That is what makes me wonder why the director was not charged too, they have power on the set.
Some people have responsibility. Baldwin seems likely to be one,he pulled the trigger. But it seems his defense has a lot of others to point to.

There are some people on movie sets who operate independently of the director. I'd bet armorer is one of them. Just a wild guess on my part, but it would make sense.
I suspect that is true, for good reasons. But if the director felt something was off I suspect they can stop filming. Having live ammo on a set is that bad.
Honestly, anyone that brought live ammo to the set should be part of any civil suit.
That's a really good point. Originally, they said they were looking at four people. Obviously, Baldwin, the armorer, and the assistant director were three. I wonder if the director was the fourth, and why they declined to charge him.
If I heard correctly, he was a member of a shooting club when he was younger. I was walking into the room and may not have all the context of the comment though.
Don't they use live ammo for some scenes? Like scenes where windows get shot out or shooting at bottle, building etc ?
I can't imagine it isn't done with tricks, but maybe they do. The armorer I heard suggested "live ammo and blanks shouldn't be in the same area code".
But it might be they sometimes use live. If so there has to be crazy tough rules.
Frankly, green plastic weapons and cgi seems to solve everything.

Enough to go to jail though? I think this prosecutor is doing this for reasons other than justice.
Possible. Prosecutors do that all the time. It's not a secret that virtually every prosecutor dreams of higher office.
I think you are right. A 4th degree felony under the circumstances. Come on
Someone just suggested the charging is to get a plea bargain, pretty much any plea.
That's what i said would happen. Silly. Some good crim lawyer would broker a Misd plea
Sorry, should have clarified that. She's saying they found mixed rounds in other places too.
Shame that Alec B gets off, but to call the Jan 6 thugs "people who sneezed at the Capitol" is just bottom-of-the-barrel, MTG/DANC/Mas level stupid.
I think some groups may be getting out over their skis. The prosecutor has not commented on what this means but did use the word "temporary". It may be other charges will be filed instead. Or maybe not. There is nothing wrong with waiting for facts.
You still love me after having me on ignore so long!
Can't wait for the book to come out. Going to be a lot of red faces out there.
The prosecutor dropped the Alex Baldwin charges because the defense brought forth evidence that indicated the gun’s trigger mechanism was modified, so the gun could be discharged accidentally, as a result. I guess it was convincing enough to drop the charges. It makes his alibi plausible that he never pulled the trigger, however, what would be the purpose of that modification?
The entire case has been a shitshow.
