    The issue isn’t that Baldwin held the gun, it’s that he was the producer of the entire production.

      True. But that’s not how he was being charged. He was being charged because he was the actor firing the weapon. There is a difference.

      If he was not a producer would we be talking about him being charged at all in this case?

      If the issue is him being a producer, why aren’t all the other producers being charged for the same crime? What was different about Baldwin? If the issue isn’t that he fired the weapon.

      And ultimately none of that mattered, because the issue that got the case dismissed was gross misconduct by the prosecutor.

        Which is almost justice.

        Real justice would be the prosecutor facing charges for misconduct.
