I thought it was because he was a producer.
I thought so at first too, but the authorities didn't go after the other five producers. They basically went after him because he fired the gun, not because of the production angle.
Halyna Hutchinson's widower sued the producers. The settlement was reached and he's both being compensated for her death and he's now an executive producer of Rust. They moved filming to Montana and a lot of the original cast and crew agreed to complete the movie, but I don't know how much more they were able to film before the actors strike.
Because he paid the bills? IDK what a producer does other than that, but it sure as hell isn't being in charge of the firearms.
I'm not sure what his involvement as a producer was, but I know a producer doesn't "pay the bills". It's a vague enough term that it could mean he was showrunning, writing, financing. Prett much anything. It could be that he wanted the title for awards or it could be that he had many responsibilities including ensuring that the professionals involved were qualified and experienced enough for their roles - from what I remember, the armourer and some camera crew were probably not.
Sorry, I didn't follow this case so I don't know all the details.
It was because the gun safety practices on this particular movie set were sloppy as hell. The prosecutors argued that Baldwin ignored basic precautions on numerous occasions and that, as producer on set, he was legally liable for the shooting.
