You know what sucks about being a Baldwin?

Getting jailed for involuntary manslaughter.

You look at 'em and there's definitely an obvious difference between a real bullet and a blank.

Differences between real bullets and dummies too.

There are several kinds of 'fake' bullets you might use for various situations. All with clear differences.

If anyone had checked the mistake would have been caught. Nobody bothered to take 10 seconds to check.

I think for movies they sometimes use a blank cartridge with the bullet, so that it looks normal whenever they're on camera.

Charges have now been formally filed

There shouldn't have been live rounds in the gun or on set at all. Seems pretty wild to try to pin it on Baldwin for not paying enough attention during a CYA training.

he's one of the film's producers which means he's responsible for a set with such negligent conditions

but we'll see if a jury agrees

Movies have like dozens of producers so that's pretty questionable if he had any significant influence there.

There's a recent episode of Opening Arguments addressing the legal issues I just came across: https://openargs.com/oa685-the-alec-baldwin-charges/
