Layers of legal defense:
1). It was entirely the armorer's fault. The individual actor had no voluntary control over the real weapon used while in his possession. He wasn't allowed to even check if it was loaded. Hollywood laws supercede local, state, and federal laws.
2). The safety conditions were actually created by the union workers who had walked off the job in protest earlier that day. That includes the job of the armorer whom he personally selected, hired, and supervised as the Producer.
3). The weapon accidentally discharged itself. (even though internet rumor sez he shouted in anger at the DP just before firing in her direction) He never realized the weapon had fired in his hands until told by police an hour later. He thought she just fainted.
