So, after multiple unintended discharges on the set of Rust, is the reasonable man standard going to apply to a jury?
I would argue that, no, it doesn't. A reasonable person wouldn't blindly trust the people's that screwed up twice already, because a REASONABLE MAN would realize industry protocols were obviously not being adhered to on the set.
A reasonable man would have never hired that idiot.
A reasonable man would have fired and replaced her.
A reasonable man would have never accepted a gun to use in a scene from and asst director.
But we all know Baldwin is an idiot too. He was shooting a low budget film, and sidestepped or ignored protocol. Probably because he was using his own money to finance the film, and chose the cheap way out.
So, after all his failures...
You trust him to check and clear his own gun?
Or should there have been a qualified armorer on the set?
