"At this point, two things are clear: someone is culpable for chambering the live round that led to this horrific tragedy, and it is someone other than Baldwin," the filing read."Baldwin is an actor.
Baldwin, who said in the filing he returned $100,000 of his $250,000 salary for his role in the film, also addressed accusations that he refused training with weapons on the set. His lawyer points to email correspondence with the film's costume designer, showing Baldwin requested gun training by the crew member responsible for firearms on the set long before the film started.
Following the tragedy, Baldwin's attorney claims it was the actor who took it upon himself"to provide [the Hutchins family] redress for their loss," which included finishing the film to honor Hutchins.
