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.
The staff was shooting the prop gun. That’s how live ammo ended up in that gun.
But like… How the fuck was that something that was allowed. I think that is the question.
I see Alec responsible as a producer, not as an actor. He should be no more or less responsible than any other producer involved UNLESS his role somehow was more related to guns/safety than other producers.
There’s an armorer who was completely derelict in her duties. She’s been charged with involuntary manslaughter. It was specifically her job not to let this happen.

“C’moooon, it’ll be fiiiiiiine, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Had the script called for him to shoot himself, he would have checked the firearm.
