I remember both of those incidents. Saw "The Crow" soon after Brandon's sad death.
Likewise.
Both of those tragedies would have been presented had an armorer or property master done their job correctly.
I may be misremembering, but I think Cover Up had only a property master and not an armorer.
Regardless whichever it was, in both cases they didn't do the job they were charged with and needless deaths resulted.
Another aspect of the Rust shooting that bothers me is the 1st Assistant Director's role.
I believe this is the one who actually put the gun in Baldwin's hand.
Typically the 1st AD is the head safety guy on set.
As such, I think he would also be responsible for checking the firearm before handing it over.
To that end, I say that's why he was charged in the shooting death, but later give a plea deal.
That deal should never have happened.
I speculate the deal was to help get enough wood to build a bat to use on Baldwin.
Baldwin never should have been charged either time, and I hope his attitude doesn't get him convicted.
