There’s a lot of info in this that I haven’t read before. Two parts jumped out:

“We hired you as both Armor and Key Assistant Props,” [line producer Gabrielle] Pickle wrote [to Gutierrez Reed] in the Oct. 14 email, according to a copy shared with The Times. “It has been brought to my attention that you are focusing far more on Armor and not supporting props as needed.”

And:

One veteran prop master previously told The Times that he declined offers to join the film’s crew, in part, because he was concerned about producers’ insistence to combine two important jobs — armorer and props assistant — saying “this is an accident waiting to happen.” [emphasis mine]

If the prosecutor decides to press charges against Baldwin, he will only get one chance. Their case has to be rock-solid before they make any announcements.

When I watch these cases, that take months and months to “investigate” I have to wonder, are they looking for what really happened or are they looking for a way to let someone off? Around here, if you shoot someone and it isn’t obvious SD your locked up and have to bail out.

The answer to your question is Yes.

To be fair, though, I’ve seen investigations that take years.
I don’t quite understand why this one is taking so long. I assumed there were cameras recording, but that may not be the case. There may be conflicting witness statements, who knows? But if they’re going to arrest a celebrity in a high-profile story, their case has to be air-tight.

Waiting for the requisite “shooting blanks” joke to come up.

Does that mean there should be a paternity test?
