Considering it is the santa fe sheriff, corruption could be in play. This girl, most likely is a patsy. She comes from a a family of gun owners and who has also been in the industry. I am more curious why like you there was live ammo on the set. Still it does not mean alec baldwin is not responsible. He is, each and every person should have checked that firearm. For continuity of care, much like a ballot. ALec killed the girl end of story, he squeezed the trigger he was waving it around. He is at the end of the day the last one responsible for it. If someone hands you a firearm and says it is empty do you just believe them or do you check it yourself?
