    Baldwin is guilty of putting trust in the people around him doing their jobs correctly.

    Wasn’t he a producer for this movie? I think one of the arguments against him was that he had some responsibility over the filming including safety. If there is a safety incident, he’s somewhat responsible.

    I’m of 2 minds about this. On one hand, I think he’s not at fault, the armorer is. As long as he hired a qualified armorer with a good safety record, what more could he have done? On the other hand, if we hold the higher ups more responsible for safety issues, they will put in place better safety controls to reduce risk.

      I think that argument gets made by people who don’t really know what producers do. It could be anything from managing the people on set to putting their name on it for cred. I’m this car, Baldwin was partially responsible for the story.
