Yes and no. The circumstances surrounding the death were… Not great. Evidence of Baldwin playing with the weapon, pretending to fire it, aiming it at cast and crew, etc… Plus there’s the whole “they were filming during a strike, and Baldwin (who was also the executive producer) went out of his way to hire an unqualified scab as a weapons master” part of things too.
I don’t think that’s accurate but I think the set did have scabs as it was during strike and there was coverage back then of this.
Armorer was under qualified and over work, which is normal for sets but does make you wonder how much that impacted her performance. There were also reports of understanding but that’s just business 101 nowadays.

The armouror was a scab? That’s the first I’m hearing of that. Do you have a link?

Exactly this. There are a few reasons to hold him accountable. Plus she DIED, she wasn’t just injured.
That last bit is pretty damning. I hadn’t heard that. Changes my thinking about his culpability.
