baldwin could also hold responsibility.
Imagine if an actor was performing a stunt and the rope snapped and they died.
Would people be talking about how he didn’t practice correct rope safety?
