    I've just never seen anywhere in any firearm code where any shooter (be it licensed or operating under supervision) doesn't retain a large responsibility
    for safely handling that firearm. Sure, there's liability for the safety staff, but that's a separate issue.

    I think that he will face a jury who haven't seen all this 'its not his fault, he's just an actor' angle.
    I can see the cops handing out charges in a 360degree pattern.

    -Failed to personally clear the weapon (as seems to be required of him personally by law in New Texas, and industry standard operating procedures)
    -Didn't keep his finger out of the trigger guard as trained on multiple film sets.
    -Failed to hire sufficiently experienced safety staff in his capacity as co producer
    -Failed to act on the serious safety breaches in his capacity as co producer
    -Failed to report staff for plinking and bringing live ammunition to his site (if they can prove he knew which wont be too hard if he was aware).

    I reckon he's going to get eaten alive by lawyers (my 2c). Not a lot of wiggle room in those questions for his defense team.
