With Alec Baldwin being charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins, will he and his wife finally cut back on trying to get attention on social media?
Following the prosecutor’s announcement, Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas issued a statement saying that charging his client with involuntary manslaughter is “a terrible miscarriage of justice.” Prosecutors also plan to file involuntary manslaughter charges against the film’s armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, while assistant director Dave Halls, who reportedly handed Baldwin the gun, has signed a plea agreement for the charge of “negligent use of a deadly weapon.
It’s not immediately clear why Hutchins’ family supports the charges, given that Hutchins’ husband, Matthew Hutchins, settled his lawsuit against Baldwin in October, called his wife’s death “a terrible accident” and agreed to become the executive producer on “Rust” so it can be finished and bring in some money for Hutchins and his son, who was 9 when his mother was killed.
Perhaps it will be some consolation to Baldwin that Carmack-Altwies said her office won’t ask for him to be taken into custody. Instead, he’ll be issued a summons to appear in court for an arraignment, which he could do from New York do via video. However, if he’s convicted, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison.
