  Not trying to minimize what happened here, because with all the information provided, it certainly sounds like corners were cut, and people acted recklessly, which ended in tragedy.

  That being said, it’s certainly possible that he doesn’t actually remember correctly what happened. A gun firing happens in a fraction of a second, and memories are extremely faulty. He might honestly believe that he didn’t pull the trigger.

  First hand accounts are extremely unreliable, and need to be taken in context when trying to prove anything in court.

    If he can’t remember pulling the trigger how does he remember his lines?

    Evidence shows he HAD to have pulled the trigger. He lied to dodge the consequences.

      Memorizing lines over and over is how he remembers his lines.

        Seeing as he’s a self-described “expert on firearms and filmmaking” one would think he knew what he was doing (source here.

        Maybe he shouldn’t have had his finger on the trigger multiple times during that fateful day (same source).

        So much for being an expert on firearms or filmmaking.

      Because the human brain is weird like that. Half the stuff you think you remember as a kid probably didn’t happen exactly how you think it did, and extremely traumatic moments can create false memories very easily.

      It’s very common for people to misremember things, especially in situations like that.

      He could be lying, but it’s just as likely he believes what he’s saying.
