Damn. No one cares that it's wildly irresponsible to give a 24 year old with no experience a job of this magnitude and responsibility?

I don't think it's a patsy when the person who was criminally negligent is held accountable.

Your honor, when I took on 'Rust,' I was young and naive. But I took my job as seriously as I knew how to,"
Why say this?
Because sometimes it works.
Because she is still young and naive.
And she took the court proceedings as seriously as she knew how to?

Hire scabs, get scabs results.
Nobody seems to be blaming the producer of the movie for hiring these people. The producer is also the man who shot the gun
Last time I saw a discussion on this, someone said it's been literally over 100 years since the last time someone died on set from a live gun being fired. There are so many rules and regulations in place I can understand why a producer would assume things are just automatically going to be fine no matter what.
Granted, that's the kind of "taking things for granted" attitude that leads to counties repealing fluoride requirements for municipal water. People get so accustomed to things working well that they forget it takes work to keep it working.

The producer is rich and famous.
If I hire an accountant to do my taxes, and the IRS comes after me for not having done them correctly, I would expect the accountant to be at fault.
Fault can be shared. If you hire a bad accountant and they did your taxes wrong, you still hired them and it is your taxes. The accountant may be at fault but you can be too.
That's why both of your signatures are usually on the paperwork.
Plus they ARE going after Baldwin, not sure where it's at right now but they definitely are.
Think his trial is scheduled for a few months from now

This wasn't a scab hire, it was a nepotism hire.
50:30 in case anyone just wants the sentencing part, but the lead up is more rewarding. She doesn't react much to the sentence itself.

I can empathize that this sucks to go through because I haven't read anything to suggest she had murderous intent, but even accidents have consequences. There have to be penalties for setting up dangerous conditions to make sure that happens as rarely as possible. It's why charges like "involuntary manslaughter" exist.
....
It's "an accident" in the same way getting shit faced and going for a cross country drive and wrecking is "an accident".
She violated pretty much every safety regulation, and I believe was even getting drunk and shooting the prop guns on set with live bullets. She was definitely shooting them on set, I just don't know if they proved she was doing it while drunk.
A drunk driver doesn't mean to kill anyone either. But most don't say it was just an accident and try to emphasize with the irresponsible sociopath who got someone killed because they thought they knew more than the law.
While this was technically an accident, I put it in the same league as driving drunk and killing someone. It was preventable by doing the bare minimum of what her job responsibilities were.
I agree and that's why I finished by saying even these situations, where there's no intent, have to be prosecuted and punished. While I empathize with making mistakes (having made my own albeit none nearly so serious) I still think there's a good reason she's headed to prison.
