Headlines are being written that Baldwin "refused to voluntarily" give his phone to LEOs. What really happened was his attorney said the LEOs should get a warrant.
I cannot stand Baldwin. But I have no problem with his insistence on a warrant.
"Detective Alexandria Hancock said in an affidavit attached to the warrant for Baldwin's phone that officials asked the actor to voluntarily turn over the phone, but that his attorney told them to seek a warrant."

Oh, I recognized what you were referring to and wasn't upset but the statement about "questioning his expertise" was just stupid. There were no qualifiers. It sounded like a typical blow-off because he's an actor and performer. It would be like questioning Jay Leno's expertise unless he's telling a joke -- clearly some actors know what they are talking about when it comes to firearms or cars or other subjects.

The Girl files suit against the weapon supplier.
It gets stranger from there, fingers pointing at everyone else, rumors of sabotage.

As eddiememphis said, everyone's fault but hers. I mean, god forbid the armorer be able to check the ammo for an unfired primer. <sarcasm> It's not like you can see the primer when putting six rounds in the cylinder, is it? </sarcasm>
Weren't there reports of them doing target practice on set after filming was done for the day? If so, she already had a practice of keeping live rounds on set or nearby. I still assign 98% of the blame to Alec but the whole point of her job was to ensure the reliability AND SAFETY of the weapons.
I hope they quickly get 12(b) attorney fees against her and shit all over her publicly. The only place she should be working is burger king, cleaning the bathrooms after close, and I do hope this stains her career permanently thanks to the internet.
Mistakes happen, that doesnt erase fault. Issue is, we should have zero tolerance for the lack of responsibility. If she would've owned up to the possibility of a mistake...
CNN — FBI testing of the gun used in the fatal shooting on the movie set of “Rust” found that the weapon handled by actor Alec Baldwin could not be fired without pulling the trigger while the gun was cocked, according to a newly released forensics report.
The report found that the gun, a .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver, “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger” with the hammer cocked at the ? and ? positions. It also found that when the weapon was fully-cocked it “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional.”
FBI examiners observed an internal malfunction of the gun during testing at the fully-cocked position, with the report noting “portions of the trigger sear and cylinder stop fractured while the hammer was struck.”
The FBI report noted the limitations of the forensics testing, saying “it may not be possible to recreate or duplicate all of the circumstances which led to the discharge of a firearm without a pull of the trigger.”
