American actor Alec Baldwin has been charged again this Friday by the accidental death from the director of photography Halyna Hutchins during the filming of ‘Rust’ in October 2021.
Baldwin, who has always maintained the version that never pulled the trigger of the prop revolver he was holding, but rather was detonated due to a mechanical failurehad been acquitted in April 2023 of charges of involuntary manslaughter.
However, in October, the special prosecutors in the case announced that they were going to ask a grand jury to consider whether the interpreter should be criminally charged again for what happened.
That grand jury has decided to indict Baldwin again for involuntary manslaughteraccording to the newspaper ‘The New York Times’.
In early October, a New Mexico judge had ordered the film’s producers to turn over documents to prosecutors that could potentially show that Baldwin, the film’s star and producer, was going to get Greater benefits if you delivered the project on time and under budget.
The case focuses on finding out how a real bullet appeared in the drum of the prop gun that Baldwin wielded during a rehearsal and that ended up fatally impacting Hutchins on October 20, 2021 in Santa Fe (New Mexico).
In that state, a conviction for involuntary manslaughter like the one Baldwin could face means up to 18 months in prison.
The person in charge of security protocol during the recording, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is also charged with involuntary manslaughter, while assistant director David Halls, in charge of delivering the gun to Baldwin, accepted a misdemeanor charge in an agreement with the prosecution.
