Understand how he was being charged. Guy was not responsible for loading or checking the gun. They literally hire someone who's job it is to guarantee the gun is safe and only loaded with blanks. He's probably done dozens of movies/shows where he "shot" someone. And there was never any reason to think the gun used specifically for pretend on a movie set would suddenly have a live bullet. Like, if they are shooting a scene where he pushes someone in a pool... And he pushes someone in the pool but the pool happened to be filled with acid that day for some inexplicable reason.... Is he to blame?

It should be simple. If the gun is in your hand, then you have to be -- IB4TECH Jul 13, 2024 at 10:14 PM ET

Why was it in his hand? Part of a rehearsed scene? I forget.** -- TomTurkey Jul 13, 2024 at 11:03 PM ET

I feel like that has been disputed. I've heard he was practicing a scene or -- AbsolutVT03 Jul 13, 2024 at 11:12 PM ET

i wonder if there was any dispute between him and the lady he killed ? -- bigbadbird Jul 14, 2024 at 07:50 AM ET

Does that include people making movies? -- HokieGator Jul 13, 2024 at 10:27 PM ET

Yep, not all actors are gun owners** -- HokieForever Jul 14, 2024 at 07:38 PM ET

This was my take too. Yes in everyday life you don't point guns at people -- AbsolutVT03 Jul 13, 2024 at 10:55 PM ET

AbsolutVT03 • 07/13/24 10:55 PM ET

I believe that at that range, a blank could have done some serious damage.** -- IB4TECH Jul 14, 2024 at 08:55 AM ET

I agree with Gator. He really had no reason to check.** -- WestEndHokie39 Jul 13, 2024 at 09:56 PM ET

Was he a producer on this film? If so, is that the reason for the trial? -- MP4VT2004 Jul 13, 2024 at 09:59 PM ET
