Replacement worker was in charge of Alec Baldwin's deadly prop gun

That's probably true. I imagine this may end up with a lot of controversy and TV time just like in the OJ trial. I agree about pointing ANY gun at a person, especially when it was just like a walkthrough practice. Mr. Baldwin did what lawyers never want their clients to do - run their mouths about the situation.
......One thing that I wonder about is why is it NOT POSSIBLE to produce a gun barrel that would let fire and smoke out of the front for realism while still stopping or, at least, seriously slowing down the velocity of a lead bullet if one was mistakenly put into the gun. it would seem difficult to do, but NOT impossible.
