For all of you running to support Alec Baldwin, listen to this

Better if he did time for it. Unless of course nobody in New Mexico has been prosecuted for killing someone with a gun they thought was empty. That should be the standard, he should face the same penalty as anyone else.
More Conservative fantasy

Baldwin will not be criminally responsible
The woman in charge of the guns and the Assistant Director who declared the gun cold probably will.

As the Producer, Baldwin could be liable in a civil suit holding him overall responsible for what goes on in his production

Indeed, expecting liberal elites to be judged by the same standards as everyone else is a fantasy. All because idiots like you support and defend the two tiered justice system for your heroes. Hollywood is not above the law. I can only hope that New Mexico hasn't been corrupted too much to understand that. Baldwin pulled the trigger, he is responsible.

I couldn’t see any actor, Liberal or Conservative who would be criminally liable for following the procedures on the set

But Baldwin makes fun of Trump so Conservatives want him criminally prosecuted

^^^This is why cities run by leftists are violent slaughterhouses. Absolutely no responsibility for the person who pulled the trigger.

Hollywood 'procedures' do not supercede black letter law. That's the dumbest thing I've heard yet. I want equality under the law, you folks want immunity for your elites.

Afraid they will

There were two people on set responsible for verifying the gun was safe. Baldwin was not one of them
 
The person who pulls the trigger is actually the only one responsible. The rest is precautions.
You keep saying that
But no way is it happening

You need to get over your hatred of Baldwin and enter the real world

Only you folks are caught up on this being about Baldwin. This is about responsible handling of firearms and how excusing irresponsible behavior is unacceptable. You push for double standards for your heroes, whereas I support everyone being held to the same standard.

Responsibilities of a Producer During Production

As production gets underway, a producer’s responsibilities shift to include the following:
  • Work with the director to bring on key creative partners such as a cinematographer (director of photography), a production designer, casting agents.
  • Hire a line producer to put together a budget and schedule.
  • Offer advice and sign off on all major creative decisions.
  • Manage all logistics and business operations.
  • Supervise all aspects of physical production through the production staff.
  • Make sure production is on schedule and under budget.
Specifically, what part do you not want to be clear to you?

You just love being contrary, don't you? If President Trump was shown walking on water, you'd whine, "President Trump CAN'T SWIM! :D

Alan Dershowitz talks the legalities of Baldwin shooting...

By Pandra Selivanov

Alan Dershowitz believes that Alec Baldwin's shooting of Halyna Hutchins could be considered a homicide. Gun safety protocols are so stringent that an accident of this kind is almost impossible. Armando Gutierrez recalls that on the set of Purge of Kingdoms, "weapons went through maybe 10 people before any actor was handed anything." Prop masters must be licensed, secure permits, and go through strict procedures on set that ensure everyone's safety.

Some of the protocols include keeping weapons in a safe. Then, when the armorer removes a weapon from the safe, he checks it for ammunition. After that, the armorer hands the weapon off to the prop master, who also checks for ammunition. The weapon is checked again on the set. For rehearsals, the actors use only non-working replicas, and the prop master or armorer does not load the gun with blanks until the scene is ready to be filmed. When the armorer finally loads the gun with blanks, he uses only the exact number of blanks required for the scene.

When the actor is handed the gun, there is a general warning that the gun is hot so that everyone on the set is aware of the weapon's status. If any adjustment is needed to the scene, the prop master or armorer takes the weapon back. As soon as the scene is done, the prop master or armorer secures the weapon. Weapons are never to be loaded with live ammunition. In fact, live ammunition should never be on the set at all.

Dershowitz is of the opinion that, since it appears that the people working on Rust, from the armorer to Baldwin himself, didn't follow these protocols, Halyna Hutchins's death could rise to homicide. Ultimately, it was Alec Baldwin who chose not to follow the first rule of gun safety: a gun is always loaded, and you don't point it at anything you don't intend to shoot.

And this right here is why he's not going to be charged with a crime; his Director declared it a 'cold gun', and he had no reason to doubt it. Claiming he should have micro-managed literally everything on the set is just silly.
 
There you go…

Nowhere does it say the actor is responsible to check the gun
 
Where is the part where the Producer is responsible for running the set and establishing rules ?

The Director's contracts usually give them dictatorial control over their sets; it's why they get the big bucks. Few producers are going to harass them, and few Directors let producers tell them how to make movies or what they should do.

Within the limitations set by the union.
