re: Baldwin charged again

They specifically told him it was a harmless prop not a loaded weapon. There were two people, the armorer and assistant director, who were supposed to make sure there was no chance the gun could fire a live round.

Link to this?

Baldwin continually claims he didn’t pull the trigger, why would he be worried if there was a live round if he didn’t pull the trigger? Why would he state it was cleared, if he didn’t pull the trigger?

From all accounts I’ve seen, the gun was never cleared.

From a People article:

According to a statement of probable cause filed in the First Judicial Court in New Mexico, Baldwin didn’t receive required firearms training; did not ask Gutierrez-Reed to show him that the gun contained no live rounds; ignored safety complaints from crew members; and put his finger “on the trigger of a real firearm when a replica or rubber gun should have been used.”
