Quentin Tarantino claims Alec Baldwin was responsible to 'some degree' for gun in fatal 'Rust' shooting


Baldwin's lawyer argued gun safety was not Baldwin's responsibility in his opening statements at trial.

"The actor’s job is to act," he told the jury. "He’s Harland Rust. He’s an outlaw running for his life, who in the incident in question, he’s pulling a six-shooter to try to defend himself. That’s why the gun has to be safe before it gets into the actor’s hands."

"His mind is somewhere else: in the being of another, a century away, an outlaw."

Bullpuckey!!!! Tarantino shame on you!

The TRUTH is Baldwin was the PRODUCER of Rust and is ultimately responsible for everything. His DUTY was to ensure safety, among other things.

To take just a few seconds to ensure the gun had blank rounds and not actual real ammo was a fatal mistake that baldwin needs to admit to and take responsibility for. Too dang arrogant!

So disingenuous, so Hollywood-ish typical behavior to always blame someone else and never take responsibility and ownership.

SHAME on you tarantino!!

The only thing missing is his own "If I did it", then he'd be this decade's OJ

The way I read this, it's not necessarily over. Can any lawyer folk comment?

A prosecutor asks for charges to be reinstated against Alec Baldwin in the 'Rust' case
