On October 20, 2021, Alec Baldwin, a famous actor who played the lead role in the film "Rust," was officially accused of murdering cameraman Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film. The Daily Mail has reported that Baldwin has been charged with manslaughter as it was announced earlier this month.
The film's gunman, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and Baldwin have both been charged with manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyne Hutchins. The two people have been charged with criminal negligence resulting in the death of Hutchinson.
During the week of January 19th, Mary Carmack-Altwies, the Santa Fe prosecutor, announced she would be filing criminal charges in the case. As a result of their conviction, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed could serve up to 18 months in prison.
An individual who violates this provision can potentially be sanctioned with a five-year ban on the use of firearms. A scene was about to be filmed when Baldwin's Colt 45 went off on October 21, 2021, killing Hutchins and injuring the film's director, Joel Souza, as he was preparing for the scene.
While an FBI analysis of the gun revealed that it was working normally, Baldwin alleged that he did not pull the trigger.
Dummy Bullet
A dummy bullet was supposed to be the only type of ammunition in the gun. There was, however, a real bullet that somehow found its way into the gun as well.
The gun was loaded by Gutierrez Reed. It was alleged by prosecutors that none of them had taken sufficient precautions regarding their security. As a result, they claim that if they had done their job properly, Hutchins would still be alive today.
According to the lawyers of the accused, their clients are innocent of the charges against them. As a result, they predict that in court, they will be acquitted. “This decision distorts the tragic death of Halyne Hutchins.
It represents a terrible mistake. 'We are going to fight these charges and we are going to win,' Baldwin's attorney Luke Nikas said. Gutierrez-Reed's attorneys said that the investigation had been "grossly flawed," and that they intended to present the full truth. "We believe that Hannah will be acquitted by the jury," they said.
