Fault of the holder. You fire a gun you should know whats in the chamber.

Or you are on a movie set….a western no less handed a prop from the weapons master……it was a tragic accident on Baldwins part it’s the prop master who is culpable.you would be an idiot to point a gun at your temple even if YOU checked it yourself or pointed it at another…unless it was part of the movie being produced.it was an unfortunate accident no more no less a tragedy 

Why are you making excuses? No excuse. You shoot someone it's your fault.

Did he know it was "loaded" with real ammo, or was it a film prop weapon with a paid safety minder present....?   🤔

Of course not.  That is why he is only being tried for involuntary manslaughter, which is still a ridiculous charge imo.  It was the person that gave him the weapon that was 100% to blame, not him.
