I think any lawyer worth a damn is going to be able to get the jury to understand that, at the time of the incident, he was acting in his capacity as an actor, not a producer. But we will see.

This goes to show armorers in showbiz need training and they need to constantly ensure weapons on set are unloaded. Or at the very least, they should make sure they're unloaded prior to filming.
