In a refiled count of involuntary manslaughter, accused actor Alec Baldwin pleaded not guilty. Alec has been accused of the fatal shooting of a cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins in 2021. This case took place in New Mexico during the shooting of the Western Based Film, Rust. As per the latest findings, the 65-Year old actor waived his right for an arraignment. On October 21 2021, the filmmaker was killed by a live round when a Prop Gun being held by Alec discharged. The film’s director, Joel Souza was injured.
On January 2023, the actor and armor, Hannah-Gutierrez Reed were charged with manslaughter. The charges were requested to be put on hold until new findings. On January 19, 2024 the actor was charged. This decision was taken after testimonies given by 7 witnesses. Alec Baldwin has stated that he did not pull the trigger. Forensic Reports released in August 2023 determined that the trigger was probably pulled.
FireArms Expert, Lucian Haag Lucien Haag said “Although Alec Baldwin repeatedly denies pulling the trigger, given the tests, findings and observations reported here, the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver,”.
Alec Baldwin cannot leave the United States of America without a written permission from the court. He is not permitted to consume alcohol as well. The suspect is allowed to interact with witnesses involved in the movie Rust. The armor will be going to trial next month. Lucian has been accused of not conducting a safety check of the weapon. In the last few months, there has been tampering with the evidence held against her.
