I can imagine that the negligence might come about from how the set was being run, and as the producer some of that falls on Baldwin. It has been a long time since I read anything about this, but IIRC there was something funky with how the guns were being handled due to covid restrictions, in that the armourer was not actually on set and they were just left on a cart outside instead for the AD to hand off. This is also where he could be liable for negligence as an actor, as in why is he trusting the AD to tell him whether a gun is live and not the armourer? Due to his double role as actor and produced there are many different ways that they could be coming at him with all of this.

I am surprise that the guy who made the ammo has not gotten in any trouble. That was made by someone else and not Reed, and the police found something like 5 real live rounds mixed in with the dummies on set so it sounds like the guy who was reloading contaminated some of his dummies with lives.

I think it's safe to say Baldwin will get off with a slap to the wrist because he's rich and famous and his ilk are held to different legal standards than us, while all the blame will fall on Gutierrez-Reed.

Meanwhile: Not sure how many people heard, but the 30th anniversary of Brandon Lee's death came and went last month. (And since he died at age 28, that means he's now been dead for longer than he was alive.) His sister made a comment for a CNN piece memorializing him that she doesn't understand why real guns are still used on movie sets, either.

He'll still be on the hook for any civil lawsuits, either personal or related to the production, as he is a producer.

If the armorer admitted to loading a live round, and there's evidence that the gun was modified, then no, it's not right to charge him.

Latest development in the case - there’s apparently now evidence that Hannah Reed was a substance abuser:

If this is true, I wonder if she’ll be in the same situation as Hunter Biden, since she would be legally prohibited from owning guns, let alone being responsible for them on a movie set? (Except that in her case, her dad is not POTUS.)
