We saw some footage of Baldwin practicing drawing while on set- it was the same set but he was just rehearsing- it wasn't when the people were actually shot.
I saw it on fox. No, I don't have a link.
Anyway, we were observing him and he had his finger on the trigger- if not squeezing it- every time his hand came out from behind his blazer.
I think he maybe was being honest when he said he didn't pull the trigger. Could it be possible that he had the trigger squeezed as he drew, so when he pulled the hammer and released, it fired? I don't know what kind of revolver it was.
It certainly is probable that he's really that ignorant about guns and gun safety.
Regardless, as the actor with the gun in hand and as the head honcho of the whole shitaree, it's his fault entirely. But there will be no real justice.
It's a single action revolver.
Cock hammer, squeeze trigger.

In some cases, gunfighters would tie the trigger back with wire and 'fan' the hammer to rapidly fire multiple shots.

Alec was negligently holding the trigger back each time he drew, thus setting the stage for the event that occurred.

Sadly, for the film director.

The one thing I don't think has been made clear is where exactly the armorer was when this happened? Why did the AD have access to the cart with the guns and why was he the one to hand it to Baldwin yelling " cold gun" ? That's strictly the armorer's job.
She wasn't allowed in the building after she made her check apparently due to close confines of available space.

The prepped firearm was placed on a cart and rolled in out of her sight.
