[Boston-Sean]

Last night there was a 2 hour network show (20/20??) on the Rust movie shooting. It included a lot of reporting about a camera operator who was killed 7 years ago in Georgia when she was hit by a train while filming a movie. The director in that case spent 2 years in jail.

The reason I say that Baldwin won't be charged is what the DA had to say on the show last night. Multiple times she said her investigation was focused on who put the live round in the gun. Nothing to say about Baldwins claim that he didn't pull the trigger.

If she was asked about that it got edited out but I suspect they didn't even bother to ask her about Baldwin. In a 2 hour show there was less than 1 minute where a firearms expert discussed what Baldwin claimed happened. His conclusion after demonstrating how a single action revolver works was that in theory it was possible for Baldwin to be correct but that it would take a seriously defective firearm. A properly functioning gun could not go off the way Baldwin described. They are specifically designed not to go off like that.

So Baldwin has the media and the DA looking out for him. He walks.
