Actor Daniel Baldwin believes his brother is a famous 'target' but that investigation of the 'Rust' shooting should 'exonerate Alec of any responsibility.'
Legal experts weigh in on whether crew and producers of “Rust” could face civil or criminal liability in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
“It’s really, really apparent that Alec has no blame in this at all,” Daniel said. He explained that it’s the armorer’s responsibility to ensure that the set weapons are safe and the assistant director’s duty to ensure that the gun handed to the actor is indeed “cold,” meaning there is no live ammunition in it.
“Remember: The actor’s an idiot,” Daniel said. “They’re there to do the acting. A number of protocols that have been made known to the public and known in this case exonerate Alec of any responsibility at all.”Model Ireland Baldwin called out pundit Candace Owens over her “tweets, lack of information and ignorance“ about the “Rust” shooting involving dad Alec Baldwin.
The incident has also affected the way Daniel, who has several projects that involve the use of prop guns, will handle weapons in the future to avoid similar tragedies. “I, myself, from this will — as a protective layer at the end — insist that the weapon is open and I see every round in the gun,” he told Nati, a celebrity publicist. “I would never take a gun from someone after realizing that these people are human.”
