"Made it unsafe" is vague and undefined. What specifically did he do regarding the set that legally falls within the scope New Mexico's definition of manslaughter and is directly relevant to the death of the employee? Did he hire an armorer that did not actually have a license to work in that field, then took advice from them on how to use a firearm? The armorer is the only other employee that we're aware of that had any direct influence on the firearm used to shoot the two victims. It doesn't matter if some scabs were building a shoddy set somewhere in the background with duck tape and chewing gum. His decisions as a producer would need to have had a direct and obvious causal relationship to the shooting for it to be relevant in a criminal case. Just saying "people thought the set was unsafe" is not legally admissible.

I mean... the answer to most of those questions is presumably in the hands of the DA which is why they said they had enough evidence to charge, but I guess we'll all find out in trial. Since the armorer is ALSO being charged, presumably that's a factor.
