There are plenty of prohibitions on ever pointing a gun at someone, I understand that. And he can still be held liable for civil damages.
But I still wouldn't hold him criminally negligent for the direct shooting although I can understand why some might. But to the extent that I have followed the case, it sounds like the production was cutting corners on safety to the point crew members were quitting before the accidental shooting happened. Maybe there wasn't any clear law to charge him with, but Baldwin seemed like he could have been criminally mismanaging the safety of the production.

It'd be like pressing criminal charges against the Boeing CEO for their manufacturing issues. Is he theoretically responsible? Yes. Is it enough for criminal liability? Nah. |

There is a huge group of producers on a film production, even a relatively small film like Rust.
They didn't seek any of the other producers to blame. They aren't famous so why would they |

Imagine if it was a stunt gone wrong. Say they needed Baldwin to be driving a car and couldn’t use a stunt driver because they needed the actor for closeups, and they have a camera operator in the car. But the stunt goes wrong, maybe a safety harness is compromised or something mechanical with the car leading to death or injury of either the operator, actor or someone on set. All Baldwin was doing was driving the car as he was supposed to be doing. Again, not his fault. Does that make sense? |

I've seen plenty of movies where it appears the actor is shooting a gun directly at the camera - and presumably the crew members behind the camera. Baldwin is far from the first actor to be in this physical position of shooting towards someone. There should be established trade protocols for this activity. It isn't be the actors responsibility. The actor is doing what the director instructs. The person who brought live bullets on set is responsible, followed possibly by whomever hired the imbecile.

What I wonder is if Baldwin's the one pushing to get the job done and corner's were cut because of it. It's no secret that these shoots often push the line due to constraints on time and money. He's a very influential guy. Not known for being the nicest fella' in the world either. Who was driving this shoot? Who's decisions led to this person's death? It'll be interesting to find out...
