Actor Alec Baldwin has been formally charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a New Mexico movie set in 2021. DETAILS: 9News
Baldwin's attorney called the prosecutors' decision "a terrible miscarriage of justice".Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter over the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021, prosecutors have said.
"We intend to bring the full truth to light and believe Hannah will be exonerated of wrongdoing by a jury," Jason Bowles said in a statement on Thursday.The shooting of two film crew members by Baldwin during a rehearsal of the Western film Rust in New Mexico in October 2021 has resulted in a whirlwind of finger-pointing.
Carmack-Altwies said charges will be filed by the end of January, and that Baldwin and Gutierrez Reed will be issued a summons to appear in court. She said prosecutors will forgo a grand jury and rely on a judge to determine if there is probable cause to move toward trial. The shooting on the New Mexico movie set has resulted in a whirlwind of finger-pointing and allegations of negligence from those involved.
An FBI forensics report said the weapon could not be fired during FBI testing of its normal functioning without pulling the trigger while the gun was cocked.The report also noted the gun eventually malfunctioned during testing after internal parts fractured, which caused the gun to go off in the cocked position without pulling the trigger.
In November, Baldwin filed suit against Gutierrez Reed and Halls and other individuals associated with the film, according to a cross-complaint obtained by CNN. New Mexico's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau has levied the maximum fine against Rust Movie Productions, based on a scathing narrative of safety failures, including testimony that production managers took limited or no action to address two misfires of blank ammunition on the set prior to the fatal shooting.
