Well this bodes well for any sort of consequences that might deter people across the industry from gross negligence of the sort that got a woman killed. Oh wait, it's the opposite where the people put on the case charged him with laws that didn't exist when he shot her and dropped the charge while literally saying he might sue them over their stupidity.

It was dumb enough that I wouldn't be surprised if everyone involved had a briefcase of cash shoved into the back of their freezers.

This miscarriage of justice would be hilarious if a woman hadn't died. What an absolute farce, I hope people never let Baldwin forget that his negligence killed her, as long as he lives.

No mention of who is taking over as armorer. Though given their promise that "it will bar any use of working weapons and any form of ammunition" an armorer may not be necessary.

I can get the dismissal of charges in his role as an actor if we assume there's a frictionless sphere that is a competent armorer, but even in a world where the armorer is negligent Baldwin should still be held responsible in his role as a producer if the armorer had a known history of negligence

Welcome to entertainment, where the common practice is to create a shell company during production that you abandon afterwards, to dump liability on and move on. It's not uncommon that they welch on debts near the end of production as well and leave it as 'good luck coming after us' because welp

I don't think Alec was producer in the traditional sense. He was hired as an actor and was named producer because he got a cut of the profits. He wasn't the one running things.

They should just rule that Alec Baldwin if he ever has to hold a weapon again personally or for filming, the most he can hold is a banana.

Gutierrez Reed was likely hungover when she loaded a prop gun used by actor Alec Baldwin that fired a live round of ammunition during a rehearsal, prosecutors alleged in a prior court filing CNN reported on last week.

Witnesses told investigators Gutierrez Reed “was drinking heavily and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the shooting of Rust,” the filing from prosecutors said.

Man what a bunch of loving narcs.
