No one dies on a movie set unless someone made a mistake, so lawyers on both sides will be pointed the finger.
The prosecution will argue that if Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had done her job properly, she would have noticed that there was a live bullet, not a dummy bullet, going into the gun.
This mistake, they will say, was negligent and reckless.
The defense will argue that there was a high chain of command on set and that others are responsible for the shooting.
Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger, the safety coordinator didn’t give him enough preparation time, and a gunsmith should never have more than one job (his job was part gunsmith and part prop assistant for budgetary reasons).
Therefore, they will say that she was not reckless and that it was the production company that was reckless and that Hannah takes responsibility.
But if the prosecution can prove that Gutierrez Reed actually brought live ammunition, then it will be very difficult for the defense to prove his innocence – because it was his job to distinguish between lives, dummies and blanks.
