For context another manslaughter charge that stuck in film is the case of Sarah Jones who was run down by a train trying to rescue equipment off a tressle track that the company wasn't properly cleared to work on. Three people took the hit in that case. Two out of three Executive Producers and the First Assistant Director (a position that serves as the on set safety veto) were charged and received prison sentences in that case.
It is also known that the Rust production had fielded massive concerns from crew regarding gun safety on set in the days before the accident when Baldwin's stunt double fired two live rounds from a firearm that was not properly checked or cleared and called "cold" on handoff. He just didn't hit anybody.
This production literally had a full dry run of the fatal incident with Baldwin's stunt double. Everything from the handoff to the call of "cold gun" was duplicated on the day of the fatal event. That the Stunt double incident didn't cause a full stop and inquiry with a massive change of protocols to the industry's best practice Brandon Lee standard is utterly baffling. The whole situation really is a rare and particularly damning senario of extreme negligence on behalf of production and when the negligence pie gets that big it will surprise you who gets a slice.
