It's on Baldwin too, because as producer he's the one who hired her, as incompetent as she was.


This is why he's screwed. Not because actors who are handed weapons in a declared condition by the set staff are responsible for following the 4 rules while shooting people on camera.

Why it was pointed at the people he shot, and what he allegedly said per set witnesses immediately before they were shot, well, that's a different discussion......
