    He says that Baldwin is unlikely charged for firing the gun but more likely for being a producer who failed to ensure that the set is safe.

    The thing is that he right now is being charged for firing the gun not for falling as a producer, that’s why it seems pretty weird like they are really trying to sack him for some reason.

      Yes, but isn’t the logic that since he was producer, he was also responsible for managing the prop manager who should have made sure the gun was safe before handing it to him?

      So yeah, he was beneath the person responsible for gun safety, but also above that person and therefore ultimately responsible for ensuring that safety?

      It’s a bit weird, but that would make sense.

      When you fire a gun, and it hits someone, you can’t be that surprised when you are charged with that.

        You absolutely can if you have every reason to believe it’s not firing a live round, like say, on a film set, where all weapons are supposed to be cleared with armorers/prop masters.
