The ruling increases the likelihood that Mr. Baldwin will stand trial this summer in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust.”
That doesn’t answer anything. Producer is a title that encompasses a lot of different things, what were his actual duties and responsibilities as a producer? That’s what actually matters here, that he has a producer title on the movie and helped pay the bills doesn’t mean he had any involvement in hiring or supervising the two people so far found legally culpable.
I thought the same, and it’s definitely a witch hunt from the right, HOWEVER I also did some lookups and it sounds like he was basically running this movie. Even the director was taking orders from him, and the lax safety standards are pretty much directly because he ordered them to ignore them. So the witch hunt is stupid, but he does deserve punishment for his negligence.
The term witch hunt came to be used because magical witches don’t actually exist.
But the criminally unsafe working conditions that lead to a woman’s death the set of Rust did exist and Alec Baldwin was in charge of, or at least responsible for them, in his role as producer and partner in the production company.
The other type of witch hunt is basically malicious harassment or persecution for being different in some way (political, religious, etc.)
His patterns of behaviors, direct actions, and personal role in setting the working conditions of the set directly resulted in a woman’s death, and that’s before even taking into account that he pulled the trigger.
For anyone to claim that despite all of that, he’s actually being persecuted for his personal views or political leanings, is disingenuous at best.
I call it witch-hunt because at the beginning conservatives were just going after him because he played Donald Trump on SNL and they wanted to see him behind bars. It wasn’t until after that that it came to light that he actually had a big say in the safety of the show.
So, I hold to that there are two things currently going on. Conservatives are just happy he’s being prosecuted for anything, and then other people who are glad he’s standing trial for being negligent.
Just because he was the lead actor, producer, partner in the production company, and gave orders to the cast and crew, doesn’t mean he has any responsibility for what happens on set

Sorry for interrupting the witch hunt with questions. I’ve not seen that and no one ever points to any actual evidence.
