Honestly, anyone who expected otherwise is almost as stupid as he is. It was clear from day 1 that if anyone was going to get charged it was the armorer girl, and that was a stretch too because woman and connected to someone famous.
The only reason they drug it out this long was to let it fall out of the news cycle enough to keep up appearances of Hollywood not being above the law by keeping this on the Page 9 Retraction level.
That was a stretch because she wasn't the one who gave him the gun. It's the assistant director who should have been convicted, since he should never have touched the prop yet he was the one who handed a loaded gun to Baldwin.
Yes. Wtf were live bullets doing ANYWHERE near a movie set?
Though really they should have long ago switched to leaded guns with effects totally done in post. Sure, it might not be "the same", but wtf, at least you wouldn't have this shit happening every couple of decades or so.
Not to mention the idiot who thought blanks were harmless, and blew his brains out with one. I was in cadets at the time, we got the most intense lecture about that the following Saturday from our range officer ...
Armorer was an obese hollywood woman.
