Someone brought a real and loaded gun to a movie set, it somehow got mixed in with the props, the handler didn't check it properly before it was handed to Alec, and he pointed it at the head of someone who is not in the movie, and pulled the trigger. Mistakes were made. No big deal.

There's nothing to see here. However, the evil neo-nazi KKK white supremacists from the horrific Charlottesville riot go on trial tomorrow.

I have taken many gun safety courses. I am perfectly aware of his liability. However, he will never be convicted. Not because of his status, but because of these simple facts; As an actor; How many times during the coarse of filming do you think a led actor fires a gun? In some movies its hundreds or even thousands of times. He was responsible for checking his gun every single time that is true UNLESS the production hires someone else to perform that duty for him which they had. When he was handed the gun he was told by his assistant directed the gun was "cold" meaning loaded with blanks. That alleviated his liability was a performer. Now for this scene which requires the gun to be pointed directly at the camera it should have been double and triple checked, but how many times had they filmed that scene? How many takes? Also, it is possible he was set up. There are stranger things in Hollywood. The weapons master's father was a known Satanist. We don't really know what happened.

As a producer, he is protected by the limited liability of the executive. They would have to prove extreme negligence to pierce the corporate veil. They can't do that here unless he was the one who directly hired the weapons master. Even then it would be tough.

However, the production will have to pay for the civil liability to the tune of tens of millions, but insurance will likely cover that.
