I agree with this. If anything, I think Baldwin's exposure is as a producer. Not so sure he's liable for the hiring of the armorer or assistant director. He may have had nothing to do with those hires. The incompetence of the armorer was known, but I don't know if the
Rust producers were aware of it.
Prosecutors will have to overcome significant challenges, including not knowing how live rounds got on set and experts’ varying opinions about the on-set responsibilities of actors and crew members, said CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig.
“Remember, this is a criminal case. You need all 12 jurors to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. So I’m not saying that there’s no chance here, but this is a really difficult case for the prosecution,” Honig said.

It's interesting that as part of the settlement, Hutchins' husband was to be a producer when the project resumed. That seems fishy.
