There's a weird right-wing push to punish Baldwin and I honestly don't know why. I know this because my dad is full MAGA nut and in between ramblings about Michelle Obama being a man and Jesus having returned already he talks about how Baldwin should go to jail.
From what I've read, it sounds like it was an accident. There was a settlement, apologies were made, and safety standards are being bolstered. Unless the "new evidence" is "Baldwin knew it was loaded" and there's rock solid proof, I don't know what is expected here.
From what I’ve read, it didn’t sound completely like an accident to me. Working conditions were apparently so bad that the camera crew had walked off the set earlier that day. Non-union replacements were brought in, which is why safety standards were low and the set was chaotic.
This was a labor dispute, and Baldwin was careless with safety in order to avoid the costs of providing decent working conditions and pay.
