 Affidavits that Deputy Director Dave Halls, identified as the man who handed the gun to Baldwin during the trial, referred to “cold weapons” while doing so as industry code to indicate that the gun had only one charge in it. Court documents say Halls was unaware that the gun was actually loaded.

 The police focused intensely on the sequence of events that allowed the introduction of a live act on the set, the 19th-century western film called “Rust”.
