It’s been a while since I really looked into it, but there seem to be some open questions that could get him on the same standard:

  • What’s up with his claim that he didn’t even pull the trigger, which seems to have been misleading?
  • Could he have pointed the gun in a slightly different direction?
  • Was the shot they wanted so artistically necessary that it had to be done with practical effects?
  • Does an actor still maintain some residual “normal human” responsibility before pulling a trigger on a real gun pointed at an innocent person, and if so how much?
  • Did he, in his role as a producer on a fairly slapdash production, bear any culpability for the armorer’s actions or for hiring her in the first place? The NM statute is pretty broad, though I think he’ll more likely face civil than criminal liability here.

All in all, my gut impression is he has a very good chance at being acquitted, but it was also a fair case to bring:

Involuntary manslaughter consists of manslaughter committed in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to felony, or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death in an unlawful manner or without due caution and circumspection.

EDIT: @homura1650 is probably more up on what’s going on than I am.
