Previously, it was believed that Baldwin would not be facing criminal charges for his role in the killing of Halyna Hutchins. However, it was not confirmed that Alec Baldwin will be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico, which could land Baldwin 18 months in prison if found guilty.
The shooting at the scene of the film “Rust” happened on October 21, 2021, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Joel Souza was injured as well in the shooting. Since the shooting, the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is being charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, the same charges as Baldwin are facing. Dave Halls, the film’s assistant director, handed Alex Baldwin the fun, and Halls would go on to plead guilty to negligent use of a deadly weapon. As a result of his plea deal, Halls will be used as a witness for the state.
The set is alleged to be filled with negligence, including the armorer and producer of the film, and both of which are being charged as well. This largely explains why the armorer is currently being hit with the same charges as Baldwin. Live ammunition, which is not typically used on the set of a film, was alleged to have been on the set of the film since the start of filming. It’s been alleged that the film’s staff was careless with the fun since the start of filming, at times even choosing to practice target shooting in the same area at the film’s set.
Baldwin still maintains that he is not the one who pulled the trigger, as he said in his controversial interview with George Stephanopoulos.
Hooray awesome
OK charge others IF warranted IE loading ammo into Gun
Hey Baldwin, you took a life and you must take your responsibility.
This guy is a miserable excuse for a human being……The charges are too light
Good. Although doubtful he’ll do any jail time.
Baldwin is an Anti-2A idiot, its the hammer that make the gun go BANG.
By his own admission, He had been moving the hammer up and down, knowing how to pull back the hammer far enough to almost lock it back but not cocking it, by letting go of the hammer WHILE STILL POINTING IT AT THE CAMERA, the hammer hit the primer resulting it the bullet leaving the barrel.
He is negligent by pointing the gun at the camera (including the camera operator) while letting go of the hammer and believing that only the trigger can make the gun go bang PLUS not practicing SAFE Firearm handling.
Remember the old term, going off Half-cocked?
Baldwin said he did not pull the trigger? the gun is programmed to shoot on its own. that should stand up in court. Baldwin has always been a jerk and thought that he is a step above everyone else.
Lock them up. NOBODY above the LAW.
Prosecutor looking to maske a name for herself. Not Guilty
“to be Indicted” “will be charged” “may be prosecuted” “might get five years” “probably will get 18 months”,…. if I had pointed a firearm at a good looking young woman and blown her life into next year, I would have already been in the chair,…. lets get this show on the road and get that scumbag in jail for trial
Can we charge the “Hollywood” system for shooting?
Yes Old Hollywood Estd
