My understanding was that the order of events was what the problem was. I thought it was -
There was a safety issue on set, Baldwin fired that person/team and brought in his own, which resulted in multiple other safety infractions - why the actor was actually down shot from a prop gun (usually it’s staged to prevent that), why a weapon was loaded with live ammo. And with the first safety team being removed seems to be Baldwin decision.
Note: I’m not certain that this is how it went down, it’s just my memory of the reporting.
IIRC the armorer responsible for the weapons management was extremely negligent (facing charges of her own), and that is part of what the other crew raised issues with re:safety.
IMO if the producer (Baldwin) ignored those specific warnings, he should be held partly responsible. This gets confounded further since he also fired the gun.
and maybe that’s the new evidence they have. Not judging myself until I hear the new evidence personally, but so far I haven’t heard anything completely damning twoards him

Why is there live ammo anywhere near set.
