The story going around Fatal shooting on the film set Rust experiences a new twist. This Friday January 19, the American actor Alec Baldwin again charged with manslaughter. However, the case against the actor was initially dropped in April 2023 after an initial manslaughter charge.
Filming of the western Rust took a dramatic turn in October 2021. Actor Alec Baldwin pointed out a weapon that was supposed to contain only fictitious bullets, but in which a very real bullet had struck and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The director of the feature film Joel Souza was also injured.
The prosecutor in charge of this case, which has caused a lot of talk in Hollywood, did not want to reveal the reasons for this decision. “We look forward to our court appearance,” the actor’s lawyers reacted in a press release.
The actor’s position has not changed
From the beginning of this story, Alec Baldwin is the son of innocence. The 65-year-old actor has repeatedly reiterated that he had been assured that his weapon was not dangerous. He also denies pulling the trigger. The investigations have not yet made it possible to know with certainty what happened. The main question is to determine whether the weapon held by Alec Baldwin could have been triggered or not.
If convicted, the actor, seen in Cockroach juice or in the film series Mission Impossiblerisky 18 months imprisonment. In this case, the gunsmith in the film, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, also charged with manslaughter. His trial is also expected to begin on February 21.
The victim’s family is seeking damages from Baldwin
During the initial investigation, police determined that it was Hannah Gutierrez-Reed who placed the ammunition in the gun used by Alec Baldwin, rather than a dummy bullet. The research was unable to establish how live ammunition could have ended up on the film set, where normally only blank rounds are allowed.
The victim’s family is still seeking damages from Alec Baldwin in a civil case. The prosecution “decided there was sufficient evidence to charge Alec Baldwin with manslaughter,” their attorney, Gloria Allred, responded Friday. “We look forward to the criminal trial that will determine whether he should be convicted for Halyna’s untimely death,” she continued.
