Alec Baldwin

[rothschild]

I think it was late last Fall when I read that the dead woman's husband had settled with Alec and part of that settlement was that he be allowed to join the film they had been shooting when she was killed. Filming has now resumed. Alec was the only one who had his charges dropped, the armorer still faces her charges and that's as it should be, she had one goddamn job to do and she failed on an epic scale.

Baldwin's failure was just as spectacular because he knew exactly how it was supposed to be done, and said or did nothing. He's the boss and is just as culpable as the armorer; more so, in fact, because said armorer had instructed him in all the safety protocols, which he failed to comply with. If she'd failed to give him those instructions it would be entirely on her, but that wasn't the case.

Bottom line: the armorer wasn't on set, and nothing was supposed to happen without her there. Baldwin knew that, as did the person that handed the gun to him.
