A new twist in Alec Baldwin’s fatal shooting on the set of Rust. In October 2021, the actor accidentally killed cinematographer Halina Hutchins, firing a live bullet from a revolver that was supposed to be loaded with blanks. Director Joel Souza was also injured.
On Friday, January 19, the 65-year-old actor was charged with premeditated murder by the prosecutor in charge of the investigation. However, in April last year, the charges against him were dropped after the first charges were filed in January 2023.
However, Alec Baldwin was still not exonerated, and his involvement was once again examined by investigators.
The investigation, which lasted more than 2 years, has not yet established all the reasons that led to this tragedy. Lately, the thorny question has been this: Colt. Can Alec Baldwin hit 45 challenges alone? The artist always claimed his innocence and insisted that he did not pull the trigger.
In its press release announcing Baldwin’s new indictment, the prosecutor in charge of the case did not explain his decision. Therefore, it is unclear whether the new investigation found that the weapon could not have fired by itself.
This summer, an initial evaluation concluded that the Colt Baldwin was carrying could only be fired by pulling the trigger.
However, the gun was broken during testing by the FBI during the initial investigation. That’s why Colt had to be rebuilt. Since then, conflicting theories have continued to emerge, and the investigation has become a real headache.
“I think it’s a weak case that they blew from the start, and Baldwin has unlimited resources. Even if the actor is found guilty, it’s not going to be nearly as much punishment.”Neama Rahman, a former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, explained on the microphone. guardian.
Note that gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is also charged with involuntary manslaughter. His trial will begin on February 21. On the other hand, Alec Baldwin faces 18 months in prison.
As for the filming of Rusty, it should be presented as completed. Director Joel Souza is currently in post-production. The release date has not been announced yet.
